It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!! We have been patiently waiting to find out what this precious little baby is going to be!!! After talking with our OB we had decided it would be for the best if we were also followed by a perinatologist through this pregnancy so we could follow the progression and make sure everything was forming correctly. There were unknown obstacles through my pregnancy with Madolyn and we just want to be very cautious this time. We had our 4D ultrasound at Houston Perinatology Center on Friday, Oct. 1st. Dr. Kirshon said everything was forming correctly and was progressing well for the age of the baby. Such a great feeling when there is a constant anxiety that something could be wrong. The 4D image was amazing!!! The picture does not even do the the screened image justice. When you are able to see the movements of this little guy in 4D it makes you feel like you are right there with him!!!! We now know we can rule out any girl names and focus on the boy names. I wish I could really say that in plural but this little guy already has a first name just not set on a middle yet! When Madolyn was born Bobby still did not believe she was going to be a girl until Dr. Gubbels confirmed it in person! She is all girl and then some!!!! We had Jack picked out for a boy name for her and Bobby has not budged a inch from that name for a boy since we found out we were pregnant with Maddy. So "Jack" it is!!! As many of you know that is Bobby's middle name and he was named after his Grandfather that passed away at a very young age. So it is meaningful to be able to carry a family name through history!!!! Stay tuned for a middle name! Apparently I get that job, but it seems to be each middle name I throw out there I get a funny face in return falling very short of a "sold" sign!

Maddy had an eye appointment yesterday that went very well! She still has her crossing while focusing but it is so random due to her movement disorder that Dr. Mazow said he would not operate on even if someone held a gun to his head. Yes, quite dramatic words but we love this Dr. and he is so sweet to Maddy! He also said her farsightedness is gone and she has a slight astigmatism but even if she was 40 years old that he would not put lenses on her! This is such a relief because it would be a fight for her to keep glasses on. She does well with sunglasses but the time she spends on the floor "rooting" and rubbing her face on her blankets and on us she would have problems with glasses. So all-in-all a great day for the Loehr's!

We are so excited to have our addition/modification in progress. It is so much fun to watch the changes and be able to have a vision of the finished product! Living in clutter has become a little bit of a challenge but we are adjusting for the mean time and patiently waiting for the finished product!!!
