Thanks to all of you for the well wishes. I am very happy about this little guy. I really like having boys and now I am still "Queen of the Castle".   Anne Marie, I know many didn’t know I was pregnant...well I hadn’t really told  many people here at home either. Even though I had been on the message board saying that I would take the dex and that I would have another baby it’s different when you are actually going through it. I wanted to wait and see how I was handling everything before I shared it with everyone.

Well, I must admit that it did hit me a little harder than I thought it would when I got the results back. I was really expecting that this one would be not be affected. I mean I had a 75% chance!  Well,  deep down I know it will work out. Jackson will have a brother to compare notes with and share with. He won’t feel so alone. Self pitty is not a good thing and I think that was the first emotion I felt. I mean double dr. visits, double pills, double...double...   I’m sure some of my pregnancy hormones were kicking in a bit too! I am very glad that I know now and not after the baby is born. I think that by the time I am ready to have the baby, I will be feeling good about it all. I mean Jackson is just the cutest little guy and just one of the boys. My other two boys love him and don’t think of him as having anything different. In fact my oldest son said to me, "Well, if our new brother has what Jaxy has then he will be ok...he just has to take his cortef" It was very touching. I thought if you could look at it that way...I could too!!

Thanks again for all the well wishes and I welcome prayers for a happy, healthy baby.
