IT'S A........

Today's appointment was extremely long and in depth. We met with three different people in three different rooms. We got a lot of helpful information. They did a very detailed ultrasound that lasted about 40 minutes. They measured every inch of the baby's body. Everything looks good, however they are a bit concerned about the baby's heart. They could not get a good look or a good measurement of it, so they will continue to check it closely throughout the pregnancy. My placenta is a bit low, so they will be monitoring that as well.
I will begin a regimen of a high dose of calcium as well as one baby aspirin per day to try to help avoid from developing sever preeclampsia like I did with Braiden. Unfortunately there's no way to prevent it from happening, but we can try to be proactive and catch it before it gets out of control. I will also be going for an extensive panel of blood work next week.
So.... since you all are not interested in all of this, check out the pictures below to find out what it is that we'll be having this go around :-)

Here are baby's little crossed feet... all ten toes were counted :-)

And here's what you all want to know...............

That's right, we're starting our own Dore household football team! Baby # 2 is another active little BOY! They had an extremely difficult time getting good pictures because he, like his brother doesn't seem to want to hold still for one second. I do believe I'm going to have my hands full :-)
