most people think we’re crazy [for lots of reasons], but we had every intention of not finding out the gender of the baby again with this pregnancy…
well after our sonogram at 22 weeks, the nurse told us (because our sweet, caring and calming doctor was tending to a delivery) they noticed some potential abnormalities with the umbilical cord – but the baby looked 100% healthy.
josh wasn’t thrilled that she actually told us in that order -- ”could she not have said, everything looks fine with the baby, but…” so anyway, after a long explanation and a napkin drawing (really?!) that sent me into a tailspin, she said it was nothing to be too concerned about (again, really?!). most likely they would just do several sonos toward the end of the pregnancy, but she was going to review the pics with my doctor on monday and call us with an update. that weekend came and went ever so slowly, and the nurse called on monday to tell us they wanted me to see a perinatal medicine specialist for another sonogram and opinion.
waiting another week for that appointment was truly dreadful. hundreds of possibilities crossed my mind, but on friday we got an all but A+ report from the specialist and found out
…it’s a GIRL!!!
we go back for another sonogram in 3 weeks, but he said everything looked very good. not sure what we’ll do with it, but we even got this sono on DVD. the doctor literally said it had to be girl, because her hands weren’t in between her legs…uh, what….hahahha!!! many tears, smiles and MUCH relief…
so to celebrate, drew and i put on our brightest pink shirts and had josh take us to lowe’s on sunday morning to buy as many pink flowers as we could find. albeit windy, i was determined to get that blush and bashful color in our front flower beds. drew got his own set of gardening tools, although he was most interested in the watering can…and when we got home the only thing he really watered was himself!
now if we could just get that grass a little greener…
