I'm feeling good and eating a lot. I have an extremely active baby on my hands. I feel flutters day in and day out. All the time I'm getting jabbed and kicked by this little guy. He's going to be active and a complete mess probably like Will.
We went to see the maternal fetal specialist today and everything checked out great. He weighs currently about 13 ounces and is measuring 20 weeks and 5 days. His heart rate was 156 which has been about the same everytime we have checked. He's right on schedule and having no growth restrictions at all. We saw all his sweet little features and checked the heart valves, the brain, the kidneys, the spine, his lips for a cleft lip, and everything else they could possibly check. All in all he is perfect!
We were referred, as precautionary reasons, to see a pediatric cardiologist in 2 weeks just to check further on the heart. Will had a hole in his heart which they called ASD. Will's hole in his heart closed on its own about a year ago. They said that if your first child had ASD then your 2nd child could be at an increased risk of having an ASD. As I said we are just going for precautionary reasons and they just wanted a new set of eyes to look and see. The doctor saw what could possibly be ASD but he wanted the pediatric cardiologist to take a look. He said ASD is hard to detect in prenatal care but it wouldn't hurt us if we met with him. So please pray for that appointment in 2 weeks.
The doctor said that with all that I'm doing he expects me to have a full term and most of all healthy baby boy.
All in all Luke is a wonderful creation of God!
Please pray for peace of mind as we get closer to 24 weeks because that's when everything went crazy with the twins back in 2012. I'm not going to lie to you and say everything is okay when I will be a nervous wreck from 24 weeks to 40 weeks.
Also pray for our upcoming cardiologist appointment in 2 weeks.
But most of all please pray for this precious baby boy of ours we call Luke!
