It's a Girl!!!!!!!!!
It's a girl!!!!!! I am so excited. We changed her name to Lillian Adeline . We are going to call her Lily. Originally we were going to name her Nealee. We have been set on this name for years. However after speaking to my sister on the phone, she told me my maternal grandmother's middle name is Lillian. I told her I love that name! Lily's middle name is Adeline which is my paternal grandmother's name. I told Justin I wanted to change her name to Lillian Adeline and call her Lily. It took some time to talk him into it. I told him how important that name means to me. My paternal grandmother passed away before Jays was born. My maternal grandmother is still alive and was very honored for us to name her Lillian.
Lily's heartbeat was 146. The funny thing is Jay's heartbeat was around this at this time. You can not tell the sex by the heartbeat. I don't believe in this. Mom and I went to the ultrasound together. When the ultrasound tech said girl, I was overjoyed. We are so blessed. Not only are we having a girl but the blot clot is gone and my placenta previa is gone. I still have the amniotic band. The band is attached from top to bottom and very thick. The band is pretty far away from Lily. She is not entangled in the cord at all. This is a good thing. Most bands are like jelly fish tentacles which is easy for the baby to get entangled in them. Since I have a thick top to bottom band, the doctor said there is a small percentage of her getting entangled. The doctor is still going to closely monitor the band. He took me off bed rest!!! Great news. I am slowly trying to get back into a routine. I find myself getting tired fast. I am starting to work out again. After today's little workout I realized how one month of doing nothing can get you out of shape. lol..
Mom and I have been shopping a little bit. Every little outfit I see I want it. lol.. I dress Jay up in stylish clothes and I thought he was expensive. WOW.. a girl is going to be very expensive. I have to control myself at stores. At least I buy things on clearance. I already have her nursery planned out. I know Justin is not going to enjoy this part. lol.. He doesn't care about girl décor at all.
Mom is flying home on Saturday. She has been a huge help!! We are so appreciative of her help!!!! We are going to miss her. I know Jay will. He loves his Nana.
