Update

I see it's been a while since I last updated the blog. Let me remedy that now. Since my last entry school's started again and I've gone to two doctor appointments. School is good, although there is one boy who is going to be my challenge. Overall my class is nice.
On August 24th I had another doctor appointment after school where Corby met me at the hospital. My doctor did the usual measuring my stomach and listened to his heartbeat. He said it was steady and strong, I was disappointed though because yet one more time Corby hadn't heard his baby's heartbeat. Just in the knick of time, the receptionist knocked on the door and asked if I was still there, to my relief Corby walked through the door.
I hadn't gotten up from having the doctor listen for the heartbeat, so I asked him if he could do it again so that Corby could get to hear his heartbeat. The doctor agreed and for the first time Corby got to hear the amazing sound of his baby's heart beat. I loved the look on his face as we walked to the car.
On Sept. 3rd we went to see a maternal fetal medicine specialist at the IMC in Murray, because I am a high risk pregnancy my doctor wants to leave nothing to chance. We had a third ultrasound where they determined that we are really having a boy! They asked us if we wanted to know and because we had gotten two conflicting answers before we thought we would have them confirm it for us.
The technician Cami said I won the prize for the most uncooperative baby, he wouldn't hold still for anything. He has been really active for the last few days. They couldn't get a good look at his face because his hands were covering it. Nor could they get a good look at his heart. Those are two areas that my doctor wanted to be sure were developing properly especially because of the medication I take, there is a risk of cleft palet and holes in the heart.
So I go back on the 1st of October to see if they can get a better look. Let's pray that everything goes well.

wow, you went to the doctor on my 30th birthday, I told carson to hide a little that day, so you got another look at him in a month!!! I know everything will be just great and carson will come out just perfect in just a few weeks. Keep us updated

Glad his heart is going well and hopefully he'll work with you next time! Glad Corby got to hear the heart!

Thanks for the update.
I've been thinking about you and it seems like I haven't seen you in FOREVER!
I am praying things will go well!
