It’s a girl, and this is what her name is. We are so excited at this news. She continues to grow up nice and strong and is right on target for her due date, if not a little ahead. She is active, and beautiful.
Ethan went with us to the ultrasound and he especially liked it. Jason held his up to the big screen and pointed out different body parts (her leg, arm, head, etc) as the ultrasound happened. He especially liked hearing her heartbeat. It was precious, I have to say. Moments like that make all of the bedrest worth it!
My favorite picture that they took is this next one. A cute little hand. Tiny and perfect. All is coming along beautifully and I am halfway done with this ordeal no matter what! Almost all preemie babies go home from the hospital by their due date, so at 20 weeks, I’m halfway to the end. We’re hoping that this early detection might enable the Doctors to prolong the process though, and still no sign of the preeclampsia…just hypertension which is manageable. That’s a good thing.
