Future Occupation: Heart Model

Adam and I met with the pediatric cardiologist this morning for baby's fetal echo. The doctor explained that, while they wouldn't be able to determine an aortic coarctation because of the current development stage of his heart, they would be able to locate abnormalities. I'm happy to report that baby's heart is developing perfectly and is currently the size of a small strawberry. The doctor and his assistants gave many compliments: "That's a beautiful (insert medical terminology)!", "What a perfect (insert medical terminology)!" and even joked that he should be a heart model. He didn't recommend returning for another exam, but said that we could come back again in the third trimester if we would like. We'll also need to mention the family history to his pediatrician.
