To Peek or Not to Peek??
Well, Thom and I are on our way to the airport to head out to GA for the big 20wk ultrasound. This is the uktrasound where All the measurements are taken of the baby to make sure he/she is growing on track. It's also most famously known as "The Gender Screening" because this is when we could find out if we are having a boy or girl! I've said all along that I don't want to know this time around (we did find out with Brynlee) so I hope I can stick to my guns! Although it would be fun to know...and you can argue that it might help me feel closer to this baby that I can't carry...I think a surprise would be fun. I just feel like everything about this process has been so predictable and unnatural, from the start of meds, to ovulation day, to the "date of conception" (retrieval day). Having a surprise could be a nice little moment for Thom and I to enjoy together, with no science or manipulation involved. Just Gods plan for our lives, presented to us in that moment of excitement andand joy. I guess there's also a part of me that craves that birth moment that you see on tv when the doctor shouts "it's a..." and tears of joy start flowing. I sort of got robbed of that dream last time around so I'm hoping this will be my big moment. Well see! Anyways, I'll update more when we return from our, once again, speed trip to GA. Please pray for a healthy baby and a safe trip for Thom and I (being 9/11 is not helping my nerves!) Thanks for reading and for all the support!
