OB Visit and Fetal Heart Echo!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you an update on today's doctor's appointments. The OB visit went great. Frankie's O looks good. There are no signs of distress and the O looks like it has improved from when they first saw it (the shape and location). It's much easier for them to see it now. His heart rate was great! He moves a TON! He really enjoys having a foot in his face and or his hands by his face. He's such a cutie! The fetal heart echo went well today, too! The cardiologist is still confident that there is nothing wrong with his heart. She said that if there is a hole in his heart (VSD), that it is so small that they can not detect it which means that it will close up before birth. She said that we could come back in 8 weeks for another echo, but it wasn't necessary. We decided not to get another one. They have seen all that they can see and his heart looks great! Once Frankie is born, they will do an echo then (as they do with all O babies) just to make sure that all the appropriate valves close up and such. Today was a great day! Praying that it ALL continues to be good like this! I believe it will! My next doctor's appoint is June 1st. This is just for a regular OB visit. My next ultrasound to check is growth is on June 15th. I will be sure to keep everyone posted if anything arises. Thank you all so much for your love, support and prayers! We appreciate it more than you'll ever know! Love to you all!

 Frankie has his right arm/hand up by his ear and his left foot in his face! We just love this little guy more than words can express!
