So I definitely have a lot of catching up to do...I have been a slacker when it comes to blogging. I am now 8 months pregnant about seven weeks left and starting to count down. They say that every pregnancy is completely different and I would for sure say that this one has been compared to Mylee. First trimester I was really sick, very tired, and started showing a lot faster. I quickly realized that because I had Mylee plus working at nights and on weekends my energy was shoot. After about 17 weeks definitely started feeling better and had more energy. We were really excited to find out what we were having from the beginning I would say both Jesse and I kept thinking a boy and Mylee always told me it was going to be a boy, the morning we went to find out I asked Mylee what if the Doctor tells us its a girl? She said no she will tell you its a boy, and she was right. We are really excited to have a little boy although its a little weird to think about because i am so used to everything being all girl. Jesse was super excited and couldn't wait to start texting and calling everyone to let them know.
From our twenty week ultrasound appointment we got some worrying news, they had told us they found a hole in the baby's heart which could mean a couple of things if it was small enough it would possibly be able to mend on its own or if it was big enough the baby would have to have open heart surgery as soon as he was born to fix it. So needless to say it was very stressful, we had to go about 5 weeks later to primary children to have a fetal echo done to determine exactly how big the hole was. Very nervous we went in and left with a extremely grateful hearts because everything came back normal, there was no hole and everything looked great. With that under our wing we then found out that the baby only has one kidney and I have only a two vessel umbilical cord instead of a three. Which the vessels are what provides nutrition to the baby. So I have and have had to go in to a specialist every four weeks for an ultrasound where they do all his measurements to make sure he is growing and getting what he needs as well as they monitor the one kidney that he has. Many people live with just one kidney as long as the one they have is healthy and normal so they have been keeping track of the one he has. Once he is born we will have to see a urologist to do ultrasounds on the baby to make sure the one he has is good. So far the baby as been measuring right on track which is been great news meaning that hopefully he is getting what he needs. Although this has been very stressful, it has definitely made me realize the importance of prayer and priesthood blessings and that i need to rely more on these things.
We are anxious to meet our little guy and pray he is healthy and have faith that things will all be okay.
