This is Logan and his friend Gabrielle playing with Logan's fire engine.
As you can see, Gabrielle is a bit of a dare devil..Logan can't even get up on it to sit down by himself and she is standing on it with no hands!!!
Crazy hair day! He fell asleep with his hair flat and this is how it looked when he woke up! He obviously doesn't mind, seeing that he is happy as a clam with his arms up!
This is our front yard from the last crazy storm that came through. That puddle went up to Scott's ankles!
Here is Logan running down the hall because he sees his new fish tank.
Well we found out yesterday that we are having another baby BOY! I am sure that Logan and the new little one will be terrors together since they will only be 18 months apart but we are excited to have two little guys around.
The ultrasound went pretty good. We saw him sucking his thumb, quite well may I add and Scott said that Logan MUST have taught him that one! He was wiggling his legs like crazy and moving around well.
There was one abnormality. The doctor saw a small white spot on his heart. This is called a Echogenic intracardiac focus (EIF). Here is a little bit about and (EIF)...."This is thought to represent mineralization, or small deposits of calcium, in the muscle of the heart. EIFs are found in about 3-5% of normal pregnancies and cause no health problems.
Researchers have noted an association between an EIF and a chromosome problem in the baby.
Types of chromosome problems that are occasionally seen include Trisomy 18 or Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). In the case of an isolated EIF, and no other ultrasound findings, some studies show that the risk for a chromosome abnormality is approximately two times a woman’s background risk. Other studies report up to a 1% risk for Down syndrome when an EIF is seen on a second trimester fetal ultrasound exam."
So all and all we have a small risk of having a little boy with Down Syndrome. We hope of course that this is not the case but if it is the case we are not scared. I truly believe that those children are amazing. They are always SO happy and seem delightful. Of course there would be trials that go along with having DS but how will we ever grow in this life if we never having anything pushing us?!
Now it is just a waiting game. We won't know anything else until we see the little guys face! I could have more testing done but to me there is no reason. He either has it or he doesn't. If he has it I will love him the same as I do Logan and I will take him home the same as I did Logan, hopefully!!!
