It's A .....

So today we went in for a surprise ultrasound. We hadn't planned on having an ultrasound today, but life is full of surprises. Yesterday the high risk OB/GYN called us personally and told us that my blood work had some unusual markers. She then said that we needed to come in for an ultrasound the next morning. So after a horrible day and a sleepless night filled with so many prayers that we lost count, we arrived at the doctor's office. I was the first patient of the day, so thankfully we didn't have to wait. Once inside the room, it was very quite. The doctor measured every inch of the baby, from crown to rump. There were so many numbers and arrows on the screen, you could barely see the baby. Chris was squeezing my hand so tightly that I was certain I had lost circulation to my fingers. And me, I was barely breathing, holding my breath, waiting for the doctor to say something. And then she said, "The measurements look great. I don't see anything to be concerned about." Finally the air came back into the room and I could breathe again. Then she asked if we wanted to know what it was. We both nodded our heads. "Congratulations, you are having a healthy baby GIRL!" So here we go. I guess I better get reacquainted with my old friends, Barbie and Ken.
