The anatomy scan was yesterday, and the technician, who has been doing this for almost a decade, said everything made her happy. (You know, the legal way to say everything looks good, but without giving any official diagnosis, since she’s the technician, not the radiologist.) All the measurements were coming up as perfectly where the kid would be expected to me at this point, which was cool to hear. The whole spine was there and beautifully in line and full. It was such a relief to see that specifically. Hands and feet and arms and ears and nose and eyes and eye lenses and lips are all there and proper, properly developed. They all are fully developed, and just will continue growing. Super exciting news.
And we still don’t know the gender. Determined we don’t want to mess with anyone else’s reactions about it, nor do I want to risk any depression for myself at a disappointment, so we stuck with finding out when the baby arrives in January. I’ll be flooded with hormones and chemicals to help me love and adore and care for this baby no matter the gender, so it’s the best time to find out the gender, one way or the other.
Thank you, God, for the successful anatomy scan. Please, keep me and the baby safe. Help us both to be well and whole. Help me to follow and pursue your will with confidence and with comfort and ease. Take care of us financially, please, and help us to ease our stresses and to trust fully in you and your will for us. Keep my husband safe, please. Make our next step obvious always, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
P.S. Now, if anyone asks what we’re having, I can say honestly that is looks like a cartoon T-Rex.
