My new doctor here in Scottsdale sent me to a neonatologist for a complete and detailed ultrasound last week and we finally got the confirmation on the sex of the baby that we had been feeling all along.
This was my fourth ultrasound in three weeks and 4 previous people had said they thought this baby was a girl. Now nothing against girls, but I have had the strongest feeling ever since I was pregnant with Taite that there was one more boy waiting to be added to our family. I've had these thoughts and feelings with me for over 2 years now, so to have someone repeatedly tell you the opposite takes a minute for your head to wrap around the whole situation. I was never able to accept what the doctor, nurse, or technician was telling me because it never felt right.
The appointment with the neonatologist was pretty long and they were checking lots of other things, before she finally asked us if we wanted to know the sex of the baby. We said yes, of course and she let us know that it was a boy. Riley gasped and I thought she was joking, but after several repeat checks he was still a boy. The one thing I noticed about this appointment that was different for me was how calm I was. You would think having to be sent to a specialist in light of all the complications I had been having I would have been a little nervous, but I was completely calm the entire time. I had Riley and the boys there with me and it was a wonderful experience to learn and know together the future of our family.
The other wonderful news it that everything looks great with the baby and me! My placenta has moved and is now 2 cm away from my cervix. Amazing! The masses that they weren't sure what they were are either cysts or fibroids, both very common with repeat pregnancies.

Great news! Congratulations on another boy! Of course, a mother's intuition always wins out!
Oh another cute little boy! You are going to be the go to mom for any boy questions!
Yay! A boy! How exciting, don't you just love having boys? I would love to decorate a little girl, but I must admit that boys are way more fun than I imagined a girl would be. Who would have thought that tonka trucks and legos could be so fascinating! Congrats, congrats! We had better get on it if we are going to have a cousin anywhere near the same time as yours. they will still be bff even if they are a couple of years apart right?
How are you feeling? I was so relieved to read that things seem to be on the up and up for both you and the little man. Good luck, we love you guys!
So glad everything is ok with both of you. Yay for more boys!
Congrats! Yay that you'll have three in a row!
Another boy to add to the collection! It is really starting to accumulate! We hear you have a great name too! Congrats! Can't wait to see his cuteness (without the nuditiy :) )
Congrats! I had the same thing happen with macie and the placenta...2 weeks before I had her it moved out of the way so that was good! I am excited for you guys...cant wait to see pics
