Unexpected surprise

It's not a girl! It's a BOY!!! 

Our hearts are exploding with joy all over again! And shock! And excitement!

Starting from the beginning... due to A being over 40 and high risk... we made to choice to do genetic testing early for both of our pregnancies.  This was more so for preparedness than anything else. At 11 weeks, we had blood work done and within a couple of weeks were told everything looked normal and that we were having a little girl. Knowing these tests were 99.7%  accurate we announced to the world that we were "tickled pink". 

Imagine our surprise when a bit over two weeks ago we went in for an anatomy scan only to find little boy parts on the ultrasound.  At first they didn't want to go against the blood work but then tons of concerns started coming up...  So we decided to do another round of genetic testing to verify. 

Our genetic counselor called us this week and we are very thankful to announce that all the tests came back normal and that we are having a little BOY.
This little guy is also showing a kidney issue like Dillion had in utero. We are praying it resolves before birth as it did in D. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers!
