I wish that the majority of you were correct in our little poll...nope. It's a boy! I desperately wanted another girl but that's life right? We, of course, will be happy with a third baby boy!! We are going to a specialist next week to make sure that we don't have another 2 vessel umbilical cord (Isaac had one and it didn't amount to anything for him, he has always been healthy). They just like to check because many in the medical field believe that it's a sign of other problems. The other half of the field believes it means nothing more than a lower birth weight. Isaac was only 7lbs 14oz. Yes, I say only because he was my smallest baby by almost a pound and a half. Anyway, he seems to be doing well, moving a lot. He has swollen kidneys but apparently that's not something they really worry about as long as there is enough fluid in the placenta-which there is at this point. It does mean that we will have more ultrasounds. There always seems to be something with these babies of ours and we get like a dozen chances to see our little one before they join us for real. That's nice, even more nice is that despite the precautions, we have always had healthy babies at birth, we are hoping that our luck holds up!!

Yay! Congratulations! That is exciting news! Maybe you will just need to try for a 5th, for another girl! :) just kidding. Hope things go well with your pregnancy! :)
I can only wonder what it would be like to have 3 boys... I'm not sure I'm going to stick it out long enough to ever find out!! And I guess I can't say this from experience, but I'm guessing that boys are nice too? ANd that maybe having 3 boys is "kind of" like having 3 girls.... maybe?
I hate ultrasounds. Well, I hate the the whole medical profession has got people scared into all this stuff, and I think it's all jsut a scam to make more money. Of course when pregnant with Tristan I wouldn't have cared how many u/s I needed, they were all covered, but the second I have to pay $150 each... I start to question the actual neccessity of each of them. They aren't happy with me right now, the doc nor the specialist --whatever!
Congrats on the news, can't wait to see you guys next week!
We're excited for another boy! And I LOVED having lots of ultrasounds. Can't wait until august to see you all!
Yeah, another boy. Congrats! We miss you guys. Good luck!
Hey Balsmeier's! We are so excited for you. We just had our third little boy and boys are wonderful! Bytheway, we named our boy Jake. Yes, I think we like to steal your boy names. If you like the name Will for this new little guy, go for it! Ha ha! Take care!
