Fetal Echo

Today we went in for another ultrasound. Rob, for the first time this pregnancy, was able to tag along! Caleb's heart looks great!! Praise the Lord! This is always a worry for us as we've now had two children born with heart defects. Now just because his heart looks great right now that doesn't mean that there won't be problems when he is born, it just is better that they can't see anything now. According to the ultrasound he weighs 1lb and 1 oz. He seems to have a large head (just like his big brother Silas). Glad to be having a c-section! :) We also found out why it hurts so bad for me to walk, get out of the car, and/or walk up the stairs. Due to him being my 4th baby my ligaments that hold the pelvis together are very stretched out, which has therefore allowed my pelvis to already separate and for him to drop down. He is laying head down right on top of my cervix. I do have a feeling this is going to be a very long and painful 14 ahead of me. Thats 14 weeks if his lungs are mature, but could be as long as 17 weeks (oh please don't let it be so).
