It's a girl!!

We had our 19 week scan today. It was a big one because it was the scan where they told us the gender of our little growing bub. And as you can imagine, based on the title of this post, we're having a girl! Brandon and I had thought that was the case (not sure why) and everyone else had said it would be a girl too, so we weren't all that surprised. And while I was secretly hoping for a boy, I am certain that a girl will be loved and welcomed just as much as a boy.

Miss H didn't want to sit still very long so the photos didn't come out all that well. But it was very comforting to see her little heart beat. I'm not feeling any kicks or anything yet so I just have to trust mother nature and assume that everything is going the way it is supposed to. Today's scan was a good opportunity to put my mind at ease :-)

The sonographer warned us that I may need another scan at 32 weeks because apparently I have a low-lying placenta (only 1cm away from cervix). That can obviously change a lot as my uterus grows over the coming weeks, but she said if for any reason it is still in the same position closer to my due date, the obstetrician won't allow a natural delivery and will say I have to have a c-section. I'm not at all upset by that - so long as bub is healthy, I'm happy!!
