We Are Having A ...

Sorry for the delay. I had my blog mostly ready to post when Tyler needed me. So, I went to help him. A little later I returned to my computer and the internet had stopped working. We found it wasn't even finding an IP address! A friend of Rodger's will come fix it but he can't until tomorrow. So, I am over at my parents now and will get up the blog the best I can. I had scanned one photograph of the baby but wanted to get some of the other ones too. I will have to add those later. This will have to do for now.

So, The day finally came for our ultrasound. I am 19 weeks now. Everything looked fine in the ultrasound except again, like with Tyler, they found cysts on the brain (Choroid Plexus Cysts). Because everything else looked fine they aren't really worried, but to make sure they will have us come back at the end of July to see if the cysts are still there or if the body absorbed the fluids. They will also look to make sure the baby is still growing properly because if it isn't just "nothing" it can affect the growth of the baby. The main concern it could be, which is very small odds since everything else looked fine is Trisomy 18.... which is bad. Because Tyler had the cyst and everything else looked fine and turned out fine I am not really worried... but it would be awesome if one day I could have an ultrasound that was perfect.... hahahah yea right... as if my life could be that simple.

Oh... sorry... after all that babbling... the answer is "We Are Having A....

Boy!!!!

Yup, just like I thought. I felt since Tyler was one month old that we would have a boy. I remember waking up at the end of a night sleep with a very distinct impression that we would have a boy and his name would be Lincoln. I remember thinking to myself... "Oh... Ok. I just had a baby a month ago but ok. Then I had the same feeling/impression two more times in the weeks following the first dream.

I am so glad he is finally coming since we had the miscarriage. I look forward to meeting him and welcoming him to our family. We are sooooooooo excited. Also, with the lack of income with both of us out of jobs at least we know he will at least have clothes on his back since we had Parker in October and Tyler in February. Oh, Lincoln is due Nov. 11. The ultrasound shows Nov. 7. I hope he comes on Nov. 8. Why? Because I love numbers and Parker was born on Oct. 28, Tyler on Feb. 18. So why not Lincoln on Nov. 8? I also went into the MTC in 1995 on Nov. 8. Hehheheheh... we love numbers when they work out.

Here a one of the pictures of Lincoln. I will get more up once our computer is working at home. Oh, one more thing.... we chose James as the middle name for two reasons. 1. It is my dad's name; and 2. It is Rodger's brothers name and Tyler and Lincoln's cousins name. We wanted to have at least one of the two names of our children be family history related.... so there it is Lincoln James Shumaker will join our family in November!!!!!
