Red lips...fingertips...
So it is official, it's a GIRL!
Although with the "family curse" I should have known! When I started thinking about it, how could I NOT have a girl?
- My grandfather Hickey had 1 brother, 6 sisters
- My grandfather Boulay had 3 brothers, 11 sisters
- Out of all my generation (cousins), there are 10 girls and 3 boys
- Of all the cousins that had or are having babies, there are 6 girls, no boys!
Alas....the next generation of family reunions will also be "pink lettuce" parties!
My sister's twins (due three days before me) are also girls.
Let the princess parade begin!!!
Although, being in the ultrasound clinic made me realise that I am just a bit smaller than the rest of the 19-week ladies, probably about 2 weeks of growth behind....but I am sure I will catch up very soon!
Also a note to all you ladies in NB, you are very lucky, since my hospital does not warm up the ultrasoud gel! They said it might foster bacteria growth....rrrrr.....
Here is the ultrasound, it pretty much looks the same as the 13 week one so I wasn't going to pay the $10 for the pics but they gave them to me. I like the foot one.
I have been practicing my mothering skills with my new buddy, Babo. He is an "uglydoll" that I bought a few months ago for my friend's baby and decided to keep. Here is his photo. Matt does not like him, but between you and me, I think he is jealous.
