Update

I feel like today couldn't come any quicker.....it just dragged and dragged and dragged. Thankfully I have had family and friends here to keep me busy. I have totally been blessed with family who fasted on Sunday for us, and I can't even express the gratitude for that, and the prayers that were said on our behalf. I have felt so much comfort (up until this morning at about 5:30 when I woke up and couldn't sleep). I seriously have felt such peace and I know it is from the prayers from all of you. THANK YOU!

Now, the update is great news!! I will just start off with that. The perinatologist brought out the "big guns" and by that I only mean the 3D ultrasound thing. They couldn't find any sign of a cleft lip. Then they did an extensive look at the heart, and said everything looked beautiful. I am so relieved, and at the same time realize how many people have to go through this, and might not end up with good news like we did. The Perinatologist said she has had a a lot of cleft lips this week, so jokingly I said "maybe it is the same girl sending them over to you..." she laughed, and said, "no, but all the other ones really were cleft lips". It made me stop and realize how lucky we are to already have 3 VERY HEALTHY children. The only thing they really found today for us was my placenta is pretty low, but it is okay at this point cause everything usually moves, but if it doesn't move, worst case scenario...c section. They did see a little spot in the left ventricle of the heart, but said it really is probably nothing.

I thought I would share just a couple pics today again...the 3D one is a little weird, so watch out. Thanks again all of you for your support and love. I have the best family and friends in the world! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Baby

Lots of things are going on in my mind right now so I had to jot them down. First of all we had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday, and found out we are having.....(well we kind of already knew, but it was reaffirmed) BOY!!! If you can't tell by the picture...I thought this was the only time I could put a picture of a naked boy on my blog....just kidding. Joe was super excited, and I am too, but Joe really wanted a boy. While we were there, our ultrasound lady was super quiet, and kept going back to the heart, and back to the face, but she wouldn't tell us anything. I was so mad, she had to take us over to the doctors office and have a different nurse tell us that there may be something wrong with our little guys heart. They also said there is a possible cleft lip. I have to go in for an ultrasound with a pereonatologist at the hopital on Wednesday.

Here are my thoughts on both....

Cleft lip. My first thought was, sad, but that is okay, we can fix it, no long term effects...then the doctor said I probably wouldn't be able to nurse....then I cried....and cried a little more.

Heart. Obviously I was thinking of the worst possible scenario. (my brain works that way for some reason) The doctor calmed me down a little and said we are so lucky to be where we are (near Salt Lake and Primary Childrens) cause it is one of the best. He said that IF there is the problem that they "might" see (something about the out track of the right ventricle isn't going out???) then we would have to deliver at primary childrens and they would take the baby right away into surgery, or something like that, and hope for the best. Now my mind hasn't been able to stop. I just keep praying and crying. I know everything will turn out the way that it is supposed to, because that is the way the Lord works, but it is still hard. Maybe his way isn't the way I want it. I am a little selfish that way.

Well, Wednesday we will have most of our questions answered. In the mean time if you would keep us in your prayers, it would be greatly appreciated. I am so glad I have great friends and family! Thanks for everything, and I will re-post on wed.

By the way, we (and when I say we I mean Joe) is pretty sure our little guy is named Heber!

Funny stuff.

So this is a pretty random post, especially since I haven't blogged in so long...I know story of my life. Well, this morning, I was leaving a comment on a friends blog, and you know how it has the "secret word" that you are supposed to type in before you leave a comment? Well, usually they don't make sense at all, but today I had to laugh as I was typing it in....it was bonefart....what the heck is up with that? What kind of a "secret word" is that, besides the type to make you giggle all on your own, cause no one is there to share it with you. I know a little childish, but admit, you would have giggled too.

Other than that, I have not found my camera yet, and our video camera ran out of battery power on Jack's birthday and we can't find the charger, so we have NOTHING. Sadness. Nothing else really going on in our lives, just the same old.
