Just wanted to let everyone know a plan that has been set in place (at this point). After our baby girl is born the doctors will give her an ECG (electro cardio gram ... a few electrical probes placed on her body) to examine her heartbeat pattern. If the pediatrician notices that the ECG catches anything of a concern, then she will wear a Holter Monitor (another heart checker, but more detailed) for a day or so to gather more data.
It sure would be nice to avoid all that but we'll see what God has in store :) We're not worried, in that these tests are not foreign to us (familiar territory is sometimes oddly comforting), but the "What if's?" and "Here-we-go-again's" certainly have a way of popping into our heads. So much for having a 'normal' pregnancy and birth!
Grace & Peace

We're praying for you guys!
looking forward to meeting this little munchkin! if we ever live in the same area our girls could be school friends! praying for a safe deliver and that her heart finds it proper rhythm again before that!
I pray that her heart will be beating a perfect rhythm at birth so that the two of you can just relax and enjoy her! Having had ALL of my children spend time in the NICU I always dreamed of that perfect delivery where the baby went home the next day or two with no concerns so I know how badly you both must want this! I pray your prayers for that will come true! HUGS to you both!
I too never had two normal pregnancies or deliveries, but Marcus is healthy as can be. I pray and hope for the best.
Love, Hege
