Well, just as we expected.... It looks like we are having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! I went for my 12 week ultrasound and the tech was pretty positive (took a picture of the proof) that I am carrying a little boy!!!!!!!! We are sooo excited and have the name picked out: Nicholas Anthony(Anthony for my dad). Of course, this cannot be confirmed for another 7 weeks. Hopefully, you won't see a new posting called, "Ooops... My dad's gift is a girl."!!! LOLOLOL

Seriously, I know that this pregnancy is a miracle... And, I also know that my dad can be pretty persitent and plead his case to God of why this should happen. And, I always knew he wanted a grandson. I just knew in my heart it was a boy. I really did!! And, I am sure that he will grow up loving old muscles cars, the New York Giants and will love and respect his family just like my dad.

We are blessed... I thank God every day for this blessing.

Melissa

    Hi Melissa,
    You are
    Hi Melissa,

    You are blessed. There is nothing more joyous than a baby, when that child is wanted so bad.
    Perhaps dad is aware and sharing this great joy with you.

    Wonderful News!
    So happy for you Melissa! As for making sure it's a boy...no test is perfect. My best friend was suppose to have a girl (doctor's were "certain") "she" popped out a "he" and they had to do last minute paint changes and clothing exchanges! LOL.


    As long as you have a healthy baby, that's all that matters! Keep us posted on your progress and you better post a picture when he makes his grand entrance, or I'll be very upset! LOL.

    Blessings,
    Sally

    My last update about my "news" until July....
    I feel funny about sharing my news as sooo many people are suffering and looking for advice. But, I just cannot help sharing with the friends I have made over the last six months and have helped me through my own loss. I promise, no more updates until July when I can post pictures....

    As it turns out, we are having a little GIRL!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL It was confirmed a few weeks ago by the ultrasound tech and doctor. I was sooo convinced that I was having a boy that it was a shocker for me. I had truly felt that God wouldn't take a boy without giving us another and as I said it out loud, I realized that no one could ever replace my dad. So, it is fitting that we are having a little girl. My mom is finally able to smile again and has some big, big plans for the baby! lolol My dad was really into classic cars and last night, my husband and I found a walker / jumper that is shaped like an old pink cadillac convertible!!!! Something my dad would have bought for her for sure. Needless to say, it is on our registry. My daughter will have that convertible and will be told about how her grandpa loved old cars.

    Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read my update. Stay strong and continue to fight until we find a cure for this disease.
