This morning Annora had her 2 month app't at the doctor's. He was impressed with how well she's doing, but when he listened to her heartbeat he took forever so I knew he heard something weird. Then he asked me if she ever turned blue when she was crying. (She hasn't.) He thought he heard a heart murmur, so she's got to have an ultrasound in 2 weeks to investigate further. I'm not terribly worried since the doctor said it was probably nothing, but I am a little worried. The doctor said she's thriving besides that, though, which is good.
She had her shots this morning too and took them really well! She's been sleeping off and on since then and is only now starting to get a bit fussy, although we put her in her swing with a pacifier and she's a bit calmer.

| Hey Chantal... When my brother was born, drs thought he had a heart murmur and possibly something more serious, that it could possibly cause real problems, etc. Told my parents to monitor carefully. He had to go back for regular cardiologist appointments through the early years of his life and each time, drs would be like "So is he behind? Struggling to keep up with others his age? Does he have trouble being active? Breathing problems? etc." My parents would always laugh because my little brother was like the single most energetic, active kid alive, lol. He has never once had any cardiac complication of ANY kind - he played competitive hockey for years, was ranked in the top 5 in our city for cross country running in high school, grew and developed 100% totally normally. Turns out he just has a heart murmur, which is not uncommon - both my parents have it also (I'm the only one in the family who doesn't, as far as I know). So I hope Annora's story is just as positive - I'm sure your little girl is just fine

| I'm not pregnant or have kids... However I was born with a heart murmur and there is all degress of them I'm sure (I'm no DR). My mother was told when I was just born and I know back then they did whatever testing. I will tell you I still have my heart murmur and it has never to this day EVER effected me in anyway. My mom never told me about it until I was a teenager because I probably wouldn't understand and she didn't want me to worry or let it effect me as a kid playing and let me go about things normally. I was a competitive athlete right up to 21.. I know it's not a log of info but some positive thoughts!

Thanks girls! You're making me feel better!
Annora is having a huge freakout right now, I think her thighs are hurting where she got the shots. So if she can scream like that and not have any problem I'm sure she's fine, murmur or no murmer.

Chantal my sister (who is now 19 - ok almost 19) had a heart murmer at birth that they were able to see on the u/s! I'm sure if this is the first time you're hearing about the HM, then it's likely very slight! Anyways, long story short it closed on it's own before she was 2 and she's absolutely, perfectly fine now.
I know this doesn't mean much when it's YOUR BABY that has the HM, but I wanted to offer it in hopes that you don't freak out too much~
Best of luck with the u/s

| My sister was born with a heart mumur and hers closed up on its own! Meika also got her shots this morning and about 30min before her appt I gave her some infant tylenol. About .75ml And the nurse said if she gets a fever or seems like she is in pain, you can give them the tylenol every 4 hours or so
