I am sure you are all just dying to know:).....ok not really, but for those of you who care to know its official...we are having ourselves a BOY!! Yep, our third boy is on its way. You ask.."how do I feel about this?" I have cried many tears today in disappointment, but I do know that God gives us what we can handle and obviously he has reasons for thinking I need another boy. Im struggling a bit with it as my heart was set on a girl, even to the point where I bought a few outfits that I couldn't resist. Guess I'll either save them or pass them on as gifts to those who have the privelage of raising girls.
My boys are running back and forth all over the house...what will life be like when we add another boy to this mix of activity?? I have a feeling of lots of laughter, fighting amoungst siblings, lots of crazyness and energy and of course love.
The baby looks pretty healthy. There is a minor concern about a "bright spot" on the heart that showed up on the ultrasound. This "bright spot" can mean chromosome disorder in the child, however I have had a blood test to check for this and it came back negative, but we will have another ultrasound in 8 weeks to see if that "bright spot" has gone away. There are times where this "bright spot" will stay there during the entire pregnancy but yet the baby will be born completely healthy. My doctor is not worried at all, she just wants to recheck me in 8 weeks for this purpose. If the blood test had come back positive, or the baby wasn't growing like it should be then this "bright spot" would be more of a concern. I am not really worried about it, but I figure what can it hurt to have people praying for a healthy baby boy?? So if you think of it, say a prayer that this "bright spot" will be gone next ultrasound and that our little boy will be healthy. Thanks.

Congratulations Sandra! When we had the ultrasound with Ben there was a concern about a cyst on his brain. We were worried of course and my "test" came back negative but it was still worrisome for us. So I understand that but we all worry as mothers don't we?! :) I'll pray for that sweet boy and you take care of yourself.
Congrats, dear! I know you're dissapointed, but after he's born I'm sure you won't be able to imagine it any other way! He'll get so much love and attention! I'll be praying for him.
Love ya,
Bri
Oh Sandra, I'm so excited about your little guy, I'm sorry you were a little sad about not having a girl this time. We gotta get these kiddos together sometime...you know, camping, mountain climbing...anything manly like that for the boyish crew. =o)
I'll keep the little guy's heart in my prayers. I think the medical field is getting more picky about charting concerns...they said Jude's cord pressures were a little off but not to worry. Like a mom's not going to worry about something like that...jeepers.

Oh Sandra, congrats on boy #3. God must have made you and Nick to be the perfect parents of boys. :) I feel with each person having yet another boy, my chances of having a girl are probably diminishing too. Seriously though, there is something really fun about a crew of boys. I think it's great.
congrats! we will be praying for a healthy boy! Kirk thinks moms of 3 boys are so cool!! (he has 2 brothers)

Maybe you and Tricia could trade lives for a week sometime and you could both learn how the "other half" lives! Praying for baby Waibel!

It's hard when God's will doesn't match ours, isn't it? Even when we know His way is best. I am praying for you, and your little guy's "bright spot". I also haven't forgotten to pray for Nick.
Love you,
Stacy
Oh Sandra I've been there. :) God is good though. He fulfilled me w/ four boys, then gave me the desires of my heart through adoption. Praying for your little man and for you. When is Tricia due??
