Today I took both of my girls to a heart doctor to check on their heart murmurs. I was actually pretty nervous about it. I was sure that it was all just to be safe but there is still this voice in the back of your head that says, 'what if'. They both did so awesome though. The nurse did an EKG first and they just sat there and let her do it. It was cute because Makenna got all excited because she got stickers (they put like 10 sticker things all over the chest that they put these plugs on). Next we were off to get the ultrasounds by the doctor. Makenna was first, and even though she had a worried look on her face the whole time, she sat still and let the doctor do his thing. Jordyn was so good too. I was worried about her wanting to roll over and go crazy but she just laid there and held his arm. It was so precious. He was so surprised at how good she was being. It was also neat to see both of their hearts. He showed me everything and explained what we were looking at as we went along. The final verdict was that they have perfect, noisy hearts. His analogy was you have a Mercedes and a Ferrari. The Mercedes' engine is very quiet and the Ferrari is very loud but is the Ferrari no good? Of course not!! Their hearts are just loud....just like them. It fits;)

I am so thankful that they got a clean bill of health. They are so precious. I remember how scared I was when Joe was diagnosed with a heart murmur. He just had a Ferrari heart like the girls. It makes you feel for the people who aren't so lucky. We are very blessed.
Oh good! What a relief to hear good news!!
I had to take Katelyn in last year to have her heart murmur checked. It IS good to know their hearts are doing great! I was glad to know Katelyn was just fine, but not so glad to receive the huge bill. Our insurance stinks!
Great news!! Hunter had a heart murmur when he was little and he grew out of it. It's all gone. Crazy...
