C had her (hopefully) once-only, out-of-town ultrasound appointment yesterday. Considering they have to travel 5 hours or more, this proved to be an all-day affair. Her appointment was late in the afternoon, so they took the kids with them and were able to spend a nice amount of time at the zoo. A good time was had by all.
The ultrasound took over two hours for them to complete. I guess the baby was VERY uncooperative, so they just had to keep searching. The purpose of the ultrasound was to determine if there was anything showing that could indicate a problem with the baby--and that would indicate a failure to thrive. (Failure to thrive seems to be what happens to her babies.) Everything looked good, so she isn't scheduled to go back to see the specialist. Thank goodness. She doesn't need the added stress--physical AND mental--during a pregnancy.
She went into the ultrasound with the knowledge that she was having a boy. Everything pointed in that direction--heart rate, etc. They were SO happy because they already have four girls, so another boy would help up the testosterone level in their household. So, the ultrasound revealed--and you HAVE to know what is coming next--that they are having ANOTHER girl! Good Lord, I hope this doesn't mean that she will have ANOTHER pregnancy after this one!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to the happy family! Healthy baby all around (no matter what it is!)
=) awwww....I second the congrats to the happy family!! More sugar and spice and everything nice!
ReplyDeleteWe had four girls in our family, on a dairy farm no less. Five girls sounds even more perfect!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Glad to hear the babe looks and "sounds" healthy!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the 'congrats!' While I have been partial to little girls--probably because I only raised girls--C wants another boy. Fine, but of course, she'll 'take' what she gets. :) I'm just afraid she will decide to try 'just one more time' for the boy. And her pregnancies are aways a concern for me.
ReplyDeleteI must try to stop worrying. After all, it IS is God's hands and not ours.
I'm late to read this post but I wanted to add my Congrats to your daughter and you, Grandma!
