Strong Heartbeat

yesterday, we went to our regular OB for a "normal" 12-week appt. it was actually a really great appt. we had a fantastic conversation with our OB and got a little more understanding of her point of view of what we are going through. we also got to hear her heartbeat! (we had a lot of fears about NOT hearing anything.) it didnt take long for dr. fuller to find her heartbeat. it was going strong at 150-160! music to our ears...

also, we received a call from the UW. they want us to come in THIS thursday for another U/S. they are providing us with a 2nd opinion, so they want to do their own scans. this is such a relief. we now will be able to see estella this week AND see if there have been any changes in the past 2.5 weeks. it will be a turning point for our family. there are only 3 options: it all looks the same, it is getting worse OR it's getting better. guess which one we are praying for? :)

in more news, we decided to let ely know that he is going to be a big brother. he was very cute about it all. immediately talked to her and kissed her and said he loved her. he also wanted her to watch one of his favorite tv shows with him.

we'll update you after our thursday appt...send good thoughts our way!!! (appt is at 1pm)
