Buttercup's Ultrasound Results

We had our 3rd ultrasound this afternoon and I am happy to say that the cyst is gone, just as I suspected.

It was so fun to see our little baby girl (yes, I finally believe it is a girl now, there is no doubt). She is such a mover. Again, for some reason my computer will not let me load the photos from the ultrasound. They were not all that great anyway. Part of it was 3D and she would not get her arms and legs out of the way of her face. When we were looking at her feet they were high above her head and she was wiggling her little toes. That was really cute to see. I just think it is so amazing that we can see our babies before they are born. Now I am getting really excited to be able to hold and cuddle her in just over 3 months!

We have decided on a middle name for her (but to all of you in the blog world her name will always be Buttercup), it is a combination of Nana's middle name and Grandma D's first name. Still working on the first name, but at least a middle name is a step in the right direction, right?

Thank you all for your prayers. Your love and support means so much to us.

Ultrasound

I have neglected to tell you all that I am having my level 2 ultrasound on Thursday. I will be sure to let you know what the results are as soon as I have them. I am not worrying about it, I am just so excited to see her again and to reconfirm that she is really a girl. I really still can't believe it. Maybe that is why I am having such a hard time choosing a name. I hope that a third person telling me that I am really, truly having a girl will help jump start my brain. I have never really loved the naming process, but I think girl names are harder. I like names that are not at all common, but not strange. I think that is hard with girls. Anyone out there have any ideas?

I'm a sucker for happy endings...

If you remember reading about 31 dates in 31 days on my blog earlier this year, you HAVE to check out this recent post on Tamara's blog.

Just so you know...

I am still waiting for a call from my doctor's office to get an appointment for my ultrasound. I really appreciate all your sweet (reassuring) comments you left on my last post. Thank you!

22 weeks

I do not love to post pictures of myself pregnant (or have then taken for that matter) so this may be it for this pregnancy, just so you know. :)

This is me today. 22 weeks pregnant.

Why is it that we have to get bigger in the front AND the back?

I had my 22 week appointment today. My doctor told me I need to have another ultrasound. A level 2 ultrasound at a different office because they found a cyst in the baby's brain. I don't remember what she called it so I can't Google it (thank goodness, I think I might freak myself out by doing so) to see how common it is. My doctor told me not to worry at this point, so I am not. She said that if we find on the ultrasound that it has started to fill with fluid then we will talk at that point about what is going on. Really, I am not too worried, but prayers would be appreciated. I will let you know what happens at the ultrasound. I do not have an appointment yet but it should be in the next couple of weeks.

Now, so you can leave my blog with a better image than me and my large belly...

I love this boy! He makes me smile. :)

Wordless Wednesday- It's about stinkin' time!

Ultrasound pictures, and a little musical number from The Three Amigos!

I had my ultrasound this morning. The whole family came. Ned was the only one that really understood what was on the screen, but they were all happy to be there. Lucky and Dusty were more fascinated by my bare belly than the monitor.

Here are some of the pictures we got a few weeks ago. Something was not working on my Photoshop today so I do not have any from today. Sorry.








The Three Amigos are very excited. They prepared a little song and dance for their baby, and to introduce our baby's blog name to you.



It's my new favorite song! We can't wait to meet you, Buttercup!
