Gender Reveal

 

Hello everyone!!

I recently had my anatomy ultrasound (US), and met the doctor for the first time on Tuesday. I found out that I have a new due date and I am 19 weeks and 6 days today. The doctor was AMAZING!!! He answered all my questions and made me feel so comfortable. I honestly would have never gotten a midwife if I had met him first; that is how great he was. The US tech on the other hand was slightly rude, but she could not rain on my good day. When she called me back, I advised her that my mother in law was not there, and she rudely stated well you appointment is at 10:30 and we have to get started *Please note, its only like 10:32 at this point* I was like "ok." I laid on the bed and lifted my shirt. Soon after laying down, the front desk call in the room saying "Sabrina's mother is outside, can she come in" The tech made it seem like she had to think about it. Excuse my language, but BITCH yea she can come in. I yelled out "yes!" and the tech says "I guess that is fine" Whatever!!! So the tech says she is going to OK up stuff for the doctor, then she will show us everything. We got to see the baby move, drink, kick, everything. I was trying to enjoy the US bot I had to pee so bad and they wont let you go until after. So, the baby was moving, the tech is pushing the US thingy on me, I thought I was going to pee on myself. They said the baby's heart rate was 155, so I said oh its a girl. The tech says, "that doesn't mean anything." I explained the wives tale to her in a giggle and she looked at me like I was crazy. But she could not damper my day, because I was seeing my baby :-P  I had her put the results in an envelope, so that I could video chat with Big Head and we would find out at the same time.

The baby is doing perfect!! Brain development is good, size is good, the baby is eating properly. I only gained 5 pounds from my last visit!!! I have gained a total of 10 pounds so far which is good since we are halfway. The doctor even gave me the OK to take the phlebotomy class and will sign off on all my paperwork and vaccination information!! I have decided NOT to do the child birth class because I don't have time too. To give 3 hours a week for breathing exercises is something I don't feel like doing. I did find an online course that I will try out and let you guys know. Yesterday was the best day I have ever had.

Now for the reveal, I hope you didn't spoil the surprise. So drum roll please............. We are having a beautiful, healthy, amazing baby..............................................................................GIRL. I did want a boy, but I feel like I am getting a gift I knew I wanted. I screamed, and I haven't stopped smiling. I am so excited, I cannot even express how happy I am. The news has not compelled me to purchase anything, but I have been thinking heavily on names. I just can't wait to meet her and see her. Me and my fiance are super excited :-) The tough part is thinking or names that start with an R, so if you have any suggestion please post!!
 
Thank you for wanting to share this wonderful news!!

See you soon,
Sabrina
