It's a Boy!

On September 24th, we found out we are having a boy-yay! We were both thrilled to hear the news. As tears of joy rolled down my cheek, Rob was giving me the high five! What a great moment! We also found out the there is a slight abnormality with the umbilical cord. Typically, the umbilical cord has 3 vessels; one to carry nutrients in and two to carry waste away. Baby Cerm's cord only has 2 vessels. According to the Doctor, this happens in about 1% of pregnancies. Potential problems might include a smaller baby and heart and/or kidney problems. The doctor did a thorough analysis of the baby's heart and kidneys and found no problems. Baby Cerm's measurements all look good. Phew!

Here's an update on my baby bump:
