A Picture Perfect Cardiology Appointment

Bodie had his monthly cardiology appointment today and it couldn't have gone better! He's still steadily gaining - he weighed in at 19lb5oz (a little over 10%) and measured 29.5in (over 50%)! Would have liked him to have gained a bit more, but honestly since he's been teething and basically refusing the bottle since Thanksgiving, I'm thrilled he's even still on his growth curve!

His echo looked fantastic as well - praise God! And (drumroll, please), for the first time ever, he had a completely normal EKG! (He wasn't using his pacer AT ALL (likely because we stopped his Propanalol which had reduced his underlying heart rate) - we were thrilled about this, because the less he uses it, the longer his battery will last, which means hopefully it will last until his Fontan and they can just replace the battery when they're in there anyway.) Overall, it was a great appointment! And, since my mom was in town, I took the opportunity to get some pictures of Bodie at his appointment (usually I'm too busy holding him to take pics):

On the table waiting for his echo...
Mommy, are we REALLY doing this again?
Oh, are we done yet (as the tech goes to put Elmo into the DVD player to distract Bodie)? This is how most diaper changes go,too - Bodie flipping over onto his belly mid-"procedure."
EKG time! (you can tell how excited he is, right?)
Bodie checking out Dr. Kim listening to his sweet imperfect little heart.
"Here, let me show you how to do it"
We love Dr. Kim!!!
Bodie doing, well, what Bodie does. Crying. Yup, can you tell someone is ready for the appointment to be over? :-) By the way, not sure if you can see Dr. Kim's hand in this last pic, but she's sporting some new bling! Just got engaged! Congrats Dr. Kim (although Bodie is sad, since he thought you were saving yourself for him - in fact, I like to think that's what prompted his meltdown! ;-))!
