Yesterday morning was our "big" ultrasound with a radiologist. It's so amazing what they do. She measured all of the organs and limbs and head and brain - amazing! Seriously, in all that grey, white, and black fuzziness, how do you know that's a kidney??? The good news is that everything is measuring on track. I was afraid I wasn't growing fast enough, making me wonder about the size of the baby. But, all is good. Somehow, with the head and limb measurements, they can tell you how much the baby actually weighs, and right now she is at 1.3 pounds, and my due date is exactly on schedule.
So, our little one is a girl. Not Blair's first pick, but he is so excited to become a daddy. I swear after the appointment he was beaming. During the ultrasound, our little girl was moving all over the place and the technician said she had good thigh muscles. That was all Blair needed to hear, not sure if he heard anything else the rest of the time! He's determined that she'll be a runner with him!!!
We are SO excited and I'm sort of in this unbelieveable trance. Emotionally, I'm still trying to grasp the fact that we are actually pregnant, that this pregnancy is actually going to last full term, that we are actually going to have a newborn in January, that we are actually having a baby girl - our lives are never going to be the same again!!!
