At the last ultrasound, baby Ava was too small for them to see all of the chambers of her heart. They had me come back at 20 1/2 weeks which was Monday. Unfortunately, they couldn't see her heart at all. She has one but she was in a crazy position and was sound asleep. She wouldn't move AT ALL for over 30 minutes. Now I have to go to Maternal Fetal Medicine for another ultrasound. I don't want to go though. It's where they send you when there is a problem. The doctor assured me they didn't see anything wrong but couldn't get the right views and this place will be better. But still...So, we will go for another ultrasound next week. 3 in as many weeks.
I brought home the DVD from the ultrasound and the boys watched it. Caleb was confused because it didn't look like a baby to him (especially the close ups of arm bones and such!) but Knox really liked seeing the baby on TV. They are so excited to meet this baby. We all are. And although I'm nervous, I trust the Lord to care for her and grow her perfectly, according to His will.

That is nerve-wracking but just to give you a bit of comfort, we had the same problem with Glory. They couldn't see all four chambers and sent us better ultrasound place and bam - there they were! This was even before all her other crazy junk.
Still will pray for your peace & for her sweet little chambers.
we had to go there for some questionable stuff on ultrasound #1, too. but the place is wonderful! the techs are awesome, they let you see 4-D pictures of the baby, and there are twinkle lights on the ceiling. next pregnancy, i'm actually going to start requesting to go there :) we'll be praying for baby Ava.
we went there for the twin pregnancy and i go there every other week for this pregnancy too. we see dr wall and love him and have enjoyed the other docs as well. we'll pray!
we'll pray too. they will make you feel very comfortable there...i just had my first appointment there yesterday for the twins and felt very taken care of.
thank you for all the encouragement, ladies! maybe this is just a blessing to get even better pictures and see my sweet Ava more! :)
