So I'm bored and just checking out some posts and realized I never posted what I'm having. It's a girl!!! [img] http://www.ichthyosis.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] I'm temporarily relieved. Of course my mind keeps circling about if my son was mis-diagnosed and it's not x-link and there's still a chance the baby girl could have it. So I try to change the subject (yes I'm argueing with my own mind) and then I worry she'll be a carrier yadda yadda. But for the most part I'm just having the most fun buying all the cute baby girl clothes. She's very calm and not kicking much. Which is making my friends mad that they can't feel her kick. I'm very uncomfortable and am not looking forward to August 9 months pregnant. My planned C-Section is August 29th. So the count down begins. I'm getting some ultra sounds done in 3-D. I'm going to see if I can scan them to the computer and I'll post them if so. She's been looking at the ultra sound everytime so far so hopefully we get some really cool pictures. Talk to you all soon.

I did that too. When I had the blood tests done with my third, and I said "YES< ITS A BOY!" secretly I was saying, if it's not a boy well, then what??? Anyway, ours had a penis so we knew it was XLI. Had it been a girl, I would have wondered just like you, carrier etc. At least if you stop and think about it, she has one of the best sorces of support she will ever need. She will have an uncle for her children that understand. She will have a mom that has walked in her shoes, with excellent ideas and suggestions. And, I know this is a huge jump to the future, but a wonderful understanding grandmother for her children. LOL Congrats again...how are you feeling otherwise? Do you have energy? Are you sick at all? LOL I just love comparing pregnancys..they are all so different.

How excited you must be getting! My Jena (just born Aug 12)couldn't wait for her planned c-section (was supposed to be the 16th)and made us go to the hospital a few days early! We were in & out of the hospital before her "planned" date! The docs & nurses at the hospital were very impressed with my healing-an upside to LI, I suppose! They asked me if I wanted to go home early (on Sunday, when I had Jena on Friday). Of course I did! I realized C-sections aren't all that bad, but I will still prefer the next one to be born "naturally"! The only thing that got bothersome was that I had to explain my skin condition to anyone who came into the room, each nurse, the docs, the anesthesia people, etc. I joked w/ my husband that it seems almost "scary" to have to explain it and spell it to medical personnel! [img] http://www.ichthyosis.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] I was tempted to pin a little tag on my gown so I wouldn't have to explain it so often!
