Heart Appointment Update
Im finally back from the doctor my appointment was at 10:00 and its almost 2:30 now. Its been a long eventful day, but I'll tell you about that later. My baby is perfect! She dont see anything at all wrong with the heart. Its the right size, shape, and opens and closes like its supposed to. But.....theres always a but...she saw a little fluid. She measured it and said up to 2 millimeters is normal because everyone has a little fluid around there heart and Braydens is way below 2 millimeters. She said its nothing to worry about and shes going to mark on paper that the heart is perfectly normal but shes also going to mention it to my doctor just so he can keep an eye on it. She said next time it might not even be there. I think she called it a hair of fluid. She said I have nothing to worry about he has a perfectly healthy heart. But you know me I'll do some research just to see. The internet can be so wonderful but also a pain because of what all you can find out on here. LoL. Im not worried at all, the way I see it shes a baby and childrens heart doctor if she thought it was harmful she wouldnt have said its nothing to worry about and she would have looked further into it. I also asked her to check and see if it was still a little boy and she did and hes definatly still a little boy....and sticking straight up hes not ashamed and doesnt hide it. LoL. Something I found interesting when we first started the ultrasound Brayden was hyper moving around like crazy she said I'm going to give you a sucker she said it calms the baby down and then hopefully I can get some good pictures. Well she gave me a sucker just a regular sucker nothing fancy or anything and within mins Brayden calmed down and went to sleep. It was crazy.....I stopped sucking the sucker for about 5 mins and he woke back up and started moving around again. She didnt know, and neither do I, what would cause that to happen but she said it works everytime. The only thing I can think is it calms you down so in return it calms the baby down, but still weird. My eventful day started at 6:30 this morning when my mom called and asked if we could bring the truck over because she got her car stuck in her yard trying to give my brother a jump because he left his lights on all night. She said she would have left it there but shes been on jury duty the last 2 weeks and if she dont show up they could take her to jail. It wouldnt have been to bad if we didnt get 3 or more inches of snow lastnight on top of the rain yesterday that froze. We finally got her out and had to come home and start getting ready to go. After I had time to think then my nerves started, I was a nervous wreck. I had an upset stomache and I started puking. Then it took me forever to get to the doctor because all the snow. After the appointment I had to drop my brother off, he ended up going with us after all. When I dropped him off my neice was throwing a fit because she didnt want to go to my aunts house today. Shes been getting thrown around from baby sitter to baby sitter because of my mom having jury duty. So she ended up staying home with my brother. Well then I get almost to work and realize I still had my tennis shoes on, I work in a bank and we are not allowed to wear tennis shoes....so I had to go to the only store in town, Family Dollar, and buy a cheap pair of dress shows to get me through the day. I ended up getting to work at almost 2 and I get off at 4. What a waste but I dont have enough vacation to take the whole day off. So thats my day. Hopefully the rest of the day consist of relaxing. After being nervous and tense for the last month I need a good day of relaxing. Well I better let you guys go. Thank you so much for the prayers, love, and support the last month. Hugs and love, Monica

I\'m so glad everything is fine with Brayden. You\'re absolutely right, if the doctor thought there was a problem, she would have said something.
I think you\'re entitled to a little prenatal massage after all of this stress!
