Today was my 31 week check-up. J was off, so he stayed home to take Ry to school and watch Kenna. It was weird to go somewhere alone, but it was pretty nice to enjoy the quiet. The waiting room was empty except me, and I waited 30 min. before I was called back. The nurse, who was training and explained the long wait, took my weight and I gained 1 1/2 pounds. At this rate, I'll probably gain all I lost which is making my Dr happy. Then she took me back to get my blood pressure, 110/72.
When my Dr came in, he informed me of my diabetes results from 2 weeks ago, negative. So far, good stats. Then he measured my belly and listened to the heartbeat. All sounded and looked great. He said I didn't have to be on continuous bed rest anymore...unless the cramping and pain acts up.
I then asked him if we could do another ultrasound because he usually doesn't do them this late in the pregnancy. I told him J really wanted to know for sure what the sex of the baby was because he's insistent it's a boy. We went to the ultrasound room and applied the warm jelly. After about a minute, I asked, "Can you see for sure?" He said nothing is 100%. But just to show him what's what, the baby flipped and BAM! There was no mistaking it now. 100%.....GIRL!!!
We are naming her Kodee Reyn which Ry picked out. Everyday she comes to my belly and talks to her. Either "Hi Kodee" or "You're such a good girl" or "I Love You Kodee" among all else she likes to say to her. The girls are so excited to have a baby in the house. Mostly to dress her up and feed her bottles. But let's face it, we are all pretty anxious to meet her and add her sweetness to our family!
On the left of the pic, is her head and her arm is bent in half...the white dots are her knuckles. On the right side of the pic, is her very prominent girl parts. J was a little sad he was wrong, but of course he will totally love her. As he said though, "I'm in deep trouble!"
