is there anything tastier than BBQ? i guess it depends on your mood and your taste buds. my taste buds are currently "out of whack" because i have a head cold (courtesy of my son). but when we were in seattle the other day, after our appointments, we met up with dave’s sister for lunch [...]

 Wednesday: May 26, 2010 Our day in Seattle began with a fetal echocardiogram (basically, a fetal heart ultrasound). Dr. Krabill is a fetal heart expert. She confirmed that Daisy’s heart appears to be functioning normally – chambers, valves, flow, output, contraction, etc., which is encouraging. On several views, she thought the heart looked slightly enlarged, [...]

 Friday: May 21, 2010 Well folks, today was ALMOST the day. I went in for an ultrasound, NST and an appointment. The ultrasound results were mixed.

My thoughts (and the results) based on my OB appointment in Bellingham from today:      Tuesday: May 18, 2010   I got read the riot act today by Dr. Mora. Apparently, I’m in charge of their office for the duration of this pregnancy – that’s how “high risk” of a situation this is. But, [...]
