Heart murmur almost stopped my heart


The twins had their two month doctor visit the other day and we got the great news that Hunter is now 7 pounds 2 ounces and Penelope is 6 pounds 13 ounces. Super for babies born under 5 pounds.

We also got the news that Penelope has a heart murmur.

The doctor told us not to be alarmed and that on a scale of one to ten, she would give it a .5. But still. This is my baby we are talking about...I'm going to worry and I am going to google what it means to have a heart murmur and I am going to freak out.

Then today, I catch up on the latest Project Runway and what is it about?! Designing for women who have heart disease and one of the women talks about her heart murmur. I know it just so happens to be heart health month, but still.

Since the doc isn't worried, I am trying my darndest not to be. She said we'll pay attention to it at each visit.

Yes, I even tried putting my ear to Penelope's tiny chest and listen in, but all I can hear is the most beautiful sounds ever.
