It's a.....

BOY!!!

 

 Today was FINALLY the day and we were so nervous to find out!  Going into the ultrasound we had the Cabbage wise-tale, the string test and Peyten insisting she's having a Brother so you would have almost guaranteed that we were having a boy, but we really had no idea what was going to happen of course. The technician was going through all the views of the baby and we could not believe how clear we could see him.  As soon as she got to his legs, she said they were crossed and I instantly saw that "It" was now a "BOY". I said it out loud before the tech did.  I was over joyed with emotion this time! I don't know if it's because growing up I always wanted a Brother  and now Peyten will get the Brother she has been asking for  since before we got pregnant; or, if it was because I knew how much Cory really wanted to have a Son! Maybe...it was a little of both.  Cory, my Mom and I were just so excited and shocked that were were finally going to have a Boy in the family...Peyten, well...she didn't really get it at the time but boy was she so excited once she understood what we were so excited about.  I think for her it was more exciting to see Mommy having pictures done on her belly like she did on her heart.

  We now know that we will also be having a few more  ultrasounds to check on a few different things going on with me and the baby.  During today's ultrasound, the technician couldn't get a good picture of the baby's heart because his back was facing her so we are going to end up having another one to check and make sure everything is okay...especially since Peyten had her Pulmonary Stinosis.  So because of this, we may just end up having a Fetal Echo instead of another regular one like today's.  We will know for sure once we see our Primary OB next month.  The other concern she found was with me. She notices a couple small white spots/lines on the lining of my uterus. She said they may be vessels but they could also just be tissue.  She said not to even worry about it yet because until I get a special color ultrasound, there is no reason to worry because it could be nothing.  If it does end up being a vessel, that means the placenta is blocking the baby from coming out and I would have to have a C-Section...not exactly what I wanted to hear but as long as Baby is healthy that's all I care about! The only other time (hopefully) we will be having an ultrasound would be to check the babies weight closer to delivery to make sure I don't have another humongous baby!  All in all...the baby looks very health and I couldn't be any happier to have some extra attention coming my way to make sure he is extra healthy!!!

So now...we get to go SHOPPING and get new baby gear and clothes! Can you see the smile on my face?!?! We just had our garage sale last weekend and now we have plenty to have another one...and that means $$$$. 

I can't wait to see my new Little Man's face on the 3D Ultrasound next!
