Without much further ado, here are the first sneak peeks at our newest addition, "Little Sprout"!
** I blurred out my personal info like name, DOB, and facility because you never know who's looking...***
We had our 2nd ultrasound this morning since the first one didn't yield much and the heartbeat was low. With the spotting I had, they just wanted to do an extra confirmation. Little Sprout was definitely bigger this week and even though I didn't actually see the flickering of the heart this time, they were able to capture a heart rate on the monitor and it's a healthy 133 BPM so that was fantastic! They also said they can hear it this early too, but they don't turn the sound on the monitor until 12 weeks, so we didn't get to hear it but I definitely thought it was cool that it was possible this soon. The doctor said that Little Sprout also had perfect growth over the last week and is right on track so that was really good to hear. No more spotting or cramping, and while I'm not out of the woods yet, things look really wonderful so I definitely praise God for that.
Also, and we don't know for certain, but according to that placenta theory I posted about a week or two ago, it looks like we might have more blue in our house. The yolk sac, which I was told turns into the placenta, was on the right side which supposedly indicates a boy. I'm holding out hope for a girl, but unless the placenta changes position and/or this theory is wrong, I'm looking at a house full of boys. Lord, have mercy on me...
Lastly, they moved my due date back yet again. My official due date that is for sure sticking and will not change unless they magically show that their measurements are off by astronomical proportions is... February 7, 2011. So, I'm currently 6 weeks and 4 days along. The last couple weeks sure have felt long getting bumped back a couple days each time, haha!
Oh, and this is completely off topic, but I also wanted to let you know that Aaron had a job interview on Wednesday with a company in downtown Seattle. He met with the Director of Project Management as well as the VP of Operations (which the PM department is under) and they were very impressed with him. Aaron said he felt the interview went really well. He got a call back from the agency that had placed him for the interview and the hiring company had told them that they want Aaron to come back next week to meet with their Senior Project Manager and the CEO of the company!!! WOW! We are pretty confident that if all goes well with the CEO and SPM next Friday that they will offer him a job. I sure hope that this is Aaron's break! This would be such a wonderful thing for him to be working again and especially with baby #3 on the way, this is just huge for us! Once again, a testament to the fact that God truly answers prayers and will continue to provide. I just feel so lucky and blessed right now! I'll make sure to keep all of you posted as I hear more. :)
Happy Friday!
