Our Boy

We went to the big ultrasound on Monday and we saw our sweet little boy. It was so fun to see him moving around, kicking his legs and waving his arms. Looks like he's going to be very active, like Heber.

Why have I waited all the way until Friday to write about this? Well, it's been a rough week here.

They found something on the ultrasound that took the magic right out of the moment. The radiologist was filled with scary things about what it could be. I am convinced that radiologists are not known for their people skills. To hear those words made us so sad. We want our little one to be happy and healthy.

We had to wait until Wednesday to see another doctor who was filled with much more positive news. Apparently it's common and something that will most likely be ok but we'll go through more doctor visits and tests. I think it's going to be just fine but it's not what you want to hear.

We're so excited and keep looking at the pictures over and over. I love him already. So, I'm going to do something I swore I would never do. Yes, I'm revealing a picture on the blog. Just don't start asking for belly pics because that is REALLY never happening.

Yay! Your little boy will be adorable. We had a bad experience at the radiologist as well, but everything turned out fine in the end. Try not to worry too too much!

Yay for baby boys! You'll love having a boy (I'm sure having a girl is great too, but I can't testify to that one!) So sorry for the scare you had, but I'm so glad you've had some relief. Baby's are miracles, every single one of them, but sometimes they sure scare us from time to time. I hope all continues to go well for your growing family!
