Tests Show a Perfect Baby….Girl?

While I was enjoying Dollywood with my brother, Monty, sister-in-law Barbara Leigh, and one of my nephews, Will, Allen and Lorisha were are Dr. Horenstein’s office having a BUN test to see if the baby was healthy.  First off, let me tell you about Dollywood.  It was fantastic.  I am the biggest Dolly fan there is and to be there with my family was wonderful.  7-year-old Will is a hoot and kept me on my toes.  It was a good test for when our little one will be that age.  Some of my favorite “Willism’s” include:  “By the way” before saying anything...."I’m going to need a moment” when explaining why there would be a delay in his actions....and “Are you being sarcastic, I don’t like sarcastic people” which of course was said to me many times on the trip!!!  It was wonderful and I can’t wait to do it again!  Yes, that’s me and Will with one of the park employees named “Old Coot”! 

Now, to the baby news I know you have all been waiting for.  First of all, we spared you another ultrasound picture even though we have several new ones from this week’s appointment.  Allen said that it was getting a little redundant so you’ll have to settle for the 2 pictures which show our friends Richard and Schuyler with their new 7-week baby girl, Someryn.  They let us “practice” with her and it was so wonderful.  I love them at this age but Allen was a little scared he might break her!

This week we had a very important test to determine if the baby was healthy, growing properly, and had any potential birth defects.  This test is very sophisticated and non-invasive which is a plus.  The good news is that Dr. Horenstein said that everything looks PERFECT.  I was able to see the video and our little bug was moving all around and looked just great.  And....drumroll please....while it is a little early, Dr. H. said that it looks like a girl to her.  We won’t know for sure for a few more weeks. 

So, it was a good week and we are so thrilled that our baby is doing well.  And, of course, our amazing surrogate Lorisha never complains and is such a joy to be with.  She has been so sick but is feeling a little better and hopefully will be doing great soon now that she is weaning off all of the medications she was taking to assist with the early stages of the pregnancy.  It is hard to believe that we are getting ready to enter our second trimester.  February will be here before we know it!!!!
