Heading into the "Worry Zone"

19 week appointment went well... didn't get a printed picture :( But I guess I shouldn't be complaining, not many get weekly ultrasound pictures... but she's looking good!

We finally settled out naming game... Timmy keeps saying that if he finds a different one in 3 months we're changing... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! LOL! I'm set on our name!!!

Aubrey Faith Montague

I love it... it was our pick last time we found out it was a girl... so it's implanted in my brain!

Now it's time to really relax.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that our doctor's appointment goes well this Friday and I get the thumbs up to take a road trip with my mom on Saturday to go see my cousin's and aunt... FINGERS CROSSED!!

But we are entering into that time where everything got thrown into a whirlwind last time... Thanksgiving will be 20 weeks... last time I went into the hospital at 20-1/2 weeks.... and then at 25-1/2 weeks we lost Timothy Joseph... so I will be a nervous-wreck, but will try my hardest to remain calm between Thanksgiving and the week after New Years.... Our next big milestone to hit, that the doctor said, is 25 weeks, and that's the Thursday before New Years Eve.... Time to pray and pray and pray... and think positive thoughts!

The Countdown Begins....

Went to see the head doctor this past Thursday... so I finally got to ask more questions... my main question: "I know I'm having a c-section, so is it scheduled, or do you wait for me to go into labor?"... his reply was that it would be scheduled, but I won't know the date yet... He will not let me go past 37 week due to the way my c-section was performed last year... there is fear of uterine rupture if the baby gets too big... So she will be arriving in March!!!

I came home after the appointment and was writing to my mom... that's when I realized... 37 weeks.... that means we only have 19 weeks left!!! and that's the max!!!! Could be sooner if I develop Gestational Diabetes... so lets all keep our fingers crossed that GD stays away... then he told us that he will make sure that she's "ready" to come out before he takes her.... my eyes widened... and I said, "Ready?? are you talking about another amnio?" his reply, "maybe".... oh boy!!!

Timmy nicely asked for me if I could take short walks... he said, "mmmm.... no... we want to be safe... but you can go for a walk at 36 weeks!!" my reply, "What? I'm not going to want to walk at 36 weeks!"... his reply..."u see my plan!"

Months are flying by... before we know it, March will be here... my next milestone to get to is 25 weeks, which is the day before New Years Eve.... so I will be celebrating a lot more than ringing in the new year!

I just made a "countdown chain" to hang in our living/dining archway... it'll be fun to see that chain get shorter and shorter.... scary that it's not that long to begin with... check it out...

GENDER.....

Well... even though it's a week before the anatomy scan... we got the 100% definite answer that

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

We are excited... Even though Timmy was hoping for a boy, I know that he will be wrapped around this little girls finger from the moment she comes into the world!!!
