It's a GIRL!!

After 4 days on bedrest, I had my appointment with the specialist Monday afternoon. Although he says my condition is rare and rather strange, he also says it will NOT effect the pregnancy or future pregnancies! It probably won't even effect my ability to undergo natural birth instead of C-section.

The doctor also decided to do an anatomy scan to check on GB. GB was kicking her feet and flailing her arms all around. I asked if the doctor could tell if GB was a boy or girl - and he said he sure could, but he wanted to hear my possible names first. If he didn't like my names he wasn't going to tell me!! So I told him Patrick Cullen for a boy and Abigail Marie for a girl. Apparently he thought both were good choices, because he told me that I'm having an ABIGAIL!!! I floated out of the office :) Let the planning begin!

I have another appointment with the specialist on the 18th to make sure the issue has not escalated, but right now he feels that I will not need any sort of intervention or bedrest. YAY!

Matt couldn't make it to this appointment, so when I met him for dinner I gave him a bag with two pink onseies in it and told him he has a daughter. He's really really excited :) Especially since he told me before we even got pregnant that he had a dream we would have a daughter soon.

Now for the bad news - I have seen a nasty return of morning sickness in the past week. Particularly at 3am. So, if you happen to be on facebook in the wee small hours of the morning and see me there too, you'll know why. Whatever. Even massive amounts of puking (this morning it was in the school parking lot, faculty bathroom, and student bathroom) can't get me down today !! :)
