Mia's appointment with the cardiologist

Mia's cardiology appt went well, and the Dr. was great. The cardiologist said that Mia does have a murmur, but it is a functional murmur (patent foramen ovale) and everything is normal. Her blood pressure was normal and they did a doppler echocardiogram, which showed the blood flow and blood vessels all to be normal. It was a huge relief to finally get some good news at the Dr.'s office. Mia now weighs 8 lbs 4 oz which is 5 oz more than she weighed on Tuesday. Thanks for all the support.

Post some of her professional pictures! They are sooo beautiful. Heidi told me to copy the small samples off the website. They are too small to print, but works well on the blog.
I am so glad that there is nothing serious with the heart murmur... Just normal baby stuff.
She has such great color! SHE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BABY...

I'm so glad everything is okay. That would be so scary! She is so beautiful! I want to see her again! By the way, South Carolina is my new love! We absolutely loved it there! We would go back again in a heartbeat!

Mia is gorgeous, Brook and you look great! Sorry to hear about the scare- there's nothing worse than having a scare with a new baby! Glad everything is alright! Good luck getting some sleep!

I didn't even know that she had a murmur at all! I'm so glad and relieved for you that everything is alright. Such a panic, I'm sure, when you worry about something like that! We are still dying to see her so hopefully it will be this Sunday. If not, when Matt has time off, we'll come by when it's good for you!
