Monday's post... And you are a ..............


BOY!!!!!!!!!!

Today was our big Ultrasound. We were surprised to hear the baby is a BOY. Even though I had two dreams that the baby is a boy everyone around us seemed to think girl. I think we started to believe it too after Dr. M. listened to the heartbeat and predicted girl. But I need to learn to trust my instincts and intuition more.

So Jack it will be. We are very excited about your arrival. We are still working on a middle name.

The US was not without concern. After two US techs viewed Jack the US Dr. came into the room. She told us Jack had EIF. EIF in itself is nothing. It is a calcification on the heart. It does not affect form or function. However it is a soft marker for downs. It has halved my risk factor from 1/1100 to 1/550. Our option is do nothing or have an amnio. While we believe Jack is just perfect we did not want to be preoccuiped for the next 5 months with wondering what if... So we are doing the amnio on Wednesday. I will be on bedrest for three days.
