We had our 20-week ultrasound today. I had been looking forward to this date for so long, it's not even funny. I hardly slept last night because I was so excited.
So to keep you in suspense no longer.......
It's a GIRL!
We're super excited, and now I can finally get David to start talking about names with me!
Baby girl is measuring 10 inches in length and 14.5 ounces. Apparently, that's right on track for January 15th, so that's good. I guess she was sleeping during the ultrasound, and she refused to move around much. The doctor shook my belly around and had me lie in three different positions, to no avail. (I'm hoping that's a good sign for when she's sleeping outside of the womb!) Anyway, because he couldn't get her to move around much and she was all curled in a little ball, I have to go back in a couple weeks. He wasn't able to adequately view her spine since she was curled up, but he hoped that in a couple weeks she'd be more stretched out. She also had some kind of cyst or soft spot on her head. There was an actual medical term he used to describe it, but I completely forgot what it was. He assured me that as a single symptom, it meant absolutely nothing. I should have asked more questions, and I'm looking forward to seeing my OB-GYN on Tuesday and my follow-up ultrasound to reassure me that everything's okay with this little girl. Any prayers you could offer up would be appreciated!
Hooray for the first granddaughter on both sides of our family!
