Hullabulo!

I had a prenatal appointment today. I have to say, it could have gone better. I found out that I may have to deliver in Abott Northwestern Hospital( in Minneapolis), because of my heart condition, and my connection there with the Minneapolis Heart Institute. My family doctor is over seeing my pregnancy currently, due to the fact that she has other patients with ARVD. ( In a town the size of Grand Rapids, this is remarkable, since ARVD occurs 1:10,000 in the United States.) I get to see a Dr. Feldman, the lead Heart Failure specialist. My regular cardiologist, Dr. Katsiyiannis, who is into the electrophysiology/Heart Rhythm Management, trained under him, so with these two I should be in a good postion for the best possible care. I still worry, though, since pregnancy isn't a very common thing for people in my position. Never the less, I'm excited about baby Wap, and everything else seemed to be going fine. Measuring a little big, and with a fast heartrate and the bouts of morning sickness, Dr. Romanik told me to tell Matt" It's a girl". Hahaha! I love old wives tales! Noah had his H1N1 vaccination today, and we had the public health nurse come to our house, which was good. Now we are just sitting here, watching old cartoons. Nothing else has really happened though, just Matt's car breaking down last week. I'm hoping things start to slow down, after the trip to Minneapolis. It's going to be a long Holiday season I'm afraid...

Thats so funny, I read "measuring big and fast heart rate" and said, "Justin Wapp's are having a boy!", and then I read "Dr. thinks its a girl". Ha! It sounds as if you are in really good hands at the hospital. Keep us updated on baby Wap! Miss you guys!
