It's a...

Campbell is very excited to announce:








We are all very excited! We haven't 100% decided on names so we'll let you all know that soon.  Robbie and I were quite surprised because at the 12 week ultrasound the doctor was 70% sure it was a boy.  However, we are thrilled it's a girl because she can use all of Campbell's cute clothes and other girly stuff.  Plus, preemie girls do better than boys....just in case.

At the ultrasound, baby was measuring a few days ahead which is great news.  With my history (Campbell's lack of growth in the last two weeks before her birth and the pre-eclampsia) and my clotting disorder (Factor V Leiden) we would be worried if she was measuring behind because that could be an indication of problems with the placenta.

The doctor (MFM specialist) was so happy with how she is doing, that he doesn't need to see us for 6 weeks.  At that time, we'll have another ultrasound to check on her growth.  I go back to my regular OB January 4th for a regular check up.   Hopefully my blood pressure will still be good and everything will be normal.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support!
