IT'S A GIRL!!!

Wonderful news! Our baby girl is having a girl....no boy parts at all! We were convinced once the labia lines were pointed out! Courtney is measuring one week and one day ahead which puts her at 15w1d with a due date on 3/25/10. So now I am not sure how to post. Do we change the due date and skip a week, or is the baby just a big one?! If she is due earlier, she may be born on her mommy's 22nd birthday! Courtney is naming her Nevaeh Grace (This is Heaven spelled backwards....because she is a true gift from God!)... and I am nicknaming her Vaeh! She is measuring 5.5" long from crown to toes! All bones are forming properly....no cleft pallet, closed spine, 2 arms, 2 legs, 10 fingers, 10 toes! The lovenox shots are doing it's job...the blood flow to and from the baby is perfect. The chambers of the heart are formed with a beat in the 150s. The umbilical cord is perfect and the placenta is in a good spot (not near the cervix)! YEAH!

Ultrasound Tech was wonderful. She spent about an hour with us. Courtney left with way more than the original package offered....62 (2D and 3D pictures), 4D Video to music and a brown/pink bunny with Vaeh's heartbeat sound inserted inside! Courtney drank a Mountain Dew before her appointment in order to "wake up" the baby....She moved the whole time!

Now I will have to change my blog colors from blues and browns to pink and browns! I had myself convinced she was having a boy......while secretly wishing for a girl....In actuality, I am completely happy she is having a healthy baby, period!


The white lines between her legs are the labia folds. The other thing is the umbilical cord!

The ultrasound tech pointed to this area and stated that nothing was floating up, another sign of a GIRL!

I love this side view of Nevaeh! You can't see her head that well, but you can see her arm, body,umbilical cord, thigh, leg and foot! See how she is pressing on the wall of the uterus with her foot? Courtney feels those movements sometimes!

Another between the legs shot! I guess boys do not have those white lines present! She is all GIRL!

I love this profile shot! Look at the perfect nose and mouth!

This is one of my favorite 3D pictures because you can see Nevaeh's whole body from head, hands to toes!
This is a picture of a perfectly formed spine! What a relief!





When you play this video you will hear Courtney's sister Caitlin say:
"Is that pose one of the pictures?"
"She moves alot doesn't she!?"
"Are you POSITIVE that is just the umbilical cord!?"

Aunt Caitlin could not be at the ultrasound because she had clinical classes for college to attend. Maybe next time!
