Last week Shan went in for her 20 week ultrasound. We were excited because we wanted to know the baby’s gender. Also since Shan takes seizure medication, we just wanted that piece of mind that everything was fine.
I’m pleased to report that both Shan and the baby—which I’ve nicknamed “Rambo”—are both completely healthy. The ultrasound doctor verified the due date was indeed October 22, and said we have a beautiful baby girl. That’s right, we’re going to have another girl!
I realize having a girl makes my “Rambo” nickname a little strange, but no matter, Shan and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have another little girl running around the house.
Of course once I shared this news with family and friends, the joking began in full earnest! Several people pointed out immediately on my Facebook wall that I now get to pay for TWO weddings. Another friend reminded me that the weddings weren’t the problem… it’s all the boyfriends leading up to those weddings that will be the hard part.
Ugh. I really don’t want to think about all that just now. I realize they grow up fast, but let’s get Rambo born first, okay? ![]()
At any rate, Shan and I would like to thank all of you for your prayers that everyone remains healthy throughout the pregnancy and birth. Keep those prayers coming… thanks!
