Another BOY!

With this pregnancy, we elected to get the Verifi chromosomal analysis done. This is a non-invasive prenatal screening that draws fetal blood cells out of the mother's blood anytime after 10 weeks. It looks mainly for trisomies (13, 18, and 21 being most common), but another plus is that you can learn much earlier the sex of your offspring-to-be. 

I had my blood drawn at my first OB appointment at 11w4d. I also had an ultrasound, and saw our little guy flipping around and waving. It was just as cool the second time around. 

Last Tuesday, I got the call. Chromosomes are normal (no trisomies), and we are having another boy! 

I am absolutely ecstatic. I love BB so very, very much and I'm thrilled at the prospect of another little boy to love. As we creep out of the first trimester (I'm 13w2d, measuring a full week ahead), this is becoming more and more real. 

Two years ago, I wasn't sure I would ever get the chance to be a parent. Now, I'm mommy to a beautiful, curious, affectionate, and loveable toddler - and I'm expecting his little brother in about six months. How did this even happen?
