It's a....................BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, I wasn't necessarily hoping for one or the other, I was just so so excited to FIND OUT!! Lol!! I was just itching to buy some baby stuff! (We have gotten rid of EVERYTHING!) We're not ones to do "gender neutral" things, so I wanted to wait till we knew the gender before we bought anything. I got some super cute little outfits at the consignment stores this weekend - OH! Also, I got an ADORABLE maternity dress (extremely comfy too!) for just $6.00!!!!
I did end up having to have 3 LOOOOOOOOOONG ultrasounds this past Friday. The first ultrasound showed some fluid on the baby's kidneys, so I had to go to a perinatal specialist (at least I think that was her title - lol!) to have an additional ultrasound done. The sonographer there couldn't get him to move the way she needed him to, so the actual doctor had to come in and do the 3rd and final ultrasound. They were all very long ultrasounds, but I wasn't complaining!! We got to watch our little baby the whole time, and it was amazing!!
They did confirm that he has fluid on both of his kidneys. Apparently this occasionally happens to little boys - the doctor is not overly concerned at this point. I will have to have a few additional ultrasounds so they can monitor it (darn! - hehehe!). I guess sometimes this problem fixes itself, but if it doesn't fix itself by the time he is born, he will have to go on antibiotics for the first week of his life, and that will fix it. We're praying that we don't have to do that - I'm not too keen on the idea of him having to be on antibiotics so soon. I'm not completely against them, I believe at times they're necessary, but it just seems so soon!! Anyway, the Lord knows, and in the meantime, I'll be doing some research of my own to make sure I'm educated about it.
Well, I think that's about it for now!
