Baby Roo-bug Update

So we went in for another ultrasound today. Just to keep tabs on our little Roo-bug. ( I think the name combo has stuck. :) Baby is doing well, still growing which is good.

The baby's little heart does have what the doctors called a sinus pause. That is the only explanation they have right now. We do meet with another specialist next Monday. The Doctors are calling this condition benign, at present, since the baby doesn't seem to be affected by it. The heart beat is at a regular 150, but when the pause happens it drops to the higher 70s. They said the starting point for concern is 65, but really 55 is where they will take drastic action.

The pause right now though seems to be not as frequent as it was even just last week, so that is amazing! They said though that it could be how the baby was positioned this time, so they don't want to say yet that it seems to be resolving. We are still praying for that miracle of it to completely resolved before due date. I'd rather not have a c-section if I can help it. :) IF, IF this condition does continue it could mean a pacemaker for the baby to keep the heart on task once Roo-bug is born. So far, the specialist does not seem to think that will happen, and more that this will resolve and could just be the lack of maturity of the muscle of the heart and it will grow stronger with time.

Keep those prayers coming! I truly believe God's hand is in all this and only He can work the true miracle.
