Well, Hello There

Hi! I guess I should say sorry for leaving you all hanging like that. It's been a while since I've bothered to post...my blog even went offline. SAD!!!!

Never fear though, it's back. And this time I wanted to tell you all about the sweet little human growing inside of me. As you know, the human is a boy. Josh and I are beyond thrilled to be welcoming a little man into the family. So far, everything is going perfectly. We did have a small scare around 20 weeks when some Bilateral Choroid Plexus Cysts showed up on his precious little brain. Our Dr. Said that this is a fairly common thing to see and rarely does it mean that there will be complications or genetic mutations, but the fact that it was a possibility scared us senseless. These cysts are a "soft marker" for trisomy 18 and/or Down's syndrome. We had to go back in two weeks after our 20 week ultrasound to recheck the cysts. Like the article I've linked to the condition says, more often than not these cysts go away on their own, so we were holding on to hope that the cysts would be gone. Well, God is good and He answers prayers. At the second ultrasound of baby boy's precious, growing brain it was found that the cysts were gone. The likelyhood that something will be abnormal with our son is so slim that all our worries melted away. (Almost)

This pregnancy has been so easy for me compared to Abigail, who I thought was also pretty easy up until the end when she made me so wide and large all around that I could hardly move! It's been so completely different than Abby though, too. I knew right from the start that this was going to be a boy. It just had to be.  Now I'm looking forward to seeing his perfect little face and kiss his nose and lips and toes and to hold him in my arms. I can't wait for Abby to be a big sister. I can't wait for our family to grow.

Here are a few fun things to share with you. Baby's 20 week ultrasound photo. I'm so in love with him and we haven't even met yet. I look forward to the day.

Mommy loves you, Sweet Boy!
