15 week ultrasound

At my 15 week appointment, we unexpectedly did an ultrasound. My OB just wanted to peek at the baby since I had been spotting again and have been sick lately... the heartbeat was in the 170s and everything looked good. We could (somewhat) clearly see the toes wiggling and everything. Since this was an external ultrasound, and I did not drink all the water I needed to prepare, things were a little fuzzy, but regardless we were able to see my little orange doing well. The heartbeat has slowed from it's once 185 beat but that is to be expected. It was in the 170s. We now have 2 reasons to believe the baby is a girl... fast heartbeat and a hamburger...
We all know that at 15 weeks, it's still an uncertainty as to whether or not the baby is a girl or a boy. But my OB clearly said, "THAT is a vagina." HA! But she did follow that with, "Well, we won't know for sure for a few more weeks." Yeah, yeah I know... but I do think my instincts have been right all along. I think I have a little Zoey in my belly. My heart was put at ease even more when I started talking to my OB about her move. This was my last appointment with her at North Crest Medical Center... my anatomy scan will be at Stone Crest Medical Center in Smyrna. That's right, I have decided 100% that I am following her to Smyrna! I feel so at ease with this decision and my heart is comforted. My OB is amazing, I cannot pass her up.
There you can somewhat see the femur bone, the shin bone, and the monstrous Wallace foot.

We're going to schedule the anatomy scan for the week of Thanksgiving. I'll be 18 weeks, and ironically the baby will be the size of a sweet potato. Go figure! I cannot schedule it for sure until she starts her new job, so on November 16 I have to call and get it all scheduled. I am so excited to find out what my little stowaway really is... a little Glenn or a Zoey.

I'm on cloud 9 right now.

  1. I just gave birth at StoneCrest 10 weeks ago. The staff there is amazing! I have nothing but great things to say about them. You have nothing to worry about.

  2. YAY - I'm so excited about little Zoey or V!! If you have a little Zoey I am saving all my clothes from Hannah just for you. It is a combo of mine, E, Danni's, Rosa's and I bet others as well. There are TONS of clothes you are more than welcome to have! If not, that's cool too.

  3. Hope! You are so sweet, I'd love them! I know how little ones can be... they grow like weeds and only get to wear some things once! :) I'd be delighted to take all those clothes when you're done. Thanks!
