18 wk Sonogram

Monday we went to Dr. O'Hara for our 18 wk sonogram. We were a little nervous but over all we were calm about it. We went it and had Tara (the same girl that we had with Myles), it was nice to see a familiar face.  So we got started and right off the bat there was tons of fluid and you could see things very clearly. The baby was moving all around and so it was hard for Tara to see everything she wanted, plus my bladder was full....really full. I know tmi. Anyway, she showed went through all the normal stuff like measuring the head, the arms and legs as well as looking at the vital organs. We also found out the sex of the baby....drum roll please...........

It's a GIRL!!! So we are now preparing ourselves for the adventure of being parents to a baby girl. My first thought was....oh no boyfriends and girl drama and makeup and all the other crazy things that go with being a girl!! But we have time to prepare for all that and from what I hear there is nothing you can do to prepare. We are just over the moon excited for this little sweetie! I also have to share my favorite sono pict with you all, her perfect little feet. They melted my heart when I saw them. I can't wait to kiss those little cuties which for me is HUGE because I hate feet!

We will go back at 28 weeks to get a good view of the babies heart and kidneys, Dr. O'Hara wasn't happy with the images they got this time since she was wiggling around so much. Please continue praying that the pregnancy continues on this path. Thank you for all your prayers! God is so good!

Appt with Dr. Lopez

Sorry I haven't been updating the blog as much as I should but the couch has been my friend when I get home from work and haven't really wanted to do much else. So, I promised I would let you all know how our test results came back from the chromosomal abnormalities and that test came back fine. God is so good!

So I had another doctor's appt. with Dr. Lopez today and things went well. I am dealing with a cold or allergies (like most people this time of year) but other than that it was an uneventful appoint. Which we decided that after Myles is a well deserved break! The baby's heart rate this time was at 153 bpm, it is so fun hearing the heartbeat...which I could hear it all the time.

We don't go to see Dr. O'Hara, the fetal maternal specialist until May 17th and we are eager for that appointment. We are hopeful that she will tell is that the baby is growing at a normal rate and everything is fine and we might be lucky enough to find out the sex. You can vote on what you think we are having on the right side of the blog.

Please pray for us on this pregnancy that God give us strength and peace with whatever is headed our way.
