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

BOY!!!!

The first thing the ultrasound tech noticed was....we are blessed to be expecting a boy! Heartrate (135 bpm) was great, diaphram seems to be intact, all 4 chambers of the heart were seen and the brain looks fine. He - who we are naming Gray- had his hands above his head the whole time as if to say, "Hey! Look at me! I'm not a girl!". Anyway, other than Travis feeling absolutely horrible, we are all fine. My next doctor's appointment is the "big one" with Dr. Gonzalez, the maternal fetal medicine doctor, on May 14th. Please continue to keep us, especially Gray (no middle name decided yet), in your prayers that he will be "diagnosed" as a healthy, normal baby boy.



Thanks so much for all of your prayers! Oh yeah, please pray Travis feels better very soon. He's going back to the doctor this afternoon. He feels so horrible that I don't even think he has the energy to be excited about expecting a little hunter. However, he is the best husband in the entire world! He went to my appointment with me even though he just wants to be at home in the bed. In fact, when Dr. Stradtman walked into the room, she looked at me and said, "You sound terrible. I could hear you coughing all the way down the hall." I just pointed to Travis because, unfortunately, he was the trooper making all the noise.



If I can get my CDH friend, Christy, to help me load the ultrasound pictures (wink! wink!), then those will be posted soon.



Love y'all,
