Update on Baby Feagan

On Tuesday, at my first scheduled sonogram, clear pictures of the baby could not be made and there was difficulty in measuring the important parts (heart, bone lenght, etc.) so I was sent to a specialist. They called me late Wednesday evening to see if I could make the 11 AM appointment. Not a problem, other than Aaron wasn't going to be able to make it.

Nervous as I could be, my parents went with me because I was unsure of the news I would receive and didn't want to be by myself. I noticed when I dropped Vivian at school there were several cars in the parking lot, not realizing what day it was. While we were driving to my appointment my parents said they attended morning Mass and prayed for us, all of us, today is All Saints Day. Aaron sent me a text as I arrived at the doctor's office, said he was nervous, I almost cried right then... asked him to say a rosary and he said he did on his way to work.

Obviously our prayers were answered, everything is normal. Dr. McGee looked at every part of the baby, all measurements were consistent for a 20 week pregnancy. On Tuesday, it was thought the baby was measuring small, around 18 weeks, which was a bit concerning. The heart function was normal as was the blood flow with the umbilical cord. Baby Feagan was extremely active this morning, which of course is a very good sign.

Last but not least, we found out who will be arriving at the Feagan household in March. It's a GIRL!! Aaron and I are very excited... Vivian on the other hand still thinks she's getting a baby brother, going to have to work on this one since the Princess will have to share her throne with another one!
