Specialist Appt!

Dr Baylor sent us to a specialist because she detected a "skip" in the baby's heartbeat. She has never heard it before, and thought it was nothing, so she was just being cautious. Anyways, everything was fine today. Dr. Berry said that he didnt detect anything abnormal, everything looked exactly like it should. "perfectly normal" :)

Sometimes fetuses have what they call "premature atrial contractions" or PACS when mommy drinks caffeine or eats chocolate, and even if they do have it it goes away when baby is born. But again, he didn't even detect that. So all is well.

Now on another note, we actually got an ultrasound. This appt was very telling. Baby girl is currently 7 pounds 3 oz they said. Oh and this is hilarious, it has been confirmed. The baby is a squirrel. She told us that the baby has some thick hair. I said "like peachfuzz?" and she said "No, more than that, she is definitley not hurting in the hair department"

So i guess she will be taking after Joe. Also, the nose, see it's hard for me to tell what i am looking at in an ultrasound. But Joe said her nostrils are not skinny like mine, they are in between his and mine. So she will be able to breathe. :)

Let's see what else. Oh they got projected due date of May 28 :( My projected date was May 27, so pretty close.

Who knows if that even means anything. Regular Dr appt on Thursday. Can we say "wooooooooooooah effacement!" Everyone cross their fingers.

I'm glad her heartbeat was normal and we can't wait to see her squirrel hair!!!! I hope it lays down and doesn't stick straight up (ha).
