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.
