And then it began

Hi little one,
I'm still gonna call you that for a little while longer. Your dad and I haven't officially decided on a name, although we do know your gender now. You're a beautiful baby boy! We found out today (Aug 1). We also got some slightly discouraging news. We found out you have dilated kidneys, and possibly a cleft lip. The midwives told us not not to worry about it too much. Usually the kidneys resolves themselves, and the cleft lip wasn't a guarantee. Apparently you like to bite your fingers. Silly boy.

We were told to have a more detailed ultrasound done, so that they can make sure nothing else is wrong with you, but they didn't seem too worried, so I'm trying not to be. So much else happened this summer that I'm not sure I can handle anything else going wrong. So I'm not worrying about it. Worrying won't change anything anyway. :).

Instead, I'm gonna dream about names for you. Your dad and I know we want it to be celtic, but haven't decided on one we both like just yet. We are gonna have a gender reveal party in a couple of weeks though. I promise we'll have at least a first name for you by then :). I love you so much already baby boy. I can't wait to meet you and introduce you to everyone.

Love,
Mom
