15 Week Appointment with Specialist

Sorry it's late, I normally update the day of my appointment, but with living out of boxes and working there's just never enough time. We finally got our desktops up and running. Very happy about that, I hate typing on my laptop keyboard, the keys are closer together and my fingers are used to this one. This would have been filled with mistakes otherwise, lol.

Wednesday I headed down to Atlanta. I wasn't sure about where I was going and how bad traffic would be there, but I got there about an hour early. So I parked in the parking deck and went inside and wandered around for a while. Got something to eat from a vending machine and then found my way to the doctor's office. My appt was at 2:30, but I ended up getting called back about 2:15, which was good, because by then I'd read all the magazines I could stand. My ultrasound tech was really nice, I asked her if we'd be able to tell what sex the baby was and she said Oh yeah! So I was excited. She measured the head, femur, humerus and abdomen, then took a peek between the legs and said Can you tell what it is? And I said, How can you not! There was definitely some goods there, so she said You're having a boy! I'm pretty sure my heart melted into a little puddle inside my chest, I was so happy and just relieved. It's not that I don't want a girl, but I just want a boy first, then a girl. I would've been happy either way, but I feel like I am owed what was taken from me, so it really felt like a blessing.

Off the subject, sometimes I just wonder if my little Brent was just too perfect for this world. I try my hardest not to be mad at God for taking him. I won't lie, I've cursed him a lot in the past year. I just hope there is a reason I do not understand yet to that huge question on why... Anyway, back to the appt.

So then my doc came in and checked my cervix and looked at it on the ultrasound. He said that everything still looks exactly like it should. I asked about the placenta, since I had placenta-previa last time and he said the placenta looked great and was no where near the cervix and I wouldn't have to worry about that. So that was a relief too. So, it was a great visit and I can't wait to see my little boy again in two more weeks!

I called Bobby as soon as I got in my car and told him, he was so happy, I could hear it in his voice. :o) My dad's work is on the way back from Atlanta so I stopped by and showed him the pictures, then I headed back to Cartersville. I went to Target and bought some little blue socks that were sports themed and put it in a plain white gift bag and went to mom's work. I got there and there's two other ladies that sit in the same room as her, so they were chomping at the bit when I handed mom the bag. It was pretty funny, they were like Open it already! So mom pulled out the blue socks and immediately hugged me and started tearing up. It was funny because one of the other ladies was tearing up too. She's a sweet lady... So then I went to Ingles to pick up some applesauce (we were having pork chops that night), and went to the bakery to get a message cookie and had the lady write It's A Boy on it. Then of course texted everyone in my phone book, lol. Anyway, here are a few pics for ya'll. Enjoy!
