... a BOY!!!!!!!
The Namm curse (or blessing) continues with the umpteenth generation with a first born male. We were secretly hoping for a girl, but we should have known... We are very excited and so happy! Jukes is already collecting sports equipment for him. From all the kicking he's been doing recently, it feels like he'll be quite a soccer player.
Here are pictures from the 20 week ultrasound. After taking care of so many sick babies at Loma Linda, I was worried that our little baby would be anencephalic, with hypoplastic left heart, and spina bifida. When the images came up on the ultrasound monitor, I was relieved to see his little heart had four normal, rapidly beating chambers. His brain appeared normal. His fingers and toes appeared to be all there. And his spine looked good too. The only concern was that the ultrasound showed some echogenic bowel which can be associated with cystic fibrosis or trisomy 21 (Downs syndrome). However, it is also a normal variant in most cases. My OB recommended a consult with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist just to be safe. Needless to say, we've been a little worried. We are hoping for the best and are placing everything in God's hands at this point. There's nothing else we can do but pray.

Our little one staring at the placentaThe past few weeks, our little one has been very active. Jukes was very excited when he felt him kick for the first time. At times it feels like he's doing somersaults in my belly. Sometimes I wish I could see inside to see what he's up to in there.
People keep asking if we have a name yet or if we have started decorating a baby room. The answer is no and no. For the baby room, we just moved to a new place and have been too preoccupied with the echogenic bowel. But hopefully after the consultation with the specialist next week, I'll feel inspired to start nesting. As for the name, my vote is for Jukes Jr. (It's just too good of a name to pass up). But Jukes Sr. isn't too keen on that idea...yet. Let us know if you have any name suggestions. We will carefully consider all submissions...we may even give you a prize! :)

I would totally vote for Jukes Jr. (or at least make that a middle name)! Israel really likes the name Amos...but that totally wouldn't work for us since that would make it Amos RAmos - pronounced Amos "Raymos" and he would surely get made fun of. I like the name Reuben because it means, "Behold a son!". I thought that would be fitting & hilarious if we had another son, but Israel didn't dig that name. I can't give you guys a name that we BOTH really like bc we may have to use it! :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post! Congratulations!! That's so awesome that you're having a boy! Love the announcement picture at the top too;-) Hope all is well with the appts.
