IT'S A BOY!
I had my ultrasound done on Friday. The
doctor who
performed the ultrasound asked me if I wanted
to know
the sex of the baby before we got started, I
told her
I was undecided, but leaning toword no.
But I knew
that my husband wanted to find out. About
half way
through it she was taking measurments and showing
us
various organs and structures when I said "that
has
got to be a boy" she looked at me and said "I
thought
you didn't want to know" I said it's hard to
deny when
you can see it so plain. My husband was
asking
"where, I don't see anything" so she scanned
back to
the penis and gave him a look. I didn't
really want
to know the gender but there was no denying it.
I
didn't care what sex the baby is , I'm just hoping
for
a healthy one. I had the Dr. look at my
placenta for
calcifications, there were none. As far
as
measurements go, this baby is in the 95th percentile
and measureing 3 days ahead of schedule.
Everything
looked great. The only concern the Dr.
had was that
my placenta implanted low. I am supposed
to have
another ultrasound at 28 weeks to see if as my
uterus
expands the placenta migrates up at all.
I read in
one of my nursing text books that about 90% of
the
cases of early diagnosed low lying placenta or
placenta previa do migrate up and therefore don't
cause any problems. I'm keeping my fingers
crossed.
I go to the doctor for a regular OB appointment
this
Wednesday. I'll update more after that.
