The doctor said that Wyatt is doing well. His over all growth is 4 days ahead of schedule, his belly growth is a week ahead of schedule, and my fundal height is at 26 weeks. His brain, stomach, kidneys, and the amniotic fluid all look good. He is growing like a weed in there. We learned today that along with his giant feet come some giant hands as well! Loooooong fingers!! :)
Our NP said to eat a high protein diet, as that is how to fatten a baby up, and we want him to be as big as possible, because he will tolerate surgery better, the larger he is. So high protein it is! Currently, they have him weighing in at 1 pound, 11 ounces, which is good.
We see the cardiologist on Monday for what I assume will be another fetal echocardiogram. We will see what he has to say as far as Wyatt's heart goes. The OB did say that there wasn't a change to Wyatt's heart, still pretty much nothing on the left hand side, which was expected. I think the cardiologist will dig further into blood flow, and make sure that Wyatt's PDA is growing normally, as that will be his lifeline until he has his first surgery.
Our fingers are crossed for more good news from the Cardiologist on Monday. We would love to hear that the remainder of Wyatt's heart is growing normally, and that his PDA is growing and functioning normally as well. We will be sure to update again after we have talked with him.
