At the Ultrasound

Yesterday the ultrasound went fantastic. We had an amazing ultrasound tech. We were able to come home with 52 amazing pictures of brain, spine, kidneys, etc.

Erick actually enjoyed the ultrasound more than I did (isn't that hard to believe?). Once the tech realized Erick was into medical stuff, she slowed down to show him EVERYTHING. He was amazed to actually see our baby's cerebellum. We asked the tech if the she could see if the baby would have a hole in his heart (because I did and had to have open-heart surgery). She went back and showed us how a fetus' heart works. A fetus' heart must have a hole in it while they are in the womb (it directs blood flow away from the baby's lungs since he is getting oxygen from my placenta). She said the heart looked perfect, but there is no way of knowing if that hole will close up when it's supposed to.

All in all, a GREAT EXPERIENCE! :)
