3rd Ultrasound Should be the ONE!

Dear Peanut...
We had another ultrasound last week at the hospital with the big, new machine...and well GUESS WHAT?!?! I'm sure you already know. We found out almost everything. But after our doctor's visit yesterday we discovered we need yet another ultrasound.

I understand keeping your privates underwraps...but seriously, your heart?!?! What gives baby? So in three weeks we're going to try again, two measurements are missing. And the only one I can remember at this moment is the fact that they can not get you in a position to see all the chambers of your heart. JoJean said she is not worried at this point because everything else looks good and you have a strong heartbeat, but we still need to check! At least this time I don't have to drink so much water.

And we caved at the hospital and decided to find out what you were...well the ultrasound tech said "well this could mean it's a boy, or it could just be it's umbilical cord." So thank you for keeping it a surprise. Daddy's convinced you're a boy, but I'm not so sure about that. Plus three different people have told me they were told they were having a boy and turned out to be a girl....

Another thing we need to talk about...I enjoy your kicking most days, it's a reassuring feeling. But I do not think it's appropriate for you to kick when the heart monitor is on my stomach :) Yesterday at the doctor's office every time JoJean tried to put the dopler on my stomach to hear your heartbeat you'd kick it away! Now I think you're just being difficult :)

So, I'm not ashamed to begin bargaining with you...this week your daddy and I began registering for your shower. Well, your daddy went a little crazy in the toy area and registered for every LOUD, flashy, toy there was. If we get any of these items...you can only play with them if the next ultrasound goes well. If it doesn't, I'm returning them and using the money to buy diapers! But I somehow have a feeling this is about where your mother begins to learn that she's really not in charge anymore.

On a different note, the house is coming along SLOWLY...hopefully we can paint this weekend, keep your fingers crossed on that one!

Rest well my little one...we'll be seeing your pretty little face in 3 weeks!

Love you
