May is going to DRAG!

Rate this Entry
I have my first ultrasound on Wednesday. I'm pretty certain my dates are right, but I want to make sure everything's okay and that there's only one in there as I'm too short (and extremely short waisted) to carry twins to term. I actually worry about that, since my mom had twins and the NICU, bedrest for the last half of a pregnancy, and all the other high-risk-with-multiples stuff scares the crap out of me.

Monday the 12th I have my Panorama draw. Then it'll be another 7-10 days before the results come back. Unless, of course, I get an inconclusive result, in which case I'll have to redraw and hope for a conclusive result in June. So, as long as everything goes according to plan, I should get to exit GD limbo by the end of May. This is going to be the LONGEST May ever!

I just want to know, at this point, one way or the other. The not knowing is torture. If it's a boy, nothing's going to change that, and I need to make peace with it sooner rather than later. If it's a girl, I want to celebrate and leave all this uncertain anxiety behind.

A friend of mine just had her third daughter this morning. Her third girl. After three boys in a row, she went on to have 3 girls in a row. No swaying, just naturally changed from all one gender to all another. I wonder if this could possibly happen to me? I mean, no matter what, we're done after this pregnancy. But I wonder if, after 3 boys, I could even possibly make a girl. Goddess, I hope so!

    Aw, that's SO sweet! The problem is that I've seen INCREDIBLE sways fail. It's rare, but it happens, and there are no guarantees that I won't be one of the exceptions to the rule. I guess the worst thing that could happen at this point is for me to be convinced that I CAN'T fail, and then to be blown away by a completely unexpected boy result. At least this way I'm somewhat prepared for it.

    About to do some yoga, and I'm glad that I came on to check here, first - sending all my good juju to you from this practice <3. Hoping so hard for you to get the news you dream of. Your opennness here is just so wonderful for all of us on this journey.

    If it's any consolation or reassurance about NICU's, my first was a 2 pound 28 weeker, and now, well, I wish he had a mute button and an off switch. Our NICU experience is definitely a part of our journey, but not as major a one as I *always* thought it would be.
