20 week checkup

We had our 20 week checkup with the Doctor Wednesday and then with the perinatologist yesterday. We are going to a specialist because we found out a few months ago that Ty and I are both carriers of cystic fibrosis. This means that any child we have has a 25% chance of having it. We are asking for prayers that this little boy will be healthy and CF free! We are trying our best to trust in God no matter what happens. Today we got a detailed ultrasound and the doctor said that everything looks good so far. They can sometimes tell from ultrasound if the baby has it, but they can't rule it out. So it was really good news to hear that so far everything looks great! The doctor said he thinks he will look like Ty. Don't know how I'd feel about being told I resemble a skeletor. But I do think it would be cute if he looked like Ty, which means he would probably look like a boy Lilly! And that would be fine with me.

Ok, it has taken me forever to figure out how to post this sonogram. The file was too big, so I had to record it on my camera in a smaller file size to post it on here. Surely there is a better way. Anyways, the video is about 5 minutes long and a lot of it is hard to tell what it is. But I just think it is so fascinating to see the little guy moving.

  3. The ultrasound is so precious---He will be a dear little boy. And if he looks like Ty or like you, he will be adorable! Our prayers are with him and with you both, as God gets you ready to be parents! Love you, Aunt Mary
