Well, last Tuesday we had another ultrasound to check out how the cyst was doing as well as the baby. Mainly the cyst. The good news is, they couldn’t find the cyst! So, they assume that it’s gone. The baby is doing great though. He’s still stubborn and they could barely get a profile shot.

The finally got a vague one and he had his hand on his head with his knee up to his face. He’s head down too, yay! The doctor also said that he is still a boy, or a girl with testicles. Let’s hope he just has one gender though!

We have basically everything ready to go. I still need to pack a hospital bag for myself and the baby and Jamie is going to throw a change of clothes in my bag too. Only four more weeks until we’re full term so I guess I should really get on that!

Well, we had our third ultrasound of the pregnancy and the baby wasn’t so shy this time around as the first thing that was seen was that the baby is a boy!

I had a feeling it was going to be a girl the whole entire time, man was I wrong! Way wrong! That’s okay though because he is healthy and kicking away!

Everything else measured good as it did at the 19 week scan. They said he’s on the small/average side of sizing which is good. Cyst hasn’t grown any bigger at all. Another good thing!

Since everything is going well we won’t get another ultrasound for 8 weeks which will put us at 32 weeks! Ack! Can you imagine? This has just flown by!

So, there we have it! Come April (May if he’s stubborn!) and we are going to be welcoming Duncan to the family!

The winter is finally coming in with full vengeance.  It’s about five degrees and says it feels like -7 degrees. The next ten days are supposed to be like this with the warmest  being about 24. Ugh. I love the winter when it’s warmer but there’s only so much that wood stove will do! It was alright today though, the only thing cold on me is my toes.

These are the days when I miss being in California with the weather there. When the cold you have to deal with is 50 degrees. In Indiana 50 degrees is like summer!

On another note though, we only have a few days until the next ultrasound as well as Jeremy’s eye surgery. I hope all goes well with his surgery. Poor baby!

Well, we had our ultrasound this morning. The good news is that the baby is measuring great and that all the things they were able to check out are good. The real reason of the ultrasound at 19 weeks was to check on the cyst which is now 8cmx5cm which has gotten a bit bigger, or is just a different shape due to the expanding baby!

The bad news? The baby played stubborn and kept his/her legs shut tight and wouldn’t have anyone looking at the bits! Not to mention the umbilical cord was also between the legs! The doctor came in to have a look at the cyst and gave finding the gender a try. He said that he thinks he saw labia but didn’t want to say girl in case it was testicles! So, he says he is leaning towards girl but not certain at all.

More good news though is that since they want to keep an eye on the cyst size we get an ultrasound every month. The lady said that next ultrasound we may even get to look at the baby in the 3D one. Although, I find the 3D ultrasounds a bit creepy looking, it would be kind of neat to see our own baby like that.

We haven’t got the images from the scan up yet but once we do I’ll post them of course!

Now, it’s the countdown until January 5th when our next ultrasound is. Although I’m sure December is going to fly by with the holiday and all that! On to tomorrow, the doctor’s appointment where hopefully I don’t get yelled at for not having weight gain if there is none. The baby is weighing in at about 9 ounces right now! So all is well.

Tomorrow is the day we’ve been waiting for since around August 18 when we found out the great news of our pregnancy.

That’s right, it’s the second ultrasound, the one where, if the baby isn’t being shy, we can find out the gender!

So, the question is boy or girl? Of course we don’t care either way. Never have and it’s not going to change! In Jamie’s words, “All I want is a healthy baby with one gender!”

So, tomorrow at 9:40am we get to go in and see the tyke for the second time. We’ve been counting down since we got our date at the first ultrasound. 7 weeks has flown by and I can’t believe we’re already here!

Nervous? Oh hell yes I am. Hoping everything is fine with the baby. Hoping my cyst didn’t get bigger so it is left alone. It would be fantastic if it just went away actually!

This Thursday we will be officially at the half way point, 20 weeks. Mind blowing to say the very least!
