Over the last month or so I've had a few "episodes" where my heart is pounding and beating really fast. It's kindof hard to catch my breath. It comes on for no reason and last about 1 to 1.5 hrs. I called my OB last week after it happend and went it. He did an ultrasound on Aiden and everything was fine with the baby :) He also wanted me to followup with a cardiologist. I saw him the next day at noon and he thinks I have what is called Mitral Valve Prolapse. You can look it up on the internet for more info, but he thinks it is a mild enough case that hopefully no treatment will be needed. He said I'm having these sympotoms because of the pregnancy and while they may be scary they are not harmful to me or the baby! So that is good news. He had me wear at 24 hr heart monitor and I happend to have an "episode" while wearing it so I'm waiting on a call back from him this week to see what that test looked like. I also am going back on Dec 8th for a followup EKG to see how things look. Hopefully it is like he said and the symptoms will subside after the baby is born and we won't have to worry about it in the long run! Got about 10 more weeks until baby is born, I can deal with it until then.
This past weekend I took Charlie to a fall fest a local church and it was really nice. I didn't get a ton of pictures because Chess was home watching the LSU game and I was trying to keep up with little man and take pics all myself! There were several inflatable bouncers, a couple of slides, trunk or treat, food, and music. We had a ball!
my little Buzz Lightyear!
We will try to catch a couple more fall fasts this coming weekend...maybe dad will join us since LSU is off this weekend!
Sunday for church Charlie finally got to wear the outfit that Erik, Carley, and Addison gave him for his 1st birthday!!! It is 18 mo, but it ran pretty big....look at this handsome little fella!!
Thanks Carley
