So. Yesterday was C's birthday and it was great! It started with a trip to the grocery store to pick up his cake and a birthday doughnut.
He even blew out the candles just great! We opened presents with the grandparents via Skype and had a fairly normalish day and his friends Mason and Owen came over for a bbq and fun. The boys played with the new toys before dinner, enjoyed their picnic-y food and cake then got to play with the water table and pool and they had a BLAST. It was the perfect, low-key, way to celebrate my C and Memorial Day.
C was disappointed when they had to leave but he got to go to their house this morning while Husband and I headed out to for the big ultrasound. It's A... nother healthy baby. Baby was not cooperating one bit.
The ultrasound tech poked and prodded and is tentatively saying GIRL but only at a 95%. I respect those odds and we will be referring to her as a she until further notice.
But because she wasn't playing along quite as nicely as they wanted they weren't able to get one of the heart pictures they need so we're going in next month for another look. (And we will double check if there are certain parts or lack thereof at that time.)
I should note here that she looked quite healthy and was measuring right on track and there is no reason to be concerned about her heart. We just need another look. Plus while 95% is an A in the GPA world, that missing 5% is in the back of my mind and I am glad we have another excuse to see her.

Not a profile, but she is looking at you with both hands on the side of her head. I'm not lying when I say our pictures aren't super great. |
A girl! Pink ribbons and bows!!
ReplyDeleteAnd an October baby too...
God is good! : )
Congratulations again on having a BABY (girl or boy). We had the same thing happen with taking pictures of Baby Titus' heart back at our 20 week, so we are going in on Friday to have another look. I am glad everything looks great so far! You know, if you really, really want to find out, you could have the fetal dna blood test done (at least I think you still can)…it is more accurate than the ultrasound (at least they told us). It is just a blood draw from you, like a normal blood draw.
ReplyDeleteSo glad everything looks good!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a healthy baby! Girl or boy, you can spend the next month 5% of the time thinking that perhaps the odds are baby just may be a boy. Or you could go crazy and buy a bunch of hairbows and frilly dresses just in case 95% is good enough. Oh the possibilities!! :) Blessings on your waiting and I'll keep praying for you, baby and a healthy pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteps...October is a wonderful month for a birthday! ;)
A GIRL!!!! HOW EXCITING!!!!! Congrats, and like you, I would be wondering about that other 5%....but until then, ballerinas and ponies and rainbows and tea parties...so very exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how BIG C is! (well, I knew, but the picture of him being 2 .... he was just so little just a few months ago!) He is SUCH a CUTIE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd CONGRATS on your baby Girl!!!
