Heart Day!

Judah saw the cardiologist this morning. It was reallt just a precautionary visit, just to make sure all was well. The heart develops at the same time as the other systems that have abnormalities,  putting him at higher risk for a heart defect. Additionally, his blood pressure is low, as is his resting heart rate, so it was recommended that we have things checked to just be sure. 

This was the easy part. Then he had an echo and the echo did not go so well. He was angry and it took a good hour, but we did eventually accomplish it.

They did not find any major concerns, but they did find 2 small abnormalities. He has a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale- aka a hole in the wall between the heart's upper chambers) as well as a Coronary Artery Fistula. The PFO is very common, the Coronary Artery Fistula is rare. Both are congenital and both will hopefully resolve on their own. They don't want to see him back for 3 years so clearly low on the concern scale! 

We came home and he passed out for hours. 

I even put him in his car seat and we drove to the park-he slept the whole time! I actually woke him up because it was getting crazy (and I want to sleep tonight.)

Micah started to feed him at the park. Bryan finished because...well...it was a park and feeding a baby is boring in comparison. 

Then,  we introduced Judah to the slide..

Not sure it was a win. But he didn't cry!

Also? It's a meat Friday! There was meat at all meals to celebrate. I wish we could live on bacon.

Lastly, good house news! Our loan officer drove past and sent us this picture. Lower brick is on. I wish it was all brick, but that wasn't an option. Even more exciting, we heard today that our closing date is 9 June! Two months and counting!
