THAT
We're having....
A BOY!!!
The perinatologist told us he was 80% sure on our last visit at 13 weeks. We didn't share the news (with the exception of immediate family) in case he was wrong. The ultrasound was great. I was so nervous beforehand. My knees were so weak I could hardly walk. Right away the peri put me at ease and confirmed it was a boy immediately! We're so excited to have a boy! At the end of the exam he said everything looked great and the blood flow looked normal. He really doesn't think I will get preeclampsia anytime soon although he can't guarantee I won't get it after 32 weeks. Fine with me, as long as I don't have a baby born too premature, especially too premature to survive outside the womb. What a HUGE relief for us both. We were on cloud nine walking out of that room. Magnolia slept in George's arms the whole time so it was especially relaxing. I had an appointment with my OB right after. She still wants me to monitor my blood pressure twice daily. My blood pressure today was 120/80 and I only gained 4 lbs. this time, yeah! Oh, one more thing. The baby is large, he's in the 94th percentile. My O.B. wants to keep an eye on that which of course now has me worried. George keeps reminding me that he was 9lbs. Yikes. :) I'm very happy and relaxed today not to mention that I've been feeling the baby move in the past few days which is awesome!

Congratulations!! What awesome news! I can't imagine your relief. I'm sure your nursery will be beautiful!
Congratulations!! So excited for you, you Hub and Magnolia! So glad to hear that things are going well. Both of my boys weighed 9 pounds at birth- it's nice when the baby is big, doesn't seem so fragile. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy thinking about and working on names and the nursery!

Justin was 9 pounds and 22.5 inches long. I did have an epidural, but delivery was a quick 4 pushes and he was out! Bigger is not always bad...I didn't feel like he was so fragile when I brought him home. I love keeping up with your blogs :)
We are so happy for your family!! Congrats!!
Love, Bridget and Ben
