Around the 9 week mark we got the official "Graduation" from the fertility clinic. It was great to hear those words but also a little sad knowing that this will be the last baby for our family. We are grateful that this place was able to give us two babies despite all of our struggles. We will still have to make the decision on what we will do with the remainder of our frozen embryos.
We did the Chromosome testing that we had done with Bentley that also checks the Gender at our 12 week appointment. Since I found out I was pregnant I was convinced that I was going to have a girl. The entire process after the embryo transfer was completely different then what it was with Bentley. Some of it was a little concerning but also made me really think we were going to be seeing lots of pink this go around. But, Once I saw that US at our appointment it changed my mind. This baby looked exactly like Bentley at his 12 week appointment. It was so crazy to see how much of the same things the baby was doing compared to how Bentley was. We got all of the test results back that were normal from the scan so that was great news. We decided to do another gender reveal but this go around Johnny and I did not find out ahead of time. We let my mom get the gender results and then we would be surprised along with everyone else that was there. And the results showed we were expecting another little Mister!! We couldn't be more excited. Nevaeh was thrilled to know that she will always be Daddy's only Princess!
We decided to take a family vacation instead of a baby moon this time. So we took a trip to California to visit Disneyland. The kids had a wonderful time. Nevaeh loved Seaworld and of course the beach. It was a great trip but beyond exhausting for Momma. Since coming back it has seemed to be non stop sickness around our house. First it was Johnny and then Nevaeh and I both came down with bad sore throats. Hers turned into Strep and mine was just a virus. I also had to take a trip to the ER because I had severe back pain and the doctors were concerned I had a kidney infection. So I spent 5 hours in the ER. No fun but got out on some antibiotics to cure a UTI that hopefully wouldn't turn into anything worse.
Nevaeh turned 13!! Cannot believe we have a teenager! We celebrated with a party bus, mall scavenger hunt, a sleep over, and brunch with the family. She and her girl friends had lots of fun!
Now we are on the back half of this pregnancy and have LOTS of activites coming up. Bentley's turning 2, numerous camping trips, birthday parties, and our annual trip to Glenwood Springs. Between all of that we have to figure out when we are going to get the nursery ready and pull out all of Bentley's old clothes so I can get those washed and ready for the Littlest Cashmore. Hopefully the summer heat is good to me!
