So today I went in for an impromptu second trimester sonogram. Yesterday I noticed some strange symptoms which concerned me (surprise, surprise). So I called my new OB today with my concerns, especially since I wasn't due for an appointment until 10/21. They were really great and sent me over to the sonogram place. Chris was able to come.
It was amazing - we got to see all of our baby's anatomy. The heartbeat and brain...little hands and feet!! So the baby is a LITTLE GIRL!!! As soon as she told us I felt the tears welling up in my eyes. Our baby finally had an identity. It was just the greatest feeling!! And she is developing well and is perfectly healthy. The only off thing is that I have a low lying placenta which they want to recheck at 28 weeks. They are not concerned and neither am I, especially because I get to see baby girl again in 10 weeks;) So the whole thing was like a weight lifted off of my shoulders. And a complete shock to boot since we all thought it was a little boy. I thought I might be disappointed because I had already resigned myself to a boy. But I was nothing but elated. Chris said he had a flash forward of him giving her away at her wedding at which point I felt the tears again.
I was also amazed to see that the baby is so far up in my abdomen!!! So I'm not fat - just pregnant;) She was all the way up by my belly button. So cool to see all of her. We couldn't see the facial features that well. But it'll be soon enough until we see our beautiful little princess. Can't wait!!! Now the next battle is the name since as of yesterday we both wanted Trystan for a girl but now Chris wants Stella. I love Stella too but I always wanted Trystan....so we'll see. But its not a democracy so no one else's opinion matters but ours (as it should be). Regardless, she is our little angel and I can't wait to meet her.
