It's a GIRL!

We went for our big ultrasound last Friday. We decided that we would ask the ultrasound tech to put the picture showing the baby's gender in an envelope and we would decide later if we would open it or not! Well after the events of the day (more on that later) we decided to go ahead and open it... much to our surprise we are having another GIRL! I still can't believe it. I had been thinking all week long if we didn't find out I would go ahead and just buy a few boy things for when "he" got here! So much for mother's intuition!!! Here are the pictures of us opening up our big news!

I am only posting the rest of this so you will join me and Ryan in prayer for our sweet baby. After the ultrasound we were told we would need to wait to see the Dr. because there were a few things he wanted to "go over" with us. Well that def threw up a big red flag, because we were only going for an ultrasound that day. So after nervously waiting for 3 hours... we were called back to see Dr. Max. He told us that the ultrasound showed a cyst in they baby's bladder and that the tube connecting the bladder and kidneys was swollen because things were starting to get "backed up". This could mean that she would have to have surgery to place a stint to redirect fluid right after she is born and will have to be closely monitored throughout the pregnancy. BUT he also told us there is around a 50% chance that she could just grow out of this. We are holding onto that 50% chance! We will go sometime in the upcoming week to see a specialist and have another ultrasound to hopefully give us more details on what is going on. As of now though, she has plenty of fluid around her and is growing right on schedule.

We are confident that God was not shocked by this. We are also confident in God's ability to heal. Wont you join us in prayer for our sweet Riley Anne? It is much appreciated.

This is still such a happy time for us! We feel very blessed to be able to have another sweet baby girl!
