Plenty To Smile About

Well, we just got back from what should be our last visit to the fetal specialist. The bottom line is that everything is looks perfect! No sign of any co-arctation (for those of you who don't know, we lost a daughter, Malorie, last May due to a cystic hygroma and co-arctation of the aorta). So aside from a sigh of relief, I want to let out a huge "yeee haw!"

Our little lady now weighs in at 1 pound 7 ounces - up from 12 ounces just 4 weeks ago. Her cheeks are now visibly chubby. She's big for her age, which suits us just fine... until delivery day that is. Ha ha.
She got hiccups during the ultrasound, which we could see on the screen, but I couldn't feel. Since our last viewing of her on Friday she has totally shifted positions. Her head had always been down low in my pelvic region but today she was flipped right around. I was a breech baby and I'm hoping that she doesn't follow in my footsteps.
We've had 7 ultrasounds in the first five months and now we have to go four months without seeing her at all! At least this growing little breakdancer is making her presence known through kicks and jabs.The doctor checked to see if the bloodwork was in for Fifth disease, but results are still pending. She was telling us that she's getting several requests for blood tests for it. This year it is having quite a resurgence!
For those of you who were asking, my due date is May 30, 2009.
I'm going to leave you with a close-up of the picture we got today of her laughing. We certainly have lots to be happy about today.
