Baby Pics

At almost 22 weeks, I've had three ultrasounds and I have another one next week. Surprisingly this is less than normal for me. With the last two, I was getting weekly ultrasounds from 14 weeks to 22 weeks to make sure that my incompetent cervix didn't rear its ugly head. So far, no issues again! Must have just been some freak occurrence with Jocy. I know with most pregnancies at home, ultrasounds happen about twice. To confirm a pregnancy and the big 20 week one. But in Istanbul, it seems to be a regular part of your OB checkup. Heck, I'm still shocked about how long my appointments even last!!!

 Last week, I went in for my 20 week appointment. I was expecting the big ultrasound. We already knew we were having a little girl, but I was looking forward to making sure before I started shopping. To my surprise, it was just the usual ultrasound. Listened to the heartbeat, do a few measures, nothing big. Then afterwards, Dr. Genim informed me that a specialist does the BIG ultrasound. I was a little freaked out that something was wrong, but no it was just standard procedure to make sure that the baby was as perfect as she thought. They really like to try to catch anything that could possible come up. I'm still a bit surprised, all my test came back great, but I will go with the flow and appreciate the great care I'm getting. I didn't ask if he spoke English tho….

 So I'm going to share our baby girl's latest pic. We still don't have a name picked out. I think we are down to a Top 3 list, but I hope to have one picked soon. If only we could have two seconds to sit down and debate about it. So it might not be until July. :)
