ITS A BOY!


So, whats been going on. Let me see, well alot. On the 3rd of March we went in for our 20 week ultrasound, and we found out that Levi was on his way to us. It was so fund to find out because we had spent all this time trying to figure out how we wanted to spell the name Mackenzi for a girl...which in the long run, was a waste of time (for now). Some day, but not now-were having a sweet little baby boy. During the ultrasound, we saw all his lil' fingers and toes (he has all 20) YAY-and his heart was strong and had all his organs and limbs, but the doctor did find one small thing wrong. He had two tiny white spots in his heart which are generally known as calcium deposits. All my prenatal tests game back fine for diseases and such, but it could still be a marker for something. The doctor seemed to be very unconcerned with it, he said it could be nothing or could be something as minor as a shorter pinky on one hand, or a toe that was spaced out further than the other (that doesnt bother me really at all as long as he's healthy). Still there is always a cause for concern for baby, so Thursday I'm going to a specialist, and I'm nervous, but I have faith baby Levi is just fine. I still ask for prayers from everybody-always could use that. Matthew is still preparing to be new daddy. I watch him everyday reading his books and constantly asking if Levi is kicking. He loves to tickle my belly and get Levi roused up-and he usually awakes! HAHA!-I love him, and I just know he is gonna be a GREAT DAD! He's so excited. I have gained about 16 pounds so far, I know I know, sounds like alot, but the doctor said that was fine. I eat quite healthy actually. Yes i get the occasional craving for fries and chocolate, but its in moderation, never hurt anybody! I actually crave cobblers all the time. Last night I dove into some red raspberry cobbler and practically ate 10 spoonfuls-it was delish. Well Im 21 weeks and four days, almost there...I'm so excited to see what happens in our life with the addition of Levi..I just know its going to be AMAZING.

Ill post about what the doctor says about Levi later this week after the doc.

Be Blessed,
Katie and Matthew
