Best Moments this week: Friday Kevin and I had a great day together. We were both off work, so we spent the day working on Brody's room. Kevin painted the last two coats on Brody's walls and replaced the plugs in his room. We then went to Birmingham and picked up his furniture Nana and PawPaw bought him. Spent a few hours shopping and eating, and then came home and put his furniture together.... I did help a little, even though there aren't any pics.

Best Moment this week: Getting to have another ultrasound of Brody. I love seeing him. I've been lucky and had an ultrasound at every visit, so it will be hard to have an appointment and not get one.

23 week ultrasound

Look at that sweet baby boy.....

My appointment Thursday was a very hard one. I have been having lots of dizzy spells and passing out, so they went ahead and did my iron test early. We did find out I am anemic, and they put me on some iron supplements. Hopefully they will kick in soon and I will feel much bettter.

Then we have our ultrasound. We had an ultrasound at my last appointment, and I thought Brody was just being stubborn and wouldn't let them get a good picture of his heart. This ultrasound they spend what feels like forever trying to get a good picture of his heart. Of course the tec's can't tell me anything. They give me his pictures and put me in a room. The doctor comes in not even a minute later and says we are sending you to a fetal cardiologist in Birmingham. While I am fighting back tears, the doctor explains that Brody's right heart atrium looks mishaped or is not growing correctly. He wants us to go to UAB to have a cardiologist do an ultrasound on Brody, and see what he thinks. Nervous Momma kicks in very quickly, but at the same time such a peace. God is in complete control and has a plan for our sweet baby boy! He is such a miracle baby anyway, we know GOD is going to do something so special with our little boy. Praise Him! Thank you to everyone who is praying for our family. We love you all so much!!
