Week 19: It's a Girl!




I've been getting a little bigger day by day, but it's slow going. A random stranger would find it hard to tell I'm pregnant, but there are days I feel huge. I haven't been putting on the pounds yet though, which is good in a way, but not so good for the baby, I'd think.

Today we had an ultrasound appointment. And.... it's a GIRL! I was right and Shel was wrong :) Anyway, we're excited. Baby girl wasn't cooperating too well though since she seemed to be too comfy in one position and didn't want to move to let the tech examine the spinal cord. The tech had me move around a bit and try to get baby girl move but she wouldn't turn over...stubborn like her mama. So, she said that she checked out everything else and that after the radiologist checks the images, they'll send the report to Dr. Cutler and she'll share the results with us. Also said that they'll have me schedule another appt to get the spinal cord examined, but Dr. Cutler will let us know.

They gave us a CD with several images of the ultrasound, but we didn't really get one full image of the baby. There are a couple of the face... baby girl looks a lil scary on the images :) But, I'm sure she's gorgeous. The other images are labeled but it's still hard to tell what we're looking at.

Congratulations! Don't worry about the weight, it will come, trust me. ;) I'm so glad things are going well and that you're feeling much better. I'm excited to be able to keep up with everything now.
