It is a Girl!! at least for now and the U/S technician seems to be pretty sure about it. Apparently the baby cooperated and showed us exactly what she was; although I can't yet figure it out myself on the U/S pictures. We are going to name her Corina (or Corinna, still deciding on the spelling) after my baby sister who became an angel when she was 10 months old. She was a blessing to our family and although she physically stayed with us for a short period time she lighted our life with her golden smile; and that had lasted for a life time.
We are both really excited for our little Corina and for knowing that all the anatomical measurements are perfect as Mr. Ultrasound said. He even recommended to keep doing what ever I was doing because everything looked good. It is such a relieving feeling to get the assurance that everything is perfect as it should be. We need to go back in 4 weeks for a 3rd ultrasound because the baby didn't want to show much of her heart and they couldn't get those anatomical measurements; but we expect everything to be perfect as well. We have heard her heart and every time it sounds beautiful; a strong beat with a regular fashion.
It is hard to understand that when we were born there were no ultrasound technology available and the Dr. relied only on some type of instrument they used to hear the baby's heart beat; I think I would have gone crazy. In spite of knowing that the human body is perfect and does perfect things, pregnancy can be a bit stressful and it is sometimes hard to just let it go and put everything in God's hands. He does perfect things so I have nothing to worry; but as a perfect human I do want answers to everything about my baby and I have learned that I just need to let it go.
We also the good news that my placenta is now in normal position, it is not low any more and I can start exercising and doing some other normal things again. I am starting to show and to gain some weight so I do need my exercise routine; although I did enjoy a month of relaxing and taking nice walks. I am also thinking on joining a prenatal yoga class; they are focused on strengthening the body for labor and are big advocates a medication free labor which I am a big fan of, so I am excited of learning everything about it to be able to guide my Dr. when the time comes. Some might think I don't know what I am talking about but I do want a completely natural birth with no anesthesia; I am hoping to inherit my mom's ability to delivery babies in no time!!
I am including a video taken at almost 12 weeks on Dec 6th. As you can see quite an acrobat. She is already training for the next race!!
