We had our ultrasound today and while it wasn't a surprise to us, we were kind of disappointed to find out that we are going to have yet another boy. We had all hoped for a girl to even the numbers out a bit.This time I had a 4D ultrasound and it was a lot of fun. The doctor gave us a CD of all of the pictures. Most are not usable as he must have taken 10 pictures trying to show us it was a boy. I finally had to tell him that I didn't see what he was talking about and asked him to just tell me what it was.
As soon as the doctor put the machine in 4D mode the baby (who doesn't have a name yet) put his fingers in his mouth just like Joey (still does). I am going to need a good supply of pacifiers mailed to me if I am going to keep the fingers out of his mouth. Most all of the pictures have hands near or in his mouth.
When we got home and told Joey and Jordan they both expressed sadness that the baby is a boy. Joey told me, "Mommy, I am sad that your baby is a boy." When I asked him why he said, "We have to many boys." I couldn't help but laugh.
We were really hoping for a girl. Audrey and I were really going to enjoy dressing and doing hair. I guess we will have to adopt now. :-)
My due date based on my last two ultrasounds is December 25th. Praise the Lord the myoma has gone and should not cause any more problems.
Please pray for Becky Jackson (another BIMI missionary wife and best friend) as she goes in for surgery Saturday morning at 8:00 am. She has to have a hysterectomy. She is expected to be in the hospital until Monday afternoon.
Cassy, What an awesome ultrasound!!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to being a tad disappointed about not having a girl. When I was pregnant with Titus, we also hoped for a girl. Then after WE were "done" having children, the Lord gave us Emily. Just the Lord reminding us who is truly in control! :)
Yes, yes... why adopt?? Maybe next time you'll have a girl! :):) I also have a few fibroids (if that's what a myoma is)...and mine didn't do anything while I was pregnant. I guess sometimes they can grow from the hormones...but nothing happened for me. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are done after this one. I wouldn't mind having a few more, but Jason is done. I wouldn't want to end up with more boys either. The amount of baby clothes, after the 0-3 month size, that I have would not sufficiently clothe another boy. I also have a great risk of bedrest and that just is to much when you live in a foreign country. I am going to have my tubes tied after this one. If God wants us to have one more than it will have to be a miracle.
