It's been a while since we posted. It's been a long road so far. In July we found out that we are having a boy (Nicholas Andrew is his name if you are wondering). We also found out that our little bundle of joy was having a little trouble. It turns out that he had fluid on his heart which was really scary for us, not being able to do anything about it. The fluid was just a symptom of the anemia he had. I think they have tested for everything under the sun (down's syndrome, rh sensitivity, fifth disease, etc.), but so far everything has been negative. We still do not know what caused the anemia. The doc said we may never know. Nicholas has had two blood transfusions, which so far have been beneficial. We have to make a trip to Presbyterian every week to have an ultrasound to make sure he is not becoming anemic again, in which case he would have to be transfused again. We hope he is 'cured' and will be able to keep growing strong. At last check he weighed 2.5 lbs and is kicking like a kung fu master!
Our nursery is almost complete, and we can barely wait for Nicholas' arrival. Tyler is very excited to be the big brother and loves to measure me by standing behind me and reaching around. He can no longer touch his fingers together!!
