This pregnancy has been certainly a learning experience for Darren and I. I was sick for the first 5 months. When we learned that we are having a boy (which we are THRILLED about, new adventure right?) we also learned that he had some "abnormalities" with his heart and kidneys. We were asked to see a specialist in Spokane. So after three weeks of worrying we headed up to the appointment where we learned that the heart is completely healthy and fine, but that one of the kidneys is having a urinary reflux problem. The dr. told us that in many cases this fixes itself by about 33 weeks so we will have to go back up to Spokane later this month for a follow up appointment. We are very hopeful that everything will be fine, prayers are always appreciated! I did have about 6 weeks where I wasn't sick all day and as long as I stay on some medication I am at least functional. For now we are just thankful to be able to be pregnant and trusted with another of Heavenly Father's children.
30 weeks and I'm Jabba The Hutt already. I am definitely carrying this one different, I have yet to gain as much weight as I did with the girls but I am still running out of large enough shirts to cover my belly. *SIGH* Only 10 more weeks, I CAN DO THIS!! :)
Such a cute profile of the the little guy right?
So here is the short list on names:
Keegan
Lincoln
Leland
Greyson
Parker

Oh man those are all such cute names! I like Lincon! And Greyson!You make for such beautiful pregnant momma!
I think Lincoln as well! It is so cute.
Dru and I both LOVE Lincon for an English name.
Thanks for the update. I hope his kidney's fix themselves.
Let us know.
Boys are AWESOME, you will love him to bits and I'm SO GLAD that you are blessed with him in your life.
You look great.
I'm so sorry you've felt like crap this pregnancy.
SO HARD, yet SO WORTH it.
Man 10 more weeks must seem so long.
You can do it Tessa, you are an extremely strong woman and someone I hope to be more like with lots of hard work and humility.
Love you girl
Man those are all very cute I am having a hard time deciding which I want to vote for! Good luck surviving. Boys are fun, at least so far I think so. I feel like a have a different bond with Matthew than with Kaitlynn because he is my boy.
Hope everything turns out OK with the little guy. I think Parker is really cute. Sorry you haven't been feeling well. These picts made me really happy because I look just like you. lol. I am feeling so huge!! I haven't gained that much either but I am just poking out so much. Everyone I see is like "when are you do?" and when I say November they go, "oh man" and make this face like we feel so sorry for you. ha ha
I'm a little jealous of the perfect profile ultrasound picture. My little baby girl had her arms in the way and I got nothing but a great shot of the little girl parts. Who wants to frame that? We miss you guys and hope everything is going great. You look beautiful by the way!
You're beautiful! I think you should go with Parker Allen. We were going to name our boy Parker Allen Clawson, with some homage to Darren, before another name came up. Good luck with your last few weeks!
I haven't read your blog in a while...glad to get caught up. i still can't believe you live so close and I never see you. darn 40-45hr work weeks :) Hope everything continues to go well with Baby Boy Allen. I think Parker is a really popular name right now so my vote is for not that, LOL!!
