I wanted to wait til I was 12 weeks to post about this, and it's almost here so...
I had my first dr's visit and an ultrasound today, and everything looked perfect. :) The baby was jumping and dancing around the entire time. I could even see little fingers! The heart rate was 171 - that seems high, no?
The tech said that she could even detect the sex. I said, "No way! It's too early!!" I told her not to tell me, since DH was not there. But I figure, if she can tell now, that must mean that it is a boy. I'll have my next u/s on Feb. 8th, so hopefully we'll know better then.
I am ashamed to admit that I really want another girl, and don't know what I'd even *DO* with a boy! Plus I have saved tubs and tubs of Julia's clothes, and I'll be so sad not to use them again. :( (I know, I know, how lame is that?!) I know I'll love this child no matter what, and I hear that little boys just ADORE their mommies. :)
Well, I do love the name Brendan for a boy, and it is more unique than my girl choice, Emma. Hopefully DH can be convinced to go with Brendan! I know he'd be thrilled to have a boy to even things up around here. I must admit that we do live in a Disney Princess castle these days!
Hopefully I'll have more concrete info in about a month... And the best news of all is that everything looks just fine.
