The moment YOU all have been waiting for...

12/13/11

MUSC Prenatal Services 
North Charleston Office

We arrived at our appointment on time and with the kids (for the grammar challenged that plural for Aubrey and Wyatt).  You're probably thinking, "Who thought this would be a good idea?"  I thought it would be a good idea to take the kids and let them see the "baby in mommy's belly" on the screen with us.  It has been an awesome experience for LA and I each time and we wanted them to be apart of it.  We did consider not taking Wyatt but decided that if Aubrey went Wyatt was going also.  For those considering doing this here's a couple of tips:
  1. This isn't The Lion King or Dora
  2. If you can't figure out what you're looking, I am pretty sure a 3 year old and 21 month old isn't going to have a clue either.
  3. Unless your kids are older, I am pretty sure that they will never remember and those 35 minutes of their life that they lost, they would have enjoyed playing on the playground at daycare more.
  4. After about 3 minutes, you are going to need some entertainment for the kids and realize that this wasn't a good idea.
We survived the appointment and got good news.  10 fingers, 10 toes, all the organs and the umbilical cord look great and the baby is about 14 ounces and healthy.  There are no markers for downs syndrome which make our risk that same as any 29/30 year old having a baby.

I wanted Aubrey to make a video about the "baby in mommy's belly" for the big announcement but didn't have a chance tonight because we had Little Gym.  Aubrey determined what we are having after carefully analyzing the following pictures:






So what do you think it is? Boy? Girl?

Aubrey tells us that we are having a girl and her name is going to be Kelly (or I guess Kellie).  She has as good of a chance as being right as LA and I.  We are 0-3 on finding out.  Hang on for about 134 days and we will all find out at the same time.  Well, actually I will be the first to know then LA, immediate family and everyone else.  Check back after the new year for the poll to pick the gender, day and time.
