Ultrasound!
















Descriptions of the pictures: #1 is of a foot, you can see the little toes and heal. #2 is from underneath, legs and butt, with a circle around the genitals...looks like a girl! #3 is a full pic of the baby, head, body and legs! She is lounging around!

I had an ultrasound today. It started off a good day, I was there on time, they called me in on time...but my HUSBAND was MIA! I'll forgive him this time, but never again;-) He DID feel really bad about not being there, in his defense.
It is amazing seeing this little person, it looks like a real human, or at least the outline of one! You can see the little nose and mouth, legs, arms, it's crazy! Today was checking for down syndrome, and according to the tech, because the nose bone was prominent and also something about some skin on the back of the neck, it looks like everything is good to go. They also took some blood from my finger (honestly I'm already getting sick of needles) and that will tell us for sure if there is anything wrong.
As you can tell by the pictures, it looks like it might be a SHE! So for now, I'll be referring to a HER. Because it's really soon, the tech said it could be either/or but right now, it looks like a little girl! I'm really excited. Honestly I didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, Shawn on the other hand wanted a boy, like all men! I did have the feeling it was a girl tho. The reason I felt that way was because of what someone told me about astrology. Because the baby will be born at the beginning of July, she will be a Cancer. I was told that if it's a boy, he would be a sweet, loyal boy who will love his mom and be an all around good kid. If it's a girl, she would be a devil child! Because I believe we eventually all reap what we sow, I was destined to have a daughter who would be naughty! However my Mother in law is a Cancer and a very nice person, so who knows! It seems that everyone thinks it's a girl. Although none of these guesses are based on any sort of science (Jessica DeSchepper relies on some theory of the nose widening or not, widening nose=boy,) sometimes an intuition is a pretty reliable thing! So for now, because it's not definitive, we won't be buying anything "girly" but will refer to her as a HER!

Video is 3 second of a waving baby!

  1. Good thing you finally got these on here!! I've been waiting all night, and it's past my bedtime, but worth the wait!! We'll call her "her" for now, but I'm not 100% convinced!! And kick my son for me for missing the appointment!!! If it is a girl, I'm sure she'll have Shawn wrapped around her little finger in no time flat!! Glad to hear all is well!

    PS-I can't believe you were ever that naughty!!
