Baby #2 Update & B's Latest Stats

I've been waiting on doing this post until I got the ultrasound pictures scanned... BUT... I still haven't done it so...

Since Brighton had soft markers for down syndrome, I opted to do the First Screen testing with this pregnancy. I barely made the deadline for the ultrasound and got an appointment on the last day, 13 weeks and 6 days. Since I've felt like this baby is a boy, I asked the tech to look for gender. She said, "It's really too early to give you a definite answer, but if I had to put money on it, I would say boy for sure". From what I saw, it definitely looked like a boy, so I'm going with that!

It's a BOY!

I'll go in for the real anatomy ultrasound towards the end of January. There were no markers for downs, and my blood work all came back normal. Yaaay!


I made blue french toast for Braden in honor of the news :)

I also went in for my routine monthly check up, everything looks great, and I only gained 1 pound (the pound I lost the month before :)

Brighton also had her 15 month check up. Her stats:
  • 22 pounds 8 ounces - 40th percentile
  • 32 inches - 80th percentile
  • Head, 18 1/2 centimeters - 75th percentile
Towards the end of her visit, Dr. Vergara says "She's an active, dramatic one, isn't she?" How could you tell?

PS. Any boy name ideas? We're going to need help.

  2. So exciting! Little boys are so sweet, and love their mommies dearly!
    As far as names go...we had issues with that too, so I'm not a great help. You could always name him Braden! Or I think Braden recommended Dirk on our blog. So since we didn't use it, it's still up for grabs! ha! ;)
