Ultrasound results....are you ready?

So when Ben got home from work this morning,I hauled him off with me to the get an ultrasound. And the results you've been waiting for?....Well, that depends on if you're ready to hear or not!
Here's what we learned. The baby is measuring to be closer to 37 weeks than the 36 I was judging. That's kinda good news. The other part of that is the tech estimates the baby to be just shy of 7 lbs now--and still has time to grow more. Boy, can you tell I'm looking forward to delivering another 10 lb baby! And the other exciting news? As of today, the baby is presenting breech--as in bum first. Not sure how I like that news. I don't know why I'm so scared of a C-section, but I'd rather deliver a 10 lb baby naturally! We'll see what's the option when I see the Doctor on Monday.
And of course, I'm certain that you all want to know if it's a Pink or a Blue future? Well, how do I break the news gently.....Um....The truth is ....We still don't know. Silly little baby! It's not a matter of not seeing, it a matter of not being able to see because the umbilical cord is still running between the legs. This baby is a good secret keeper! Even better than me! So, now you know as much as we know. Hope you're not terribly disappointed. And if you are, you'll have to get over it. (that's what Ben tells me, anyway.)
Merry Christmas...And God Bless Everyone.

Looks like you will have a fun surprise in a few weeks. C-sections aren't that bad. I had one with Molly(9lbs. 10oz) and had a better recovery than my other two born natural. Can't wait to hear the news!

I've had you on my mind for so many weeks, Sister Shining Star.

Did Joely tell you that we're in the same ward right now? Yup, we moved into our new house and I go to my new ward and guess who the Gospel Doctrine teacher is?? Elder Jeffrey!

I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes fabulous and we'll be looking forward to whether you have pink or blue in your future.

Love you sister!
