It's meant to be ... Baby May #3 is a ...

I'm so lucky!!!

Justin's Aunt Rae is a Sonographer (Ultrasound Tech) in Rupert/Burley so we made a fun little road trip a few weeks ago (4 weeks ago today to be exact) to find out how our newest little addition was growing ... And of course find out if we were going to learn a whole new world of "girl" or stay in our comfort zone of "boy"!!!

WHAT'S YOUR VOTE????

(Blue or Pink???)

It's amazing where technology is these days :) Aunt Rae got a new machine just a week before we were there and the intense detail is amazing!!!

Above is the profile of our little ....

Precious already and we haven't even met him/her!!!



And here's the foot ... just to show how detailed it is!!! You can see all 5 of the precious little toes and we got to see one hand too <3

We even got to see the lense of the eye - I'll have to admit it was a little creepy but all in the same reminds us what a miracle we have!!!

Ok have I built up the suspense ;-)

Our "meant to be" Baby May #3 is a .......

BOY!!!!!!

We truly are feeling so incredibly blessed!!! I'm such a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason" and here another blessing given to us to show us that someone "bigger" is in charge!

Baby Boy May #3 is going to be:

Ayden {still in discussion} May

hehe :)

Oh my ...

... YIKES ...

You can only imagine the SHOCK & EMOTION that went along with what we were soon to find out on January 28th, 2012 ...

It was suppose to be an amazing day for a SiStEr DaTe - just me & Ker ... lunch ... shopping & a movie :) It was an AMAZING day but my emotions were running high and I had to pick up something special at the store .... Keri couldn't believe it but I just had to KNOW!!!

We made a quick trip by Keri's house and that is where I found out ...

That is where I got the ....

POSITIVE pregnancy test ...

OMG ... baby may #3 is on it's way LOL

Keri got the honors of looking at the test and she came out of the bathroom giggling and shaking and said "I'M GOING TO HAVE A NIECE" lmao {no we don't know that quite yet lol}

As I've already said this was quite a shock ...

After 3 pregnancies on fertility medicine & 2 oh so healthy boys it came as quite a surprise to find out baby may #3 was on it's way after only 1 short month of .... birth control lol

So here I present to you:

BABY MAY #3

^The measurements in this ultrasound were 7weeks4days which made my due date 9/15/12

(yep thats right ... exactly 1 week before Jensyn Gunnar turns 1 aaaaaaaahhhhhh)
^this is the ultrasound my Dr performed and our sweet baby is a little bigger and measured exactly 12weeks which bumps our due date up to 9/10/12 ...
(yep you can do the math ... 12 days before baby j turns 1 eek!!!)

After LOTS of tears and lots of giggling and continued stress of omg baby #3 we have now let it out of the bag and told everyone that we're expecting. Yesterday marked day #1 of our 2nd trimester and so far so good :)

Kystin Dean is *3*

JENSYN'S BIRTH STORY:

As most of you know our newest addition was due October 9th, 2011 and made a surprise and very welcomed appearance 3 weeks early! I had my 37 week check up on Monday and the Dr said "we're going to have a baby this week" ... I was super excited and so ready!!! Then Wednesday rolled around and nothing, I didn't feel any different, my braxton hicks contractions had stopped since my appointment so I just "knew" that Baby J wasn't going to be here that week ... yep I was wrong!!! LOL

Wednesday night I went home and we did our usual thing ... got home, played with Kyst, watched TV, had dinner (yada ... yada ... yada) At about 10pm I was still feeling fine but knew something was up ... then I realized my water was leaking and shortly after finally broke (nobody told me it was like a leaky faucet lol) ... I wasn't having any contracts and my water didn't break with Kystin so I had no idea what to do. I called the Dr office and spoke with a gentlemen at the answering service, Dr Julie called back about 10 minutes later and I let her know what was going on and she said for sure my water had broke. I let her know that I wasn't having any contractions so she said they "should" start up in about an hour or 2 but "IF" they don't then make sure we go to the hospital by 4am ... The adrenaline hit - I was running around like a crazy person, packing everything, getting the carseat ready, calling everyone under the sun lol ... Finally I decided I needed to relax (how in the world do you relax after your water just broke???) So Kystin went to bed with us and him & Justin were out like a light, I set the alarm for 3am so we could bring Kystin to my brother & sister in laws house "IF" my contractions didn't start up. I dozed off at 2am and wouldn't you know my alarm went off at 3am and still NO contractions. So we got Kyst loaded up in the truck and headed to my brothers. At this point I'm thinking "WHAT IF ... my water didn't break???" Justin reassured me LOL We got Kyst dropped off and headed straight to the hospital ...

When we got there they knew we were coming as Dr Julie gave them a heads up ... The nurse was super nice and brought us straight to a room, checked me and assured me my water had broke but I was still only dialated to a 3 (which is what I was at on Monday) ... she let the Dr know and started me on Pitocin. At this point it was about 4:30am and we all assumed it was going to be a long day ... I assured everyone that it was going to be a while and to take their time :)

I slowly started progressing and the nurse was coming in about every 15-20 minutes asking if I was ready for my epidural, I let her know that I didn't want it until I couldn't handle the contractions and at that point if it was to late that was ok ... She was a persistant little thing and at 7ish I finally said "fine go ahead" but my contractions were still tolerable I just didn't want to be in labor all day long and let myself get to exhausted ... The anesthesiologist came in and did what he had to do and out the door he went. I immediately started feeling "pressure" and told the nurse, she checked me and I was at a 5 ... about 5 minutes later I let her know that the pressure was pretty bad (it's about 7:45) so she checked me and I was at a 6 ... she turned around to go out of the room and I told her something isn't right so she called the Dr who had her check me again (it's been about 2 minutes) and voila I was at a 10 and Baby J had crowned ... I was soooooooo ready to push, I didn't know what that was like with Kystin but I definitely knew that I had to push LOL The nurse laid me flat on my back and said "DON'T PUSH we're waiting for the Dr" ... WHAT???? How in the world do I "NOT PUSH"???? The pressure got worse ... and worse ... the pain was getting worse ... the pressure was getting worse ... and finally here came the Dr (only 17 minutes later -- yep 17 minutes of needing to push, I was ready for the nurse to deliver that baby!!!) She threw on gloves and ran over and jumped on the bed ... I had the pleasure of pushing 3 times and there he was :) Our perfect little baby boy with 10 fingers and 10 toes but quiet as can be just looking around & shoving his thumb in his mouth ...

9.22.11 @ 8:13am

6lbs 6oz 18inches long

Baby J had a bit of a rough start ... he was breathing way to fast, his oxygen levels were way to low, his blood sugar was way to low so they whisked him off to the nursery :( At this point my epidural finally started working so I couldn't walk, they wanted the medicine to wear off a little bit before I could go see baby J but they would only let me out of bed for 30 minutes. I finally got to go to the nursery and hold his little hand ... They had him on an IV and under an oxygen hood :-( Daddy got to stay with him the whole time and finally at about 1pm he got to come back to the room where I could snuggle with him all that I wanted!!!

Such a precious boy he is :) Around midnight everything was starting to regulate and around 6am the next day they were able to take him off of his IV's and oxygen monitor!

We even got to bring baby J home the afternoon of the 23rd :)

I want to thank everyone for all of their kind words and congratulations! Especially our family that was able to be there with us for the birth of our sweet baby J and those that were able to come up to the hospital to see him in his 1st days :) Also, a huge thanks to my sister in law for watching our Kyky and bringing him up to the hospital to meet his brand new baby brother!!!
