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...

.coming home.

Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since...

at the hospital

I have long been meaning to update about the health of our family, but as you will read, we have not had much time for the blog. As I write, I am sitting in the Pediatric Emergency Room, waiting for Jack to return from getting a sonogram done on his abdomen. For the past month, he has been pretty sick, with ear infections, and various other ailments. The issues became pressing, when we noticed his glands in his groin area swollen and he was limping. This quickly escalated to where he could no longer walk at all. We took him for blood work, and they found that he had gotten Lyme Disease. We thought we had caught it in the early stages, and so the Dr. began a cycle of amoxicillin . That was 3 weeks ago. His glands all over his body have continued to swell, and he has been pretty much miserable. So here we are today, to see if this is all Lyme Disease, or if something else is causing all of this. He has been a trooper and has put up with a lot of poking and prodding. We are so aware of ou...
