At the ultrasound this morning, the technician and the doctor were in complete agreement - we are having a girl! The plan is to name her Charlotte JoAnn Stringer. We're thrilled, but definitely would have been happy either way. Looks like Corey's premonition was correct! My coworker, Kathryn, also was sure it was going to be a girl.
The baby looked perfect on the ultrasound. We saw all of her limbs, all of the chambers of her heart, the ventricles of the brain, her spine, both kidneys, fingers, toes, the umbilical cord, and all sorts of stuff. She weighs about 10 ounces and is right on target in terms of size and heart rate. I'm doing pretty well too - my weight gain is "perfect" and everything else looks good.
The things we need to consider now are cord blood banking, signing up for childbirthing and parenting classes, and picking a pediatrician. Our next appointment (not until mid-November) will be with another member of the practice (Dr. Scott) so that we can get to know everyone else who might be delivering our baby in the event Dr. Bell isn't able to be there.
