Week 25 Update

We had a full echocardiogram done for the baby this week and  came out with great news - she has a perfectly healthy, beautiful looking heart.   (I have a bicuspid aortic valve which they think is genetic or may increase chances of other congenital defects... but I've heard different things from 4 different doctors now so who really knows?)   We were really trying not to worry about it, but man oh man, this was quite the relief!  

Definitely have a little belly going on now :)  But aside from some nerve pain in my lower back, I'm still feeling great.  I feel really lucky that I've had such an easy pregnancy so far. It's hard to believe we are already two-thirds of the way there.

Also got a few more photos during our visit.  The first is a 3D ultrasound... amazing what technology can do....  We tried to get a full view of her face, but she was sucking her little thumb again :)  You can see both hands in front of her face, one curled under the other.  This will probably be the last ultrasound, so I guess we'll have to wait until she gets here to see what she looks like.  Can't wait!!!
