Worry, worry, worry...

Last night as I was listening to James and Isabella on the doppler (as I do nightly), I noticed that Isabella's heart rate was in the high 160's--a bit on the high side. I monitored again about 10 minutes later and she had a very noticeable arrhythmia. Todd was listening and handed me the phone to call my OB, who suggested we come in today to check it out. I saw a different OB, one that I really like, and she heard it right away too. She didn't seem overly concerned, but she is sending us to Shands to have a level2 ultrasound done to check all the heart anatomy and make sure everything is as it should be. She didn't seem to think that this was anything serious, but she said it's much better to just take a closer look and see what--if anything--is going on. I am relieved to be getting the scan done and will post more after it's done. In the mean time, please pray for Isabella and for my sanity...thanks!!
