24 weeks!


I can't be 24 weeks already, can I? This pregnancy is going by so fast! Last week we had our big ultrasound that looks at all different angles of the baby to see if there are any complications and everything is looking just fine. We also had an in-depth heart ultrasound at Primary Children's Hospital last month to take a look at the baby's heart and all it's functions. For those of you who don't know, Ryan was born with a faulty heart valve and has had two open heart surgeries to replace it. He is still seen once a year at Primary Children's to make sure all is well (which it is). So we knew from the get-go that this baby had a chance of inheriting the same issue but the ultrasound showed a normal, healthy heart. Not only is this baby healthy, but he is growing fast. Our original due date was Nov. 23 but he's now measuring for a due date of the 15th so we'll see if he continues on this chubby path. Ryan is hoping he'll keep growing fast so he can be born on his birthday, the 10th. Who knows, we just cannot wait to see him and hold him! And it looks like we are headed to California in a couple weeks to visit Bets and Steve and little Charlie so Ryan will get a taste of what having a newborn is all about! All in all I feel good but the heat is a little too much to handle sometimes. I'm always HOT. And I waddle. But it's all well worth it ;)
