Jack's 9 month birthday/ First MFM appointment

The strange coincidence in dates continue. I was originally a little weirded out by it but maybe its just a sign that my Jack is watching out for us? Anywho, my first MFM appointment was yesterday which just happened to also be 9 months to the day that Jack was born. We were taken into the same room and had the same ultrasound tech as the day we found out about Jack's Dandy Walker 9 months and one week prior.

Thankfully, so far, baby seems to be developing properly as much as they can tell right now. I have a 16 week cervical check and the MFM will try to take a peek at the brain to see if the cerebellum is forming but really until 18-20 weeks we wont know for sure if baby has Dandy Walker. The MFM says its extremely unlikely to happen a second time but we're not exactly the best statistical parents you know. Anywho... after my 16 week check, depending on how my cervix looks I may be in quite often or only every 2-3 weeks.

My second regular OB appointment is next week already....ok so maybe time is starting to pick up a little bit.

Here is baby's first picture where she looks like a baby and not a gummy bear!  If you believe in the "nub theory", let me know what you think but I even more so think baby is a girl.

HB is 163 and so far my blood pressure is holding low at 117/77. Yay!

  1. I'm anxiously awaiting this gender scan so we can SHOP. I hate shopping, but I think we both deserve to go a little nuts. And I think the dates are no coincidence - Jack's looking out for you :)

  2. I agree - I hope the coincidences are because Jack is with you. I think that at times about my Petey too.
    So glad to hear everything is going well so far. I feel the exact same way about you...just sort of waiting on pins & needles until the anatomy scan. I so hope everything will be perfect with this little baby (girl?). ((Hugs!))
