Good news!

Good news!  Went to the doctor today, and everything appears to be normal.  He does still have an echogenic bowel, but there is absolutely nothing else that looks abnormal.  He said that if it were a virus, there would most likely be an enlarged liver, or brain, growth, or placenta abnormalities and there was none of that.  He said it all looked great.  He said that after he is born, the pediatrician will do tests and such, and we'll watch his bowel movements to see if everything looks normal, and then we'll know for sure.  He spent a lot of time talking to us and calming our fears.  He said that with nothing else showing an abnormality, that 99.9% of the time, it is just nothing at all and will go away!  Thank you so much for your prayers!

Is our newest baby boy precocious already? I hope you can see this, but this is a close-up of his face (on the right half of the picture. I turned it to where his face is upright). His mouth is open, and it looks like he's sticking his tongue out at us!! The doctor said that he's showing us what he thinks about us doing this ultrasound on him!
