I had a doctor's appointment this morning
which included the 1 hour glucose test
and a follow-up ultrasound.
I passed the glucose test. (Yay!)
I also got a flu shot, at my OB's recommendation.
My son looked great on ultrasound.
He's 1 lb, 9 oz right now - right on track.
The little spot on his heart is still there,
but the doctor isn't concerned.
She said that it isn't going to affect how his heart works,
and so it isn't considered an abnormality.
It is likely a thicker piece of muscle.
They were also concerned about placenta previa
at the last appointment.
My placenta has moved out of the way,
so there isn't a risk of previa anymore. Good news all around!
Here are some pictures from today:
