Fetal Cardiologist

Today we had our appointment at Lehigh Valley Hospital with the fetal cardiologist. After waiting for what felt like forever, we got started. The tech was in serious business mode and was taking all types of measurements. They looked at all chambers of the heart, valves and major arteries and veins surrounding the heart. At one point, the tech said to the doctor "Oh here it is" and took some measurement. However after some more looking around - they told us that they do not see anything major. They are unable to see very small openings - so the baby may still have a VSD but they did not detect anything today. So the next step is to wait until the baby is born and check for a murmur. I guess that's not much more information then what we had three weeks ago. Nonetheless, I feel a little better about the whole thing. Now I am anxious and want December to get here quickly so the baby gets a clean bill of health. And once again we did not get any pictures! I think at one point the baby had his/her hand in his/her mouth.

Speaking of December - I set up another baby pool. The link to the pool is on the right hand side of the page. Click on the link, then in the box in the upper left corner, enter "baby_roy_2" as the game name.
