Yep! We are totally NOT kidding. My 20 week ultrasound clearly revealed that our little baby is now a BOY! It was definitely easy to see that there was a "third leg" haha. I was completely shocked! I thought for sure it was a girl... I looked over at Tyler and he looked like the happiest boy in the world! (happy/shocked!) SO with that being said... I am really glad Tyler has been stopping me from buying little girl clothes.. i have bought 1 pair of cute little shoes and thats it! Unfortunately, my mother in law and a few others had already started with the girly clothes.. oops! And my sweet mom made my dad take MY baby blessing dress to the drycleaners to be cleaned just the other day! How funny! Last night I bought a cute little pair of BOY shoes and matching shirt from puma.com, and then today Tyler and I picked out an outfit at Carters. :)
So I've been debating all day whether or not to share this but I am going to. The first part of our ultrasound went great. About half way through the ultrasound technician got really quiet, and said she would be right back. She came back with the radiologist and they were discussing something on the screen without explaining anything to us (this went on for what felt like FOREVER but it was probably 10 minutes) As soon as she left the room in the first place I knew something was up and I started to panic. They were looking at the heart on the ultrasound screen. Earlier in the ultrasound she noted that the heartbeat was great, textbook great. So after Im already balling even though I had no idea what they were talking about, I asked them to explain. He told us that the septa of his heart does not look the way it should, like it wasn't developed/formed all the way yet like it should be. (septum seperates the left and right atria and another septum seperates the ventricles... i could be wrong I haven't met with my new doctor yet.) I think he mentioned heart surgery but blah I dont know anymore. But thats all they told us. It will change my pregnancy to high-risk, and I will now need to start seeing a Perinatologist. The radiologist also told us that the umbilical cord only has 2 veins in it, instead of 3 veins... which can also give a higher chance of complications. So on top of that my blood platelets dropped to the lowest count yet, 42, so I was started on Prednisone on friday. The side effects of this SUCK. Hopefully that will help with the platelets because if they aren't up to 100 by the time of delivery you can't have an epidural. (I don't know much about that either but I do know that I want one!) I hadn't noticed any symptoms until thursday when I had a little scab that was the size of a pinhead bleed out all over my sheets.. it was great. : / eek.
All I know is that I have an amazing husband who is so good to me and just lets me ball on his shoulder. Tyler and I have amazing parents and family who will be by our side whenever we need them. I have a dear friend who lives across the street and was over at my house within 5 minutes of reading my text. I know that Heavenly Father can get us through anything, whether this turns into something-or nothing at all. It's just a speed bump and everyone gets those right? I'm just thankful for ultrasounds and these awesome doctors that are out there to help.
Anyways, Hopefully next weekend I can get Tyler over to Babies r Us and we can get looking at some strollers and all that other fun stuff! Im really excited to do a little boy room. We have a great idea. :) Bedding will be hard to match up with my idea though!
On another note, today was a great day. My new fridge and dishwasher are hooked up and running just great! It transformed my kitchen. I got rid of the old dishwasher on ksl.com (put it on there for free!) and it was gone within 20 minutes! The lady was so grateful, she said her dishwasher broke a few weeks ago and they havent had money for a new one. So hopefully it will work out for her and get her by. (it was old but hey, it still worked) Then about 30 minutes later, a lady came by and bought a dresser and mirror that I had on ksl too! So that was good. This morning I got a much needed pedicure with Lauren and it was so nice! Our friends Jen and Trev treated us to an amazing wonderful awesome dinner at Cheesecake Factory earlier today (thanks again Jen and Trev) and we bought our little boys first outfit!!

im soo happy for you and I hope all goes well with the pregnancy and the other stuff. your in my thoughts. boys are a blast!
It's going to be so fun for you guys to have a little boy. It's a big deal for the daddy to have his son and the best part is that when then get older you have a "mama's boy" (what I like to call them). But girls are just as fun too. it's great either way. I am so sorry about the ultrasound! I know I will get more of a scoop when i talk to you but is it something that can be fixed right at birth? Or will it cause some kind of health complication for him? Any who I can totally relate we had the same expierence with Belle. they told us that she had a hole in her boul(don't know how to spell it) and the risks we were looking at with her. Two of the three diagnosis where horrible but she ended up being ok until we found out more on her liver situation. I know your little man will be just fine and perfect!!
As the saying goes; nothing goes off without a hitch. The paltelet thing was just an annoyance and this is just a bump in the road. I promise when you hold your beautiful baby for the first time everything, everything, will be worth it.
I can't believe he hid his goodies from the camera, what a stink! Oh well he'll be such an adorable little rascal.
Trinity will just have all kinds of boyfriends growing up hehe. Now we can make our kids do cute little poses like the wedding one you have in your hallway!!! Ah hahaha.
I'm so excited for you guys! I hope all goes well and everything works itself out that you don't have to be worried about anything! If you need anything you can just ask!
