Noisy heart

It seems that all of my kids' hearts like to make too much noise. I now have had to take all three of my kids to get a heart murmur checked out. Aiden was such a good boy. He just wanted to sit up during his EKG but never cried and he was totally quiet and just chilling during the ultrasound. The doc kept commenting about how good he was being. He said that Aiden made his job way too easy. That's my boy!! It was really neat to see his heart and all four chambers. Plus, you could see the blood turn from blue to red. Awesome! And thankfully, he just has an innocent murmur like his sisters. He just has a noisy Ferrari heart instead of a Lexus!! :)

You're taking my picture again??? Ugh!!

Ok....fine! Take it. (Poor boy has red marks on his chest from his test).

Hearts like Ferraris

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;)
