It is a boy! It was so nice to hear them say - YOU HAVE A HEALTHY LITTLE BOY! His name is Jarrett Sterling Genesis Beets. We chose the name Jarrett because I like the initials JB together and the initials were my grandfather's nickname. I chose Sterling because it is my angel son's first name and my husband's great grandfather's name. I chose Genesis because it is my angel daughter's middle name and also has the biblical meaning of the beginning.

The c-section went extremely well (except for the itching reaction to the morphine the next couple of days). I don’t feel like I have much to say about the c since it was planned and it worked out well – we went in for surgery about 2 hours later than expected because there were some emergency c’s needed. I was in the operating room for about an hour – they had to dissect some scar tissue from getting my cerclage in off my bowels so that made it take a little bit longer. I was released from the hospital on Tuesday early afternoon and we are doing well. We are trying to teach him when night starts and when day begins – he’s a bit confused on that but I can deal with that.

Well, I’m very excited to be a mommy. I have had so many prayers, friends, support, and motivators over the last few years and I can’t say how much I appreciate it all. Not sure how many times one can say thank you, but thank you all once again. I’m so in love with this little one. It is amazing.
