Scheduled 1st Dr. Appointment and Ultra Sound!

First Ultrasound
Yay!! I was finally able to get through to the people at Maternal Fetal Medicine to have my ultrasound scheduled! Ok, well it seemed like forever because I was super anxious and impatient, but whatever... So, I go in for my first look at our Little Sprout/Sweet Pea on:

Dec. 20th at 10am!

Going off of the conception date, I should be around 6 weeks and 3 days, but I'm not for sure about that. They will be checking to make sure that the pregnancy is viable (that there is growth and a heartbeat) and calculate my due date. I'm so excited!!

Also, it will be interesting to see if the gender predictor thing concerning the placenta position is correct. The "theory" is that there is some kind of relationship between the placental position and the gender of the child. This is how it breaks down:

97.2% of male fetuses had a chorionic villi/placental location on the right side of the uterus
97.5% of female fetuses had a chorionic villi/placental location on the left side of the uterus

**Note with this: trans-abdominal ultrasounds are a mirror image so if it appears on the left in your ultrasound picture, it's actually on the right IRL. This doesn't apply to trans-vaginal ultrasounds.**

So, I pulled out my old pictures from the boys, and it was correct with them. Looks like with almost everyone who was polled on my BabyCenter forum for this also showed that this was correct for their past pregnancies. I'm not going to rely on it to determine gender for me for sure, but I thought it was an interesting theory nonetheless. It's a good way to pass the time. :)

Only 11 days and counting down until we get to see our 3rd baby! I'm so excited! I hope to announce the pregnancy by the end of the month once I've met with my midwife!
