Fetal echo.

I had a fetal echo ultrasound on Wednesday. The specialist said Jordan has a 2mm hole in his heart. He said 2mm is small-medium, so it should close on its own before or shortly after birth, so he shouldn't need surgery to fix it. Other than that he is doing great. He kicks and moves all the time now, he is still breech but has alot of time to turn still. (: I am 26 weeks 3 days today and have gained a total of 31 pounds so far. :/

 

24 week checkup.

I had another prenatal appointment today. Only gained .4 pound from last time 2 weeks ago, that makes 24 total so far. Seems like alot compared to Kaylee. I had gained like 10 with her at this point. I just hope he isnt too big. His heartbeat was 143 today, I think he was sleeping. The doctor adjusted my night time insulin a bit. I have another appointment in a week to see if my blood sugars are doing better then. Its hard to believe he will be here in 13-16 weeks. Going by so fast now!

Update.

I went to the hospital Tuesday night because I was sick all day and couldn't keep anything down. They took me to L&D and gave me IV fluids because I was dehydrated and having contractions. I was there for about 3 hours, the contractions stopped and I stopped puking after they gave me some zofran so they sent me home. Not much else going on. My next appointment is on the 1st of March. And the ultrasound to check his heart is March 14th.

Heart echo/Ultrasound.

We had an ultrasound/echo today, so they could get a better look at his heart. They are sending us to a specialist in 4 weeks so they can get a better look at his heart because the DR. said she thinks it looks like he has a hole in his heart. He was moving ALOT during the ultrasound, so Im hoping they just didnt get a good enough look at the heart. He was measuring perfect and now weighs 1 pound 2 ounces. (: I've gained 23 pounds so far. :/ I hope I dont gain more than 40 total.

21 weeks tomorrow.

My next appointment isnt until February 16th, it's a growth ultrasound and they are checking his heart also since they couldnt see it well at the anatomy scan. He kicks alot, mainly in the morning. My back has been hurting alot lately, I think he pushes against it. We're going baby shopping this weekend, Im excited. (:

19 weeks.

I am 19 weeks today. Jordan's heartbeat was 160 today. I don't have another appointment until February 16th, which is an ultrasound to check his growth. I felt him kick from the outside the first time last night! (: It was exciting. He kicks ALOT more than Kaylee did, hopefully he isnt a hyper baby.

Anatomy Scan.

I had my 18 week anatomy scan yesterday. They said Jordan looks good. (: They couldnt get a good look at the heart so I have another ultrasound at 22 weeks so he will be bigger and they can get a better look. He's getting pretty big. She said he is 9 ounces and his heart beat was 184bpm. I got alot of pictures yesterday, and she confirmed he is a boy. Now I really want to go baby shopping! Im going to pick a really cute outfit for him to go home in, probably a shirt with shorts, sock, and mittens.
