It's Official ... It's a Baby CARLY!!!


Congratulations to everyone who voted "girl" in the poll ... you are right!!!

I went to Dr. C's office today for an ultrasound of my gallbladder because I've had a lingering pain just below my right rib cage now for about a month. Apparently gallstones are fairly common in pregnancies ... and thankfully I don't have one because the only solution is to have one's gallbladder removed. They also checked the kidneys and liver as well ... all good.

So we still don't know what the lingering pain is, but at least now we know what the baby is!!!

The woman doing the ultrasound asked me how far along I was and if I knew what I was having. After I told her the story about the shy, indian style sitting baby she said, "well, after we're done looking at your organs we'll take a peek to see what position the baby is in today."

I didn't tell her that the woman's theory from last week was 70% girl, because I didn't want her biased in any way when she looked at the screen.

"Congratulations! You are having a baby girl!" she said without hesitation. I asked how certain she was and she said 100% and showed me why. Typically they are looking for the "3 lines" associated with a positive female sonogram ... she said based on Baby Carly's position she could only see 3 dots. But none the less she is sure of what she sees ... and what she doesn't see.

BRING ON THE PINK!!!
