Baby Update!

We are a happy 20 weeks and 4 days here at the Kauflin Casa! Baby BOY #3 is doing so well, kicking and swimming around quite happily in my tummy. We had our big ultrasound a week ago and to our great surprise, we found another healthy little boy squirming around like crazy. The sonographer was "chasing" after him to get the shots she needed. So, all the little flutters I had been feeling for a few weeks, look like they are heading up to be some big ones not too far from now, if he keeps up all that moving around!

He weighed around 11 oz and was right on the due date from my 8 week sono. I was never sure what my exact due date was, because the due date according to my LMP and the 8 week sono were not the same. So we were waiting until the 20 week to get a confirmation of the due date. So now, it is officially November 29th. A week exactly after Jack's birthday!

So far, in the world of pregnancy, things are pretty much textbook. All the aches and pains and funny things the books talk about, seem to be happening! Sleeping on my back is a thing of the past, and how I miss those nights! We have both been able to feel little buddy from the outside now! I have been able to keep the weight gain down to 8 lbs, and as much as I wish it were a little less, those Coke slurpees have been too good to resist, and so I blame myself entirely! So I have finally crosssed over from just looking fat, to actually looking pregnant!

Here are some sono's of our boy. In case anyone wanted proof that he was a boy, I included the pictures of his "parts", which he was NOT bashfull of showing at all!

Diagnosis and Grace

Friends- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm46:1 Much has happened since I last wrote only 2 short days ago. We found out much later that night a new diagnosis, that our sweet boy has leukemia . We were not completely shocked but we were certainly shaken. After I posted about what was going on at Shady Grove, and we waited a bit more for some results, and we were informed that we needed to take Jack to Children's Hospital in DC for further testing with specialists. This raised our concern level quite high as you can imagine, that even with a snow storm coming, we were needing to make this trip. I began to google the combination of things they had found in the tests done on our little boy (swollen spleen, low platelet count , swollen lymph nodes) and came up options that were NOT Lyme disease, although a few of these symptoms did also look like Lyme. As a result of the google quest, I came across some concerning outcomes, one of the most

Just too funny

I had to share this funny moment with Tyler. I guess I will always be a cheerleader at heart- so I was cooking dinner and decided to do a little "cheer" of Tyler's name for him to see what he would do.... and he just laughed so hard- it was on the verge of crying! See the little video below!

.Results and Re-Admission.

I am so happy to share that the results from the bone marrow biopsy came back with the results we had hoped and prayed for! They said they found less than 0.1% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow!!! So this is such great news! The prognosis is a good one, and now we get to keep marching on into the next 3 years of making sure the Leukemia does not come back and he is fully in remission! Thank you all so much for all the prayers said on our behalf! I also have the happy report of how last night and this morning went as well... So last night, we woke Jack up at 11:30 to feed him one last time before midnight. He was so sweet and groggy but ate a bunch of nuggets and french fries. We gave him a bottle and put him in bed at midnight and hoped for the best... well, he did not wake up again until 4:45... which was AMAZING for us and him! That was a long stretch for the little guy! After that he cried for a while and Jordan tried distracting him with books and holding him for a while. Jordan w
