It's a........

BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No surprise here! :) I just knew it was a boy. God truly answered my prayers though. There was absolutely no disappointment in my heart when I heard the news. How could I be disappointed looking at the beautiful little creature God placed in mine and Ronnie's care? He looks wonderful, and I really am thrilled about a 3rd boy. The more I think about it, the more excited I get. Three boys....three little guys to spoil their Mommy for the rest of their lives!!! :) lol. Boys love their Mommas, right?!! And, a little baseball team for Daddy! :)

The ultrasound looked great, everything measuring correctly, everything looking healthy. The doctor talked in depth about the antibody in my blood, just giving more detail. He said that they'll need to watch for anemia and low blood in the baby. They can do that through ultrasound, and would only take the next step to amnio. if my levels were to rise, and the baby show a true threat. I will go back for another ultrasound in 4 weeks. He did say that this positive antibody that I have hardly ever affects the baby. 90% chance it never will! Good news! Like I've said before, I truly believe in my heart that this will never become an issue, and the baby will remain safe and healthy until full-term.

I am feeling him move more and more daily. It's so cool! Ronnie thinks he may have felt him with his hand on my belly a few days ago. I love it when he can feel it too, so that he becomes closer to the baby physically. Ethan is so funny talking to my belly-- he lifts my shirt and says, 'hi, baby! bye-bye, baby!' So funny! Jacob wants to know now what we'll name him. He said, 'how about two Ethans, Mommy?!' haha! Don't think so, buddy!

Guess that's about it for now. So nice to finally know, so that we can name him, and get things ready. I told Ronnie we have to change up the nursery a little-- it's been the same for nearly 5 years now!!! Needs a makeover! :)
