Fetal Echo

Friday was our unborn baby's fetal echo cardiogram (try sayng that 5 times fast!) It was recommended we have him tested because of Bekkah's heart problems. I had great hopes of a clean echo, but unfortunately things didn't go my way. We do know he doesn't have an Epstein's Anomaly (one of Bekkah's problems), we won't know until after he is born if he has Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome (another one of hers), as an EKG can't be performed in utero. It does look like he may have a septal aneurysm, or an atrial septal defect. But again, we won't know until after he is born. The doctor said I shouldn't be too concerned (yeah, easy for him to say!) and that many babies are born with ASD's, and have no major problems. He may need surgery when he is older, but again, don't worry. So I'm trying to take his advice. Which is a little hard to do when you google fetal septal aneurysm. I need to stay off the Internet! At least we have a "heads up" this time. His pediatrician and a pediatric cardiologist will be there at his birth so that's reassuring. I guess the bottom line is that I know the Lord will bless us and I know faith and fear can't be present at the same time. So I'll try to enjoy these last few weeks of my pregnancy (I'm not quite so sick anymore) and remember that we are only given what we can handle. I love knowing I have a Heavenly Father who cares about me. How do people go through life without the gospel?!
