It’s a girl!!
Well we had our BIG ultrasound on Tuesday, July 15th. I am only 16 weeks along, but they were able to check all the major things they needed to check. So her brain is measuring just right and looks great, her heart looks great, her upper lip looks great, her kidneys and bladder look great, her hands and feet look great…. So we have a healthy baby!! No more ultrasounds now unless we need one for some reason, or if the midwives are nice and let us take another peak for fun at 28 weeks. She was also able to tell Jared that it’s a GIRL which completely shocked me when he told me later (I wanted Jared to be the one to tell me and not the doctors or nurses so I had them keep it a secret from me while we were there and he told me once we were home) because I have been expecting a boy all along. Her name will be Parker:) Most likely, Parker Rae. Jared is very excited to have his little princess and I am very excited for a little baby girl. It’ll take a little time to get used to the idea that I will one day have a teenage girl on my hands….:) So here are the pictures we came home with. There are a few that the nurse gave us doubles of, but we just threw them all in anyway. She’s looking like a real baby now!! She’s measuring about 9 centimeters which is good for her “age”. In some you can see her sucking her thumb, or possibly picking her nose as the nurse suggested. Then she kept lounging back and relaxing and not showing us if she was a girl or boy at first and so there are one or two of her with her arm bent and her hand behind her head as if she’s relaxing back. The last few are basically impossible to make out, but the really blurry ones seem to have a face on the right side looking off to the right (creepy!) and the last one is the one where she says it’s a girl.
Everything is going great with us and now that I’m in my 2nd trimester I’m not feeling any of the sickness anymore. I’m starting to show a little bit, but still not obvious to anyone who doesn’t know me. Pants are getting pretty tight:)
We’ll keep everyone updated whenever we get more news!!
