Doctor's appt.

This morning at 11:15 am we had a doctor's appt. and sonogram. This was the first sonogram we'd had since we found out about Tristan, at the "high-risk" doctors office, exactly 4 weeks ago so we were very anxious to see him, but also a little scared, because we have been told that Trisomy 18 babies usually start developing problems as time goes on. We knew what we were looking for today: a heart rate of around 150, see if the spot on his head was still there, see if he had developed rocker bottom feet or cleft palate yet, see if he was gaining weight and see if his measurements are consistent with his birth time line? We were very excited - - his heart rate was 144, the spot on his head was gone, no rocker bottom feet, no cleft palate, he weighs 2 lbs and his measurements are consistent with his birth time line!!!! What an answer to prayer. We have made it 26 weeks. Please pray that Tristan will continue to grow and progress until we see him again on October 4th.
