On June 19th, 2012 - We went to meet with the prenatal cardiologist. Baby Jenks was up to his usual stunts of trying to hide and kicking the doctor. The doctor monitored Baby Jenks for at least 1/2 hour - 45 min; looking at every aspect of the heart and measuring the beats in each valve, watching the blood flow in and out of the heart, and making sure everything looked normal. The heart rate was 153 again today and stayed at that rate the entire time. The doctor said he didn't see one irregular heartbeat the entire time we were there! I will still be monitored weekly in case the pacs (premature atrial contractions) show themselves again. The doctor said for sure no heart block which is great! He also said if he didn't see my file he wouldn't know why I was hear since the heart looked and acted to normal. C-section would only have to be used now if the heart rate went low again! After the appointment we went and celebrated with mom and dad at the Clubhouse in Oak Brook. Since getting good news decorating the nursery has been more exciting! We went and got our changing pad cover today! A picture of it is below!

What a great relief! Dr. G. - the fetal cardiologist- was fantastic. He explained everything multiple times and looked at every structure of the heart. He was happy with what he saw and gave our grandson a good bill of health.
