5 year old Birthday Party, Anatomy Ultrasound and Gender Reveal!!

Cassie's 5th Birthday

Saturday we had her party, a pony party which she requested.   Matt took her out for a while so I could decorate and the babies were napping.    My Dad and Mom came over early and helped blow up every single balloon I had.  They were everywhere.....Cassie loved it.  The look on her face when she walked in the door was one of awe.

 We also revealed the gender of baby #4.  Matt and I knew but didn't tell anyone else.  Cassie was to open this gift last to find out if she was having a baby sister or baby brother.

Just up from a nap
 Mandy and Emily woke from their nap at 1:30, shortly when everyone got to the party.  They did surprisingly well.   I was actually able to enjoy myself!  They let others hold them and didn't cry for me constantly like they did at their 1 year old birthday party.

Were having a BOY!!!!!!!

My Mom and Matts Mom cried








It was a fun day!  On Sunday was her actual birthday.   We took my Dad to the airport, as he was flying to California to visit my brother and took Cassie to Red Robin for a birthday lunch.   At the end she got a sundae and the waiters and waitresses sang her Happy Birthday.

Ultrasound

Last Tuesday we had our anatomy ultrasound.    I was 18 weeks.   Everything measured right on the money for 18 weeks.  I remember with the twins they were always a week behind in measurements.   Heart rate was 149.  Everything with this baby looks good.  And like I said were having a BOY!   When the tech told us I squealed and clapped my hands.  Matt high fived me.   I am so excited to have a son.  I never thought it would be possible since we never planned on doing IVF again but God had other plans!! 

I do have placenta previa.....AGAIN.  I had this with the twins as well.   I think with the twins it was a partial previa, with his pregnancy I believe its a complete previa.  However, when the perinatologist sat down to look at it she immediately said she thought it would move and I wouldn't need a C-section.  She then went on to show me why she thought it would move.  I go back in 8 weeks to have it re-checked....keeping my fingers crossed that it moves because I DO NOT want a C-section!!

  1. Love the pic of your precious baby boy - so cute!! Bet you can't wait to see and smooch his little face in person:) Congrats on having a boy! Boys (and girls;)) are such a joy..they are so sweet with their Mama's. I can never get enough of my son's constant affection. I'm sure your girls will thoroughly enjoy having a little brother. Glad Cassie's birthday was a success, as well - looked like a great day!

  2. Yay! Congrats on the boy! You will hear over and over that boys are so much different than girls. They are. It's true! I have two girls and then a boy. What a blessing to be having baby number 4! I have to admit, I went quickly through the birthday pics to see the gender reveal first. Such a tease ;-)
