Samantha has been going through this phase lately where she wants to take all of toys with her everywhere we go: in the car, on walks, and to bed, ect.
And she fills her stroller up and loads up the handles and has toys in her hands too. This isn't the best example, but you get the idea. She is so funny.
So, I should have polled you all 6 months ago and wouldn't have had to go through to waiting. It is a BOY! The first thing Ben said after the ultrasound was "Good, now we'll have one of each and can be done. I don't think I can handle another pregnancy." I just laughed.
I have another ultrasound this week that will be much more extensive looking for any problems; and Ben, Samantha, and I will be getting genetic testing done at the same time. I am both excited and nervous for the results.
I'm going in for an ultrasound on Thursday and get to take a sneak peek of this little baby! I will be 18 weeks and should be able to find out the gender of our baby! I am so excited, we would love either a boy or a girl! I would like a boy just because 2 boys have been born in our families in the past month and that would be fun. But, I would like a girl because I'm used to doing girl stuff and have everything for girls, not to mention a little scared of the unknown boy stuff (like surprise pee-pee attacks during diaper changes).
My big ultrasound will be Nov. 20 when I am actually 20 weeks. That will be an extensive/high-risk one to check for problems like the ones Mantha had. We also will be getting genetic testing that day to see the percentage of her problems being repeated. (Since what she had is so rare, they could not determine if it was a genetic problem or just a fluke pregnancy problem, during genetic testing they may be able to give us a better idea.) They are being very watchful of this little one just in case, which is good, but makes me nervous that something is going to go wrong.
Vote for your pick boy/girl on the left side. :)
