Yesterday, Thursday April 10th, we visited Nationwide Children’s Hospital and met with a nurse who showed us where Catherine would be, where the surgery would take place etc. After this meeting we went for an echo cardiogram for Catherine. All of the findings were normal. Good, strong, normal heartbeat. Technology is simply amazing. Nicole and I watched in silence as the nurse did her thing and examined her heart from every possible angle.

To me, this was amazing to watch. Like watching a video or computer screen I sat in awe of my little girl’s heart just beating away. We laughed when she had the hick-ups and kept squirming all over the place. Her heart looked just like I imagined it would with all of it valves and chambers but I was blown away when the doctor told us that her heart is the size of a grape! Yes! We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

More good news…she was still, and has been head down. Let’s pray she stays that way!

Thanks for the prayers and please keep them up!

P.S. Please pray for Nicole as she is on retreat this weekend. Hey, wait, pray for me too here with four wild boys!!!

    Praying and praying.What a beautiful post. We had a 4-D ultrasound with Baby2, and it gives me shivers to think of it. We thought we had some complications, and though it turned out to be nothing, I will always remember that amazing mind-boggling looking-inside-my-womb feeling of the 4-D ultrasound. It was all I could do not to cry.I can’t wait to meet Catherine in person. (And even as I type that, I realize how silly it is – I feel that way, I can just imagine how YOU must feel about the cascades of pink that are about to come your way…)Hugs to y’all, and some complimentary baby drool,Sarah
