Doctor's Update

For all of you who were waiting, here comes the update from this morning's doctor's visit! Dr. Lucas, Rebekah's cardiologist, spent quite a bit of time studying her heart, and he feels that everything is the same as it was when we saw him a little over a month ago. At this point, unless there are other heart issues or complications that arise, we know as much about Rebekah's heart defect as we can know before she is born.

Rebekah measured well today - she is in the 43rd percentile! That is great news as far as her growth goes! My fluid dropped almost in half (from 25 to 13), but it is still within the normal range, so there is no concern there. It is fairly common for the fluid to decrease somewhat due to the baby taking up more space. :) I will be going to see Dr. Greig on Mondays for a BPP (BioPhysical Profile) to check Rebekah's heart, movement, and how well she practices breathing. In three weeks, we will re-check her measurements and hopefully she will continue to show good growth.

One prayer request from today is for Rebekah to turn around. Right now, she is bottom down, which will mean a c-section if she does not turn. We are praying that she will turn in the next week or so before she gets too big to turn.

Thank you all for your prayers. We are getting excited about meeting Rebekah Grace! :)
