Default 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!

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)

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

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!

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 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!
