Our last RE appt. was this morning at 7AM....can we say bittersweet??? I was so anxious and nervous about today's appt., not so much b/c I thought something might be wrong with sweet pea, but b/c I didn't want the appt. to be over, because I knew then that we were done.

The u/s went great Our little one was so sleepy and just would not move We were jiggling my belly and everything and she was having no part of it..... Her heart was beating away, so we know she's fine, but I was really hoping to see her wiggling around. I should've drank so OJ this morning

I will definitely drink some before my OB appt. JUST IN CASE I get an U/S

Here are some pics of our sweetie who is now measuring 8.3 weeks GROW BABY GROW!!!!

LOL, my baby never ever moves on the U/S...I think I've had 5, and he's always so so sleepy

I can't believe how big your baby is already - hooray for 8 1/2 weeks

Thanks hunnie!! The pics are really zoomed in She's only like 1.9 cm CRL

Such and AWESOME sight Brandi, im so happy for you!!!

[SassyMama]

That's so great Brandi!! Siera was always a lazy baby in utero. I drank OJ and ate a lot of candy before my big U/S and she would still sleep. You would think she wouldn't be as active now though..

[KCMomma]

That's soooo awesome!!! I'm so so happy for you Brandi!!!You definitely deserve this. I notice you keep referring to her as a her!! Mothers intution??? What a beautiful sight she is though!! How is the adoption process going?

[ca_dawson]

How adorable! I'm so happy for you!

Thanks ladies


Gwen, yes! Mother's intuition is saying GIRL all the way!!! Ever since I got my I've been saying it was a girl, so I did some research on the Shettles Method and according to that, if you have sex 2-3 days before Oing, in the missionary position, and the woman doesn't orgasm, then you will MOST LIKELY have a girl----> We did ALL of the above Oh yeah, and chinese gender predictor says girl too!!! Hehe!!!


The adoption is a work in progress...we're waiting on some paperwork from the FBI and then everything will be super official.....this is a crazy, anxiety filled waiting game It's all SO EXCITING THOUGH!!!!

[KCMomma]

I couldn't be more happy for you Brandi. You soooo deserve this!!!! I would have paid a million dollars that I was having a boy...when they said girl I about fell off the bed!!! So you just never know. I just hope you get a very healthy baby!!!!

[amazing_love]

[Cheryl_W]

[Jennifer-Jacob's Mommy]

so happy for you. how exciting!!! Yay, keep going little one/!!!

Thanks girls!! Gwen, I know anything is possible I was right the first time (and the DRs were telling me NO WAY because 70% of conjoined twins are girls) but mine still ended up being boys and I KNEW it from the moment I got my


I've always wanted a boy, so *if* this one ends up with boy parts, I will be totally thrilled

[MommyPoky]

Congrats! What a nice ultrasound machine! She looks amazing. My 8w ultrasound looked like nothing but a blob with a flickering heart. It's so cool you can see her so well
