Week 19:
I thought this week I would give a little recap of how we found out the possible sex of the babies around week 12. The tech was doing her thing, just looking and measuring things when all of a sudden I saw things. MH= me TB= Richard Tech=ultrasound tech
MH: I see a penis!
TB: Where? Where?
MH: Right there! That’s a PENIS!
Tech: Yah, I’ve been thinking that for a while.
TB: Where? where?
Tech: Right there, draws an arrow to the area
Right at this point TB gets a huge smile and has perked up like a rooster proud of his accomplishment.
MH: OMG what’s Baby A? Please be a girl, please be a girl! I can’t handle three boys in my house.
Tech: Well, Baby A is not cooperating but I think no guarantees that it’s a girl-NO GUARANTEES it’s still so early.
Doctor enters the room to recheck what they have been observing.
MH: Do you think baby B is a boy?
Doc: Baby B is definitely a boy
TB: Will you show me?
Doc: Points his arrows to the necessary parts.
TB: Once again smiles and feels the rooster confidence
MH: Check baby A, Baby A please be a girl
Doc: Baby A is not cooperating but possibly a girl
So with that being said every doctor appointment I had from week 12 on I would ask and most of the time I would get the response that they were not cooperating. If they could identify they would always say no guarantees. A few weeks ago one of the docs thought we had two girls inside but again said no guarantees.
SAVE Second Base:
Do you remember Romona Quimby from the Beverly Cleary books? “I must, I must, I must increase my bust” Yes that is from the 5th grade but something we have all read and know. My words to Ramona just get pregnant!
The boob fairy has left me with something that I think I kind of like. I must say my new friends have grown tremendously and I’m so proud that they are here for a visit. I just wish they would not leave me. Officially filling out a C and possibly I could surpass this once the milk arrives. I guess when this temporary blessing is gone I will go back to chanting like Ramona.
The Button is gone:
Again my belly button gets its own honor. This thing is almost gone. I took pictures last night to show its progress. I really don’t know what’s in store for it next and really quite shocked by this change. Babymoon:
Tomorrow we leave for our “babymoon” and we are both looking forward to a little relaxation. I’m a little concerned about the new x ray scanners at the airport so I asked the Dr. today for a note saying I need the pat down instead. I thought I might follow the direction of this lady to get through the line a little faster. http://www.newsok.com/in-bra-panties-and-wheelchair-woman-goes-through-oklahoma-city-airport-screening-this-morning/article/3519710?custom_click=lead_story_title
Attached are the bump pics from this week and as always thank you for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and positive comments. It means so much to us.
TB and MH
How your baby's growing:
Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
