OVER HALF WAY!!
I have been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up on my posts.
He is still super low, i am exhausted all the time but my doctor said I can drink caffeine every once in awhile if I need to, so I have been drinking some here and there.
When you ask Stella if the baby is a baby sister or brother she always reply's with sister, hopefully she will understand that it is a boy or she might be really disappointed.
At my doctor's appointment on Friday I was measuring about 4 days further along then originally thought but my due date will stay the same for now.
The last couple of days have been pretty crazy.
(The following information is more in depth for my blog book)
Friday 18th - I had my 20 week appointment and they did the big ultrasound to make sure everything was growing correctly. Well the nurse notice something wrong with the baby's heart so Dr. Chalmer's came in and looked. He said it looked like the baby has Ebstein's Anomaly. He sat down with me and explained everything then he scheduled me an appointment with another doctor for Tuesday 22nd.
Then I immediately headed to Salt Lake for a bridal shower, so I didn't have anytime to really look into it or think about it over the weekend. Which I think ended up being a good thing because I didn't worry about it all weekend just Monday.
Tuesday 22nd - I met with Dr. Jackson at the Maternal Fetal Medicine Service office in Labor and Delivery inside the hospital. First a nurse did another full ultrasound to check everything on the baby. Then the doctor came in and was kind of acting like there was no way it could be Ebstien's Anomaly but after looking at the heart and determined it was Ebstein's Anomaly. He said I would need to go up to Primary Children's Hospital in a couple of weeks for a more in depth exam of the baby's heart to determine the severity (mild to severe). He also informed me that I would most likely have to have the baby at Primary Children's because there is not a doctor in St. George that is specialized this Anomaly.
I will most likely have the baby in March because they will have to induce me.

It hasn't been to stressful because I know I am in good hands because my OB/GYN caught the issue early and the doctor's will be prepared as soon as I go into labor.
I am excited and anxious for my appointment in Salt Lake because I want more information and I want to know what to expect. Hopefully with the Holidays the next couple of weeks will go by fast.
