This week has been a bit of a roller coaster. We went to the doctor last Friday to find out the gender of our baby – or rather, have it confirmed. Confession: Ryan and I found out while we were in Florida, but because I was only 16 weeks, I wanted to have it confirmed before announcing it. While at the doctor, I also found out I have complete Placenta Previa with this pregnancy. Sigh. This means that if it does not resolve itself by the end of my pregnancy, I will have to have a c-section. I will also more than likely have to be on bed rest for a little while at some point and am at a high risk for pre-term labor. Not something you ever want to hear.
It’s A…
We were sitting in the exam room having our anatomy ultra sound and checking all of our sweet little baby’s organs. Everything looked perfect and healthy. We are so blessed to have two healthy babies. As she moved down to finally see the goods, I fully expected to see another boy. I am not sure why, but I did. She showed us and before she even said the words, I could see there was nothing there. We are having a little GIRL!! Ryan called it right this time! We are beyond excited. My mother ran out and bought her the cutest Christmas outfit for next year that I cannot wait to see on her!
Hampton still doesn’t quite understand, but he acted really happy and excited when we told him. He chewed on her little pink ornament all day. haha
In other news, baby girl is back on track to a May 2nd due date which means I will be 20 weeks tomorrow. What? Halfway there, y’all. This pregnancy is FLYING and I have so much to do. I’m not going to focus on all of the details of moving Hampton into a new room until after the holidays, but I am excited to do a “big boy” room for him! He definitely deserves something special since he will be the best big brother in just a few short months.
It looks like those Old Wives Tales were right for me this time! 🙂
