20 weeks and it's a BOY!

Today officially marks the 1/2 way mark. This pregnancy has been very rocky. in the begining we were told that it may not even be a viable pregnancy and at one point we were asked if we wanted to terminate it. After a resounding NO from us, they gave us another week to wait and one last ultrasound. Low and behold at our 8 week ultrasound we were told there was a strong heart beat and it must have just been too early to see on ultrasound before. Then at 19 weeks we had our big ultrasound, we found out we are having a BOY! We are very excited to have another little boy and think it will be great for the boys to have another brother. 2 days after having the ultrasound we were called by the doctor. I knew this couldn't be good, they never call to tell you everything is ok. They told us that there was a part of the babies head that was slightly enlarged and we needed to go to Dartmouth Hitchcock to see a high risk OB. Luckily they called and were able to get us in the next day. So on Thursday we headed up to the hospital. We met with a genetic councilor first and then had another ultrasound and met with the Doctor. Docotor Kaufman was wonderful and didn't beat around the bush in telling us that everything was fine and it must have been the angle that the ultrasound tech was looking at. We were so relieved to hear that eveything was fine.
I'm starting to feel the baby move more and more and can't wait for Brady and Cameron to feel it. Brady came with us to our first Ultrasound and got to see his brother on TV. he thought that was pretty cool. Although it's another boy we are going to need a few things, we need to get a new Carrier as our old one will have expired, and clothes are a very different season. the boys were born going into fall/winter and this little guy is being born going into the summer so we will need new clothes. Can't wait to start buying some cute summer outfits! Only 20 more weeks! or less ( considering I'm usually induced before my due date) until we meet our little June Bug!
