Genetics Test Day

Baby Plemons

13 weeks 3 Days

Today we did the genetics testing.  They did a sonogram and then pricked the finger for blood.  The sonogram tech said that Baby Plemons is growing as should be and everything looks just fine.  They combine the sonogram results with the blood work results and then establish the final analysis.  So it will be 7 to 10 days before we get the final results.  We are not worried.  Our faith and trust is with the good Lord above.

Baby Plemons was a wiggling away during the sonogram.  I could just watch him/her forever.  It truly amazes me the whole process of it all.  I just look at my stomach and am amazed there is a growing baby in there!  The sonogram tech asked if we were planning to find out the sex of the baby.  Of course we are.  I don't think I could wait a whole 9 months of wondering!  So she asked if we'd like to know what she thinks Baby Plemons is.  Heck ya we do!  She said it's to early to confirm for sure but that if she was a gambling lady she would put her money on Baby Plemons being a boy.  Then she zoomed in on what she believes to be a growing baby boy.  Then baby Plemons flipped over and there you see him above in the picture.  Again it's to early for confirmation but can you imagine...a boy!!  Oh boy, oh boy!!  Brian is 6' 6" bare footed.  He said that he went from 5'8" to 6'4" between end of his freshman year to sophmore year in high school.  Then by graduation grew another two inches and was skinny!  He didn't fill out till after high school.  I have all kinds of images of what our little boy will look like.  I am 5'6" so he will blow past me in height at like 13 years old, haha!  We might just have ourselves a little basketball player on our hands!!  And of course hopefully like horses (hopefully..better)!!  But we can't get to excited because it is early.  So no buying anything just yet because it will be January before we are far enough along for a confirmed result.

We have decided on how we are going to do the baby's room.  We actually decided this before knowing boy or girl.  We are going to do a rocking horse and country bear theme.  We are searching for a wooden rocking horse to buy then will put a brown country bear stuffed animal on it.  Then the rest of the room and baby things in a rocking horse/bears theme.  Then a pink accent if a girl or blue accent if a boy.  First thing first, is to clean out that room.  Right now it is our "junk" room.  We are fixing to get throw away happy!!   

So for now we wait for the Dr to call with the genetic test results and then for our Dec. 2nd monthly appointment.  It's all happening so fast!  

Stayed tune for more!
