Alright everyone... Well, Tuesday the 19th we found out that we're having a BOY! I guess Shane was right, huh? Haha. His name is going to be Braxten Andrew and we're SO excited for him to get here. Originally, my ultrasound was scheduled in September, but was moved up due to an abnormal AFP(Alpha Fetal Protein) test. The test came back positive for a type of Open Neuro Tube Defect which is most commonly Spina Bifida, so the doctor wanted to check things out to make sure everything looked good. Well everything looked good with his spine and every other part of his little body, but just like his big sis, he's got too much fluid in his brain... So we went to the Perinatologist this last Friday to get a closer look at things. As of now, Braxten is seeming to be on the more "mild" end of hydrocephalus, but it looks like it's still there! We're just praying that he's ok. Not necessarily that it goes away because we know Heavenly Father does what he needs to do with his babies, but we're just praying that he'll be happy and healthy. We're just excited to have him be a part of our little family! Our next ultrasound will be October 3rd, so we've still got a little ways to go! Shane always lightens the mood and said, "I think I'm really starting to like babies with big heads!" He always knows how to make the situation better. We miss him!! Well e-mail me if you have any questions! I'm going to try and get a somewhat decent picture of the little guy on here from his ultrasound pics... Love you all!
