Shu Shu is a She She!

Well, I know I said that we'd be finding out what flavor this new baby is next week, but I had an unexpected appointment today and we found out that we're having a girl! Quite honestly, it's quite an adjustment to think about pink shoes, hair bows, and baby dolls, but the grandmammas and Wilson are thrilled enough for all of us until the news becomes more real. She was quite the little wiggle worm and that was with me having had no breakfast- I think we have a fire ball on our hands!


Most importantly, she looked perfectly healthy and we had a very in depth look at her. Like I said, this was an unexpected appointment. A nurse from my doctor's office called yesterday morning and said that there was an opening at one of the prenatal specialists in town's office and that my regular doctor wanted me to go in today and have a targeted sonogram. So we spent about 30 minutes looking at all the bones, vertebrae, and movements she has. I have my regularly scheduled appointment on Tuesday so I'll find out then why the sudden need to go to a specialist. But as of today, everything looked as perfect as could be. She's measuring one day behind her due date. So, the fact that I haven't been able to eat a lot doesn't seem to be bothering her one bit, which is really the only concern I've had.


No names yet, but I expect that will come in a new post very soon. Here are a couple of the pictures we got. She likes to suck her thumb and we also caught a glimpse of her patting herself on the back. Pretty funny!
