The cat is out of the bag part duex

So the cat is out of the bag to my Dad on what the sex of Peanut is....my grandmother (his mother) accidentally said something while she was on the phone with him!! We are a little disappointed but we kind of knew that it was bound to happen. The only thing we wish is that it had been either myself or Matt that slipped up and told him because then we would still get his reaction. We know it was an accident and my grandmother was so upset with herself....there is no reason to be upset. We still get the surprise of what she will look like when she gets here in May and meeting her for the first time!!

So.....the blog will not have to be in code words anymore. Although Peanut is still one of my favorite nicknames and I will still refer to Madelynn as Peanut some.

On a happy note....we got all the results back from the genetic tests that we chose to have completed and everything is great. Madelynn passed with flying colors!!! We elected to have some additional tests that are offered not because we have a history of anything but because we just wanted to be prepared. Since I work with children with varying syndromes and chromosomal disorders....I just wanted to know what I was getting into in case I needed to start researching certain specialists!! Miss Maddie is a miracle from God and so far she is checking out to be perfect!!!

We go on Monday (Dec. 21) for the Level 2 ultrasound that will look at all of her anatomy to make sure she is measuring the way she should. It will check for heart defects, kidney size, etc. We are very excited to see her again and see how much she has grown!!!

I will post another picture of my belly this weekend....still no real bump....sorry to disappoint. I know that I am going to wake up one morning and see a big difference. Most people I tell still don't even know or believe that I am pregnant because the bump is not there. I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts because I know that it will come and by the end I will be ready for the bump to go away!!

Hope that most of you have gotten our Christmas card!!! We love receiving Christmas cards in the mail. Wishing you and your family and wonderful Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!
