Baby Pritchett update :)
 

Well it was a big day full of appointments around here! I saw my reg ob, went for an ultrasound, and also went for an appt at the high risk specialist. Whew! Some random tidbits:

1. We did have an ultrasound (my high risk dr does the anatomy scan at 16 weeks), but we couldn't see the gender cause baby had his/her legs tucked up under the tushie. I'm only slightly disappointed as everything looked great, and baby is right on schedule. We will do another scan in 3 weeks to try again. :)

2. I found out that the due date my dr has on my chart is actually sooner than what I thought! I was going by what the tech told me in my first ultrasound, but since that was only a few days off from my last period, they go by the original date. That makes my due date 2/14. :)

3. On that same note, because of my blood-clotting disorder and the shots that I have to take, the doctor said that they will likely want to induce me before 40 weeks providing that everything is advancing normally. So, I can plan on having the baby around 39 weeks (with this disorder, the risk of stillbirth and other problems arise the further past 40 weeks you go... they'll be monitoring me very closely in the 3rd trimester, so we'll know when it's time).

So, all in all, it was a pretty exciting day. I'm worn out though!

Glad everything is well. Keep hanging in there!

Wonderful news...maybe next time you can find out the gender :)

oh yay! i am very happy libby. hopefully next time you'll find out.

so glad everything is looking so good... must be a lady hiding her girly bits... my boys always were not shy in showing their parts LOL.

Awe, such wonderful news.

gosh - I can't believe you are 16 weeks! 4 weeks until you are half way there!! :) Bummer about not being able to see the gender - but very glad that everything is looking great!

Mine either, as soon as she said boy, he was like "HEY LOOK, right here, check these out" (doing the crazy man dance in there)

hahaha Well, Jeff would be THRILLED if that's the case... he realllllllly wants a girl. :)

Mine was the same!!

Congrats Libby. Sounds like they are taking good care of you!

That's awesome news! Glad everything is going well..bummer you have to wait to find out the gender.

And Kennedy's birthday is 2/14. Her original due date was 2/17.

You totally should do a gender cake party! At your next us, if they can identify the gender, tell them to put into an envelope, seal it and than you take it to a bakery and have them make cupcakes or cake or whatever with the blue or pink inside. So the day of your party, you and your guests bite and see what your having!!

That's great news. Can't believe you're 16 weeks already! My boy wasn't shy about showing his boy bits either, it must be a general boy thing :D

I'm keeping you in my prayers and so glad it's going well!

WOW! Great news...love the updates! So exciting.

I was positive this thread was going to state they discovered you were having twins.
fwiw ce never showed his bits either- and being a fellow high risk pg'er- i had 46363258902426326395082357328957238573289523523603 46430643 ultrasounds. not one peek. :p so dont be too bummed out if you cant see next time too.

How fun! My youngest wouldn't show her stuff either so I had to make an appt with BabyWaves to find out the gender. How fun that you already know when you'll be seeing her again!

I'm glad it all went well Libby!!! I hope baby continues to grow healthily!!

Glad the baby is doing well, Libby!

Wahoo, Libby! I'm just glad everything is healthy and how cool you get to have your due date moved up! I had several of my babies be shy at ultrasounds, lol. Hopefully next time you'll be able to tell! xoxo

Glad everything is going well. Keeping you in my thoughts!

So good that everything is going well with baby and you, too.

Due on Valentine's Day! If that isn't a love baby! <3
Glad everything is fine, Libby

I'm so glad things are going so well! Hopefully you will get to see the gender at your next ultrasound. Keeping you and baby Pritchett in my thoughts and prayers.

So happy things are going well! :)

Glad to hear things are going well, Libby!!

And I'm another who is guessing it's a sweet little lady - both of my boys were not shy at all. We didn't find out gender on my first one, but the u/s tech said if we wanted to know, baby was not being shy at all (should have known right away that it was a boy!)...and with #2 the u/s tech knew the second that wand hit my tummy...these boys are proud of their goods! :D

Glad everything is going well Libby. My daughters were very shy at their ultrasounds. I can't wait to find out what you are having!!! :)

YAY!!! I am glad that everything is going great!!!

Awww, a Valentine's baby (well maybe)! LOL It's good to hear that baby and momma are doing well.

That is awesome Libby! I'm so happy to hear that everything is going well!

Yay Libby!!! Sounds like everything is going well with that sweet little bean! I guess we know what you are getting for Valentine's Day this year. What a perfect gift.

soooo happy and excited for you...keeping you and your baby in my prayers~!

So glad that everything is going so well!

So glad everything looks good and all moving along so nicely! I am so excited for you :)

oooh Libby! So exciting, love hearing the updates . . my last lil one had her legs crossed most of the time, and my grandma said 'well, it must be a girl" LOL - as it turns out it WAS a girl but I didnt find out until the week before I had her

Terrific news, Libby . . . and regardless of which gender, what an AWESOME Valentine's Day gift! :)

Yay! So glad all is going so well.
