Well, my last two posts summed up the pregnancy experience so far, so now I will be writing about the new things as they happen. We still have 7 weeks left, a few more doctor's visits, and a lot more to experience.
Tomorrow, we have another ultrasound and doctor's appointment. The ultrasound is to check on the status of the baby's kidneys up to this point. That is the primary focus, because the technician at the last ultrasound said the baby's kidneys were slightly larger than they should be at that point in time...well, more developed than the other organs. I think we have had five ultrasounds so far, and each time the baby is in a different position. The baby moves around a lot apparently, and it shows on the ultrasounds.
To answer everyone at once, no we do not know what the gender of our baby is, because we want it to be a surprise. Well...here's the real story...
I have wanted it to be a surprise the whole time. From the time we found out we were having a baby, I wanted to avoid finding out the gender. Brittany, however, was all about knowing ahead of time. She was shocked and dismayed that I did not want to know. Doctor's appointment after doctor's appointment, she would ask me if we could find out, and I kept asking if we could wait. Finally, she came around to my side and decided it would be fun to wait and see. I figured that we had clothes for both and the bedding and decorations for the room were light greens and yellows, so we didn't have to worry; one way or another, we were prepared.
Now that we have only seven weeks left, she is fine with the waiting idea. It seems we are the only ones in the church that decided to go this route. There are quite a few couples that are also expecting children, and all of them have found out or want to find out what they are having. Oh well. I enjoy waiting for the surprise.
Well, we will have to see what comes of the appointments tomorrow, so until then I'm signing off.
Later,
Lorimer
