We are having a baby....

Baby Number Two is a..... GIRL!!

Yesterday we had our ultrasound and after ten minutes of trying to see what this baby was, she finally moved her hand and foot and let us see that she was a girl!! Another princess in this house, we are very happy!! Her name is Maylie Rae Marie. Maylie for Dana's maiden name (spelled different) Rae for her Godmother Maddi and her great-great-great grandpa's name and Marie for Jennie's middle name. So she will be spoiled with many names and many different important family members.

Doctor called us and let us know that baby Maylie had a shiny spot on her heart. Believe me when Trav and I heard the news and the word "heart" we were very upset and worried. Doctor reassured us that this is pretty common and happens in about 3-5% of healthy pregnancies and not to worry. But yes we are very worried. We did some research (with help from family) and discovered it is pretty common. Most times the spot goes away by the end of the third trimester or never causes problems. It is probably just a calcium buildup. It is not effecting Maylie's heart at all, her heart looks great and has all four chambers and necessary parts. So we are now waiting for a specialist to review the pictures and see what we need to do next, weather to go get a more in depth ultrasound or more testing or that the spot was a fluke. A small percent of women (usually older women) can have a child with a genetic problem, that is the doctor's main concern when they see the shiny spot. But we had all of our genetic testing done and all the tests came back negative so that is very reassuring for us and our doctor. So thats where we are now, just waiting but trying to remebmer that Maylie is fine and growing well. Already a pound!!

Please keep your thoughts and prayers with our daughter Maylie Rae Marie. Thank you!!
