Milestones Passed...and it's a Boy!

I have been so busy moving to another state and beginning a new (wonderful) job that I haven't had time lately to post, but I am happy to report that we passed our big 10 week hurdle for this pregnancy (we never seemed to make it safely out of the 10th week before), followed by the 12 and 14 week milestones, which, I am told, means that the risk of loss goes way down after that point. I doubt I will ever feel totally safe during the pregnancy, but we are ecstatic to get to this point with all looking "perfect" as my doctor says.

Today I am 17 weeks and at our last scan at 14 weeks, we confirmed that we have a little baby boy. :) We took the MaterniT21 test given my age and history, and it was negative for Trisomy 13 (lost our Annabelle to this), Trisomy 18, and 21. All scans have been on target as well, with no concerns so far, and baby consistently measures 1 week ahead. Grow little one, grow!

Here are the latest scans of our little guy:


A profile shot is above....head is on the left, tummy in the middle, legs on the right.

And below is what they call a "potty shot"...looking from behind, legs in the air, and evidence of boyhood:


DH and I are thrilled to be having a boy and it is a huge relief to be into the second trimester. We are beginning to tell the wider world our news. :)

  5. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
