At my last appointment to see how Lily is growing and to check her heart, the technician wasn't able to get all of the "photos" she is required to. Because I had gone for an ultrasound several times without accomplishing what the doctors wanted, they sent me to a specialist. This week I had an appointment with a Pediatric Cardiologist, who my OB said would "have more tricks" to checking her heart and an actual doctor would be completing the test. Everyone in the room was chuckling at the fact wherever the wand went to, Lily would kick or hit at the pressure. The Cardiologist would quietly say, "ok there is the full aorta" then a second later "and she has moved away again, I missed it!"...it was pretty amusing. After a solid hour of conducting an ultrasound, the Cardiologist released me their practice stating, "that little girl in there just won't sit still!". The cardiologist said that although they typically want pictures of the full aorta, they saw all the parts of it and everything looks healthy. Something about how when Lily is born, they might check her heart often and to not be alarmed. Is there an old wive's tale that if the baby is crazy active in the womb, they come out very calm? I hope so!! Haha.
I had two people ask me yesterday if I was having a boy...even my great friend, Courtneah said I won't buy Lily any pink for Christmas because she is still convinced she is a "Luke"! They both suggested I am carrying Lily low. JF suggested we inquire about it at the next appointment lol. Even if we had a surprise at birth, I am incredibly thankful either way...but I have always said I thought I was having a girl :)
JF and I had our first anniversary on Sunday. We went to The Melting Pot and he surprised me with a Pandora bracelet. It was wonderful! My Dad, the jokester he is asked me on Sunday "wait.. were you pregnant when you two got married"! haha...yes Dad, Lily has been in my belly for over a year!
I haven't taken too many pics lately, so I added a few pics of what we have together of Lily's room so far :) The first one is a little dark/yellow...sorry, it's that Florida sun!
