Well, the cat is out of the bag! We have another boy on our hands!!! Don't ask about a name, because we can't agree. The baby shall remain nameless for now. We are so excited for Jax to have a baby BROTHER! 

My co-workers were kind enough to throw a party for me to announce the gender, it was so thoughtful and I really enjoyed it. My momma made the adorable cake of course, and everyone brought yummy food! 

That is all a pregnant lady needs after all, correct? Cake and food. 

And pictures of my mothers lovely cake! 

Specialist

We had a meeting with the specialist today for babies SUA. Overall the redid my anatomy scan to confirm everything looked normal, which it did (other then the SUA of course). Baby was facing my back, which made it hard to get good images.. BUT we did get to see baby in 3-D this time, which was nice. 

The specialist again explained what SUA was, and went over how they plan to monitor the baby from here on out.. They explained that if the baby does not grow as they would like, I would likely be put on best rest and put on a high protein diet. Luckily for me, all I eat these days in egg sandwiches and bean burritos! 

Anatomy Scan

We had our anatomy scan yesterday, and overall baby looks healthy!! The baby has Single Umbilical Artery, which means that instead of 1 vein and 2 arteries, our baby only has one. The doctor explained that from this point forward, I will meet with a specialist every 4 weeks to have another ultrasound and track growth. We scheduled a visit for this coming Monday, so in the meantime I had to do some research to see what we could be dealing with..

I never recommend googling, I learned this when I was pregnant with Jax.. but I proceeded with caution. I was able to learn that SUA effect an average of 1 in 500 pregnancies.. of the babies diagnosed with SUA, 75% are born perfectly healthy. I like those odds. Babies who do have further complications usually stem from other abnormalities found on in the anatomy scan, such a chromosomal defects or heart complications. 

Although healthy, babies with SUA can be born small, hence the reason I will need to be monitored from this point forward. 

Overall, I am happy with the news we received.. overall we have a very healthy baby! And we confirmed gender!! I will announce soon ;)
