Baby News, Baby Shower, & Christmas

Well, we went to our appointment and learned that our daughter is now in the 16th percentile of weight, when measured up against girls, since girls are typically a half pound lighter than boys anyway. However, while at the appointment, our doctor was unable to locate or see the right chamber of our baby's heart. Whether it be that extremities were in the way, I was going into this kind of appointment late into the pregnancy, she wasn't in the right position, or that simply she has not developed the right side of her heart. So, the "specialist" has referred us to see another specialist, a Pediatric Cardiologist.

We have tried to speak to our OB/GYN about why this didn't come up earlier in the SEVEN ultrasounds we've already had, since they are supposed to have a checklist of what they need to look at while doing them. But they would rather us come in for an appointment so we could talk to them in person, since we found out only a couple hours before our flight to Utah and have needed to deal with part of this while being up there. So we rescheduled my check up appointment, so that George could be there and we could discuss what has happened within the ultrasounds performed previously. 
All in all, George and I feel as though everything will be fine. We of course are concerned, but are choosing to gain further knowledge until we can say one way or another what is "actually" happening.



On a lighter note, I was barely able to receive permission to fly to Utah for Christmas, but succeeded in doing so anyway and had a wonderful time! We had a fabulous Christmas and New Year and was able to spend some quality time with our family and friends. My family put together an awesome baby shower for me which went great. I'm so grateful for all my friends and family who were able to attend and support. Thank you! Thank you!
