19 Weeks - Pink or Blue

We went in for the "20 Week" ultrasound with hopes of finding out if you are going to be an Adelaide or Oliver. During this ultrasound they also look at all your body parts to see if they are the right size and make sure everything looks ok. Before we went in, Preston and I filmed our predictions on the video camera. We still stuck to our original guns, Preston said you are an Adelaide, I said you are an Oliver. We invited my mum to come see the excitement as well.

During the ultrasound they did look at everything. Measuring your bones, looked at all your organs, measuring fluid, etc. Everything looked great with one minor detail. There was something with your heart that made Suzie the Ultrasound Tech take a second glance. The second glance turned into a lot of glances and she called in some specialists. Dr. Reed and Dr. Dixon, perinatologists, came to take a look as well. After a lot of looking their final answer, for the mean time, is that they think you have an atrial septal defect and aortic stenosis. But they said your heart is little right now, only the size of my thumb nail that they cant be completely sure. So the plan is to meet another doctor, Dr. Barber, who is a pediatric cardiologist to check things out in about 2 weeks. They also wanted us to meet with the genetic counselor just for more support.

But there is good news in all of this, I promise. The first one is that your Dad was right and you are a little girl! We couldn't be more excited. The second is that we love you, more then you could know. So Miss Adelaide Ann we need you to keep growing and fighting! We will keep loving you and praying for you.
