September 20

Is it a girl? Or could it be a boy? We have no idea, but Jennie's doctor has a "very strong suspicion" our baby will be a girl based on yesterday's ultrasound results.

Sunday's bleeding adventure might have been caused by a "ruptured blood vessel" in Jennie's uterus as it continues to grow and stretch (with no harm to Jennie or the baby). The doctor ruled out placental hemorrhaging, abruption, or previa. Jennie's placenta is healthy and attached high along the back wall of her uterus far from the cervix! Great news...

During the trans-vaginal ultrasound, Jennie saw 10 beautiful toes kicking at the sonogram wand on the LCD. Later, she saw a bent elbow while the baby's humerus and femur were being measured. My only regret is that the doctor was unable to print off one of those little black and white photos for us to proudly display (we definitely must get one at the October 25 visit). On my desk at work, the most recent photo I have is from the 9 week ultrasound.

Jennie's next ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday, October 25th (20 weeks, 1 day).



Tonight is the home opener for the Nashville Predators pre-season hockey versus the Atlanta Thrashers. Yesterday the team sent back 8 players to their respective Junior teams.
