It's A BOY!!!!



We're having a baby boy!!!!

We are over the moon and thrilled beyond words. We are just so excited!

We had an ultrasound today and immediately, our sweet baby boy made it very apparent that he is, indeed, a boy. And I know that Madison was quite active, but this little guy was literally bouncing off the walls. Per today's ultrasound, he was very healthy - heart, brain, spine, organs. He weighs 10 oz, is measuring 5 days ahead of schedule, and is most likely about 5 1/2 inches long. The cervix has lengthened! Great news! Which means I was on my best behavior... :) I'll go back to the dr in 2 wks for another fetal fibro. test to look for any signs of preterm labor again. Then we'll have another ultrasound with the specialist in Houston on Sept 19.

Our son's name will be Hunter, after Mark's Dad, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather. We're not 100% set on the middle name yet.
