The Ultrasound

So Maya and Addy will be welcoming another sister into the family. Three little girls...can you believe it?!?! Dean and I are thrilled to have 3 beautiful little girls. We can keep all the girl clothes, decorations, and toys...and hopefully Maya's clothing will continue to last through two more rounds of girls:-) Dean is definitely out numbered, but he adores his girls, and honestly was not sure what he would do with a boy. As long as our girls play "ball" , "chase", and make forts with him...he will be a pretty happy Daddy!

So far baby girl looks healthy and is measuring right on track for her June 17th C-section date. (due date is officially 6/24) She was quite a squimer and almost did not cooperate for us, as we were trying to discover her gender. She also was doing some lovely "head-butts" into my bladder, which may explain my need to go to the bathroom a TON! We will have a fetal echo-cardiogram done in about a month, which will hopefully rule out any heart defects. Here are some specific things they looked for on the ultrasound today, 4 heart chambers, a well developed right and left kidney, normal brain size, no cleft lip or palate...unfortunately, there are many things that Maya has that will not show up on an ultrasound, but is sure good to know that there is nothing wrong with what the doctors looked at today, and for that we are VERY thankful.
