Baby Boy!

We had an early ultrasound because of a positive blood test for Spina Bifida. That is a condition where the spinal column or it encasing tissues do not form properly. We were a little worried and didn't tell anyone that was the purpose of our ultrasound (other than Carson's work so he could get it off). The ultrasound came and we found out that we had a false positive w/ the blood test! They physician also went over every body part in detail to assure us/him that there were no developmental problems of any kind. That was very reassuring and comforting. It also showed us that we were to have another boy. Carson had his hopes up that it would be a girl, but Marisa didn't want to so that she wouldn't be disappointed. Needless to say, Carson was more sad to not have his daddy's girl, but we were both overjoyed to know that the baby was so healthy. Here is a 3D picture from the ultrasound. The baby is only 16 weeks old (18 gestational) so it is still very skinny. It will be fun to see if it is more like Trey or Beckham since our two boys are at both ends of our genetic spectrum :)

Congrats on the clean bill of health. Those things are always a worry. As long as the baby is healthy you really can't be too dissappointed about the sex of the baby. Those are awesome ultrasound pics!!
