Ahhhh!!! I've so been lagging on this blog! I was sooooo tired my first trimester that besides going to work, playing with Trixie, and wondering when my next nap will be... all I wanted to do was sleep! I'm getting my energy back (at least I have way more energy now than I did before)!
I think it's been about 6 weeks that I haven't written and so much has happened! On January 3rd, Eric and I had our first doctor appointment. We got to see our baby for the first time. It was so cool to see arms flying everywhere and legs kicking up a storm! Eric even shed a tear he was so taken back. "That's our baby!!!"
After our appointment, the doctor office called us back and made a follow up appointment for the following Tuesday. I was a bit concerned that he wanted to see us again so quickly, especially with the placenta previa issue he had told us about that I had. Grandma and Grandpa Ortiz came with us to that next appointment. They did the tummy ultrasound and drew the first part of labwork. My mom was soooo excited to see the baby and whew, Coconut really put on a show for her doing leg presses, putting it's hand so dramatically on top of it's forehead. It was pretty funny. The ultrasound tech was going to tell us the sex of the baby, but the umbilical cord was wrapped in between it's legs. Does this mean coconut is being stubborn already? Haha oy vey!
Fast forward a few days Eric and I were getting impatient and really wanted to know if we were having a boy or a girl. I made an appointment with an ultrasound place that can determine the gender of our baby with 99% accuracy! I made the appointment for the very next day!!! So on tuesday the 7th... we found out... our baby Coconut is a GIRL!!! We wanted to keep it a secret and find out a surprise way to reveal it to my parents... stay tunes to hear how we did it!!! :)
