I finally had my ultrasound this morning, and it turned out to be a bit more than we expected. There is only one baby, which is nice to hear, but I could tell the ultrasonographer was spending a lot of time looking at the baby's heart. She left and a doctor came in to talk to us and said she wanted to look some more. She said that in some pictures it looked like there was a shadow in the top right chamber of the heart. This could be nothing more than a shadow from the machine or the way the baby is laying, but she had me schedule an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist up at Primary Children's where they will do an echocardiogram on the baby's heart to make sure there is not a growth in the heart . She kept saying not to worry about it, but it's hard not to. She said all 4 chambers are developed and blood is flowing and draining correctly and looks great. And in some shots she didn't see a shadow at all and in others she did. So anywho, Jan 22 we go see the specialist. Also, this is a stubborn baby and would not cooperate so the doctor could not get a shot of the umbilical cord going into the belly so I have to come back in 3 weeks for another ultrasound with them to try again. Good thing we have good insurance is all I have to say. We were strong and did not find out the sex of the baby, but she wrote it on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope which is sitting in my purse. It is taking all the strength I have not to look at it. I am giving it to Janet so if you want to know and promise not to spill the beans to Tim or I you can contact her!

Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed that it's just a dumb ultrasound machine.
Hope all goes well.
we will keep you in our prayers and hopefully it is just a freak thing! Take care!
I hope it all turns out well, how do I get in contact with Janet?????
I hope everything turns out okay. Are you sad it's not twins? If you are, I'm sorry. And you'd better believe I'm getting in touch with Janet to find out what your having. I think about you a lot and miss you. Things are crazy for us now (okay they have been for the past year) but I'm sure it's the same for you. One of my New Years resolutions is to SEE you. I know we would have so much fun catching up. We just need to find a time. When works for you?
Wow this baby loves to keep you guessing. I will pray for good news.
I do have the secret information. I am willing to tell any would like to know and can keep it from getting back to Holly and Tim. My email is jruss1982@hotmail.com or my blog is on Holly's friends list it's pjhendy.blogspot.com. However, it may be nice as a form of payment if you left me a comment on my blog. They sure are scarce these days :)
For now I will say it is definately not a hermaphrodite... rest assured Holly :)
Also, Holly I pray for you every night but if you would like I would be more then happy to fast with you if you need. I'm here to help in anyway I can. I'm sure it's nothing but an old machiene but I'm here for you regardless. And your little one will be just fine I'm sure
Holly we had some heart scares with Tommy too. I know it is no fun to deal with, but thank heavens we have a world class childrens hospital where our kids are well taken care of. I will keep you in my prayers!
OH my dear Holly! You looks GLOWING! I miss you. And I hope all is well with baby #3.
I lost all my numbers when my phone drowned in a TRAGIC Captian Crunch accident! CALL ME!!!
WOW Holly! I guess I should have checked the blog earlier! I didn't even know you were expecting. congratulations! Can't wait to hear what you are having...guess we'll all have to wait a few more months:)! Hope all goes well with the heart specialists. We'll check in more often to see how you are doing. Take Care!
I hate those kind of things! There is nothing worse you can do to a hormonal pregnant woman than to make her worry about possible complications with her baby! I hope everything will be okay!
