Tuesday, Nov 17- Our Big Surprise!!!
We had another doctor's appointment today. We had another ultrasound to check the baby's growth, blood flow thru the brain, heart and fluid. Everything is looking good. Baby is still small but is growing. All the results from the amnio were in and we sat down with Dr. Collins to review. The genetic tests were all negative. Then he let us know the baby is a BOY!!! This was a suprise since the tech had told us 2 weeks ago that it was a girl. But you can't argue with the genetic testing. The doctor made it clear that a girl can't have the "Y" chromosome and this baby does. So, we are now waiting for Jacob Aaron to join our family. We are planning to call him Jake. The baby seems to be doing better. They did find that I have two blood clotting disorders. This isn't too earth shattering but Dr. Collins believes this could have contributed to the baby being small. I'm still on bed rest, blood thinners, PTU and beta blockers for the thyroid. Plus the baby aspirin and 3200 mg of folic acid.
