Our appt. this week was at the University. We started with an ultrasound and Will started off with a bang, waving at us. His heartbeat was strong and his growth continues to move in the right direction. Monitoring his fluid is now a priority as it is key to ensuring that his kidney's continue to function properly. As always, kick count is also important, so Will and I get plenty of time together hanging out on my left side. We also met with the cardiologist today for a fetal echo to check out his heart. Though he has a few hurdles (2 holes in his heart, a little leakage, pulmonary valve insufficiency and dilation) there doesn't appear to be any obstructions, so there would be no decisions to be made on heart surgeries, as any surgeries to repair these things wouldn't happen for at least 6-8 weeks, so we were excited to have one less decision that we would have to make on delivery day. 

Will continues to be really active, growing, and progressing. Each week is a blessing...praying for many more.
