We had our 5th, and possibly final ultrasound this morning! Evidently, it was too early in the morning for Miss Emma, as she was not very cooperative! She kept her back facing us the entire time - so we did not get any good ultrasound pictures! However - we did not hear or see any abnormal heartbeats this time, and the doctor said we can discontinue the monthly ultrasounds! So we are very excited that her heart problem seems to be resolving!!! We are 30 weeks pregnant now, she weighs approximately 3 lbs, 6 oz, and is in the 55th percentile for size (although her head is in the 75th percentile for size)!!!How old is Emma?

Christine @ 28 Weeks
Merry Christmas!! This is our most recent picture of Christine at 28 weeks pregnant. We are doing well - and the belly is getting bigger every day!Saturday, December 13, 2008
4th Ultrasound
This ultrasound was a recheck of Emma's arrhythmia. It seems to be resolving, as we are now hearing 1-2 skipped beats every 5 minutes, which is much less frequent than initially! Although improved, the doctors want to continue our weekly doctor appointments, and now do monthly ultrasounds to keep monitoring Emma's progress. Everything else on the ultrasound looked good - and she's still a girl!!! She weighs approximately 2 lbs, 5 oz, and her little foot is 2 inches long! We LOVE the 4D images - she is so precious!!!Christine @ 26 weeks
The belly is here!!! We are loving it! Baby Emma is kicking and rolling around a lot now! It is so much fun to feel her movements, and to watch from the outside!!! 3rd Ultrasound
This ultrasound was to check a fetal arrhythmia that was heard at our last doctor's appointment with the doppler. A specialist did this ultrasound, and diagnosed PAC's (Premature Atrial Contractions), at a rate of 1-3 per 4-5 minutes. Initially (at our doctor's office), these abnormal skipped heart beats were noted ~ every 5th beat. 99% of these resolve on their own by birth - but we are starting weekly office visits to monitor! We will keep everyone posted.
