Appointment update!

We are home from our x-rays, ultrasound, and dr's appointment. Our OB appointment got cancelled and rescheduled for next week, but we had to see a different dr for my ankle.

The ultrasound went great. Heartbeat was 155, 4 chamber heart, 3 vessel cord, perfect spine, 5 fingers on each hand etc. Everything on baby looked great. The tech was trying to find out the sex for us, but said it might be hard to tell if it wasn't a boy since we are a little early (18.5 weeks instead of 20). So he tried and didn't see anything. I said "I don't see a pee-pee, if it was a boy, we'd see a pee-pee right?" and he said yes. He looked again & again and couldn't find a pee-pee.

I said "so...it's a girl?" and he said "I think so" I said "I need a percentage" and he said "80%" and he also told us we could come back in 10 days and he do another u/s for free to verify the gender for us, but he then was calling the baby "her"!! So ...

ITS A GIRL!!!

On to the not to good news. I fell on the driveway on Sunday and hurt my right foot/ankle. I had x-rays this morning. We went to see Dr. Z to see if it was a sprain or what. He felt my leg and asked me to tell him when/where it hurt. Then he said he had already looked at the x-rays and I have a spiral fracture on the bone that goes over my ankle on the outside (not sure what that bone is called).

So I'm in a boot & on crutches. I'm supposed to keep my foot elevated as much as possible for the next few days & NO pressure on it. Then on Tuesday we have our OB check and they'll re-do the x-rays & check the swelling & pain. This type of fracture should heal itself without any surgery or anything but we'll have to watch it.

Stephanie - this picture is for you so you can see my boot. I'll have to have Justyn take my 18 week belly picture with all my gimpy gear (crutches and boot) Just so you can all laugh at me! ha!

I'm beyond annoyed and frustrated that I actually have a fractured bone. But when it all comes down to it, I'm relieved that that's the worst of what has happened. We have been so immensly blessed with our 2 healthy, happy boys, and another healthy pregnancy/baby. I'm so thankful for a wonderful husband who should win father/husband of the year (yes that's you babe) and I'm thankful we have everything that we need!! Home, health, food, love and each other!

Now this whole "GIRL BABY" thing just needs to sink in!!
