We're back! And We're having a
BOY! I can't believe it! The ultrasound was pretty good, a little fuzzy he said, but the doctor and the genetic counselor both think it's a really good chance that there is nothing wrong. The only marker they saw on the ultrasound was two choroid plexus cysts, which they said since those are fairly common they wouldn't worry too much about it. No other markers were there! We probably would have gone ahead with an amnio, except we found out the placenta is pretty much covering the entire front of my uterus, and that would make it really hard to get the needle in there right now. But in 3 weeks we'll do the other u/s and if we want to we can do the amnio then too.
WHEW! Can I even express how RELIEVED we are? We have two photos
CLICK HERE, and also a videotape and a recording of the heartbeat! We'd never heard it before! And it was 150 beats per minute. YAY! I'm just so relieved and happy! I promise to try to get the recording and at least a snippet of the video on the blog. Surely I can do that with this computer!

Yeah! A baby boy! Well Mom was right after all. This time :). We got our power back around 7 o'clock last night. Jodi and her Dad hooked up the generator around 2 yesterday afternoon. They had to fiddle with it for awhile to get it going, but finally did it. We were able to run our water pump and tv and satelitte box. The weather was so nice by late afternoon. The sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. And it was in the 60's! What a weird day. We found out that a tornado touched down on the street in front of ours and the street behind ours. It hopped right over us. We are so lucky! Well we dont' have internet service yet though. So none of us can check our email. I'm at work today and can't email either. Love you!
