Hearts on Wheels

Last weekend Everett, Chance, and I went to Hearts on Wheels. Hearts on Wheels is a local Congenital Heart Disease Awareness event held at War Memorial Stadium. It was hosted by the American Heart Association and Dr. Kimberly Skelley, a fellow heart mom who also happens to be a pediatrician at the clinic Everett goes to, All For Kids Pediatrics. Chance brought his work gear and shot some video to put together a package to get the word out about CHD's. This meant that I didn't have any help with E, but he did a fabulous job on the story.
Everett had a blast in the tricycle race, dancing with the people from Radio Disney and the giant heart, and running around on the football field (it's the field that the Razorbacks play on when they're in LR). It was really neat being able to see kiddos who has been through similar situations as Everett, but it was also really emotional. I caught myself getting choked up a couple of times.
In other news, we had a fetal echocardiogram for baby boy #2 and based on everything they could see he is completely heart healthy! Woot!! He was SUPER active during the sonogram and the tech had to use both hands on the transducer while the doctor did the buttons to get the pictures that they needed. This little guy is quite the mover. Chance felt him move for the first time just a couple of weeks after I did for the first time, and at this point you can see him doing all kinds of crazy moves on the outside of my belly. I will be 28 weeks pregnant on Tuesday. I'm finally to the point where I'm not constantly nauseous which is nice. Other than being extremely tired I'm feeling pretty well.
