It's a BOY!!!!

Well my intuition was right...its a BOY!!! im so excited to start buying and decorating now that we know its a Boy! I think Derek was VERY relieved we are having a little boy, and I know deep down thats what he wanted! The tech had just started and I was like "ITS A BOY" I guess i knew because I work in a hospital, see babies more and can tell parts quicker than Derek, because halfway through he was like how do we tell what it is??? The tech had to go back and show him again, but he still wasn't sure what he was looking at. Me...i was crying, and sweating BAD under my arms! I was so HAPPY! They couldn't get very good pictures of the heart, so we go back July 8th for another ultrasound. The physician came in(Dr Weeks partner Dr King) came in and told us that everything looked really good and on target. The only thing that was different was that I have what you call a single umbilical artery, which means instead of 2 vessels and 1 artery i only have 1 vessel and 1 artery. The doctor told me not to worry about because Im already being closely monitored, it just might be a little bit closer now because later on we have to watch growth. Ill be getting ultrasounds now every 4 wks now that we've discovered this. I will also have to get a fetal echo of the heart in about 6-8wks. I knew this was going to be rough but some days I struggle with being high risk, I mean only 1% of the population has the single artery and I end up with it, plus the lupus?! it's tough...happy...worry...happy:) Working where i work is no easier....But today this whole pregnancy journey felt REAL! My mom shrieked when I told her, and for alot of friends and family they got a text message saying BLUE! i got alot of "what?" but i think after asking It's a Boy? they got it! Only 15 days until we are home:)
