Appointment in San Diego

The peri's office called today (thank God!) and I have an appointment for Feb. 2 to get a fetal EKG. I guess the earliest they can do one is 23 weeks or they would have gotten me in this week. We're doing somewhat good on the "not worrying" part, although I'm sure it could be better. Actually, I was doing ok until the doctor office called and the nurse on the phone was SO nice, that it unnerved me. I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, she could just be an extremely nice person! Right? And then when the peri's office called the nurse there proceeded to read the fax from my doctor OUT LOUD. When you hear the words "Urgent" and "please get her in as quickly as possible" it does a few things in your mind. So I just keep telling myself that maybe the office has a tendency to lag on making appointments? Ugh. This is definitely torture.
On the other hand, the Lord has been very sweet and keeps giving me just about every verse in the Bible about not worrying and trusting Him. I know no matter what happens it'll be ok. He's walked this road before me.

We decided on a name!!

Oh yes, I forgot to menton this important bit of information! The baby's name will be Elias Alexander. :) Cisco's been stuck on Elias for the last two pregnancies, so I finally gave in. I know.
I'm so nice. Just kidding. Actually, it's rather grown on me and now I pretty much love it.

Doctor Appt. 1/22

So I had another appointment today, just a routine check-up, and the doctor heard an arrhythmia in the baby's heartbeat. She's referring me to a perintologist (high-risk doctor) and they will do another ultrasound on the heart and check it out a little further to see if it's something of concern. I guess arrhthmia's are fairly common and most of them work themselves out before birth. So for now we're just waiting for the peri to call us and give us an appointment. After having two pregnancies where virtually NOTHING happened, I'll admit I'm a little nervous. I could even hear it on the dopplar, it was pretty noticeable that it wasn't a regular heartbeat. Anyway, please pray. Chances are it's nothing, but it's a little concerning nonetheless.
