I have been very nervous to go but I am getting excited to take a break and spend some time with James. More importantly, I am happy that Rachel will be able to take a break for a week, hang out with Grammy and Aunt Britt, and go to preschool! (She has missed the last few times!) She has been so brave. She even watched while they put in her IV and she held perfectly still during the testing. A big thanks to my Mom who stood in for me since I couldn't go into the tests because of the pregnancy. That brings me to my next topic . . . the baby. We had our Ultrasound this afternoon and we will be welcoming another baby . . .
GIRL!!!! We are so excited! James and I were talking the other day about what we thought we were having and James brought up that since Rachel wanted a girl, that is probably what we are going to have because usually, around here, what Rachel wants, Rachel gets. (She is the little queen around here and unfortunately is a little spoiled. I have a feeling it will only get worse with all of these new developments!) We really are excited to have a baby girl but I feel bad for my little boy! He really could have used a brother! So, the Carter's will be taking a little break and when we get home we will do more tests and surgery! Phew! Have a great week!
Ok first of all...I am sooo excited you are also having a girl!!! Adam is really out numbered now! Second of all thank goodness the test are all coming back with excellent news! And last but not least I am so glad you have decided to take your much needed vacation. Have fun and take lots of pictures!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah!!! What a relief! I know we are not out of the woods yet, blah, blah, blah... but WOW! What a blessing! I am beyond happy for you. And a girl! Your family growing up had 3 girls and a boy, right? Mine did too! It's awesome! Adam will get lots of tips on how to treat girls :). Have so much fun in Hawaii - you so deserve a piece of paradise!
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!!! We are SOOOOOO thrilled for the clear CT results! and super huge congrats on having another girl!!!! Have fun on your vacation!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so happy for you & your family. That is such a relief. Congrats on having another girl. I'd be happy w/ all girls as long as I have 1 boy for Luke. Have fun on your vacation w/ your hubby. You surely deserve this.
