Finally, heart happy

As many of you know, we are expecting our "rainbow" baby sometime in the next few months. We're hoping that this little one stays put a lot longer than their big brother and that labor, delivery and everything after that is complication-free.

Yesterday we had our first fetal echo of the baby's heart - and at this point, things look very promising. No glaring issues to be seen, but the heart is so tiny at this point that there is no way to see everything. So we head back in April for one final echo before the baby is born. Of course, we'll be having another echo done on the baby's heart after birth - just to rule out every possible CHD out there.

Our journey has been a mixed blessing. We are happy for our new bundle of joy while we continue to mourn the loss of our son that is still so fresh in our minds and hearts.

Thank you everyone for the continued love and support. It has helped us so much and we are thankful for dear friends and family.
