Big Brother

We have a very special announcement. As you can tell from the title, Mason is going to be a big brother! We are all very excited to add another member to our family!

We discovered in August that we were pregnant and I am now 12 weeks along. Our official due date is April 27th. We just had our first early ultrasound on Friday and the baby looks great so far with a strong heartbeat. We have some detailed testing coming up next week and again in 6 weeks.

The recurrance rate for isolated CDH (which is what Mason was born with) is only about 2%. It is usually referred to as a sporatic event, having no known cause as of yet. Even though the risk is low, it will always be in the back of our minds until the baby is born.

When we tell Mason he is going to be a big brother, he smiles :)
