Week 13

Well, a lot has happened since the last post... We had an ultra sound on Monday (hopefully we'll have the pictures to post soon) and though the babies looked great, we got some scary news.

Several years ago I had a cone biopsy after cancerous cells were found in my cervix. This procedure, along with the fact that we're having twins and my cervix was measuring short, caused some alarm in my OB. She was concerned that I may have an incompetent cervix, which basically means that I was a prime candidate for a late term miscarriage if surgery was not completed soon.

So off we went to a "maternal abdominal specialist." I didn't even know one existed, but they do. At the specialist it was determined that I am "ok" so we are very happy about that!!

We also discovered at the specialist that "Buzz" is not who we thought... Buzz is actually a girl...

We are naming her Claire Faith. Claire after David's grandma and Faith after David's mom's middle name. Unfortunately, "Woody" was not cooperating... So for now, we'll stick with that.

David and I were so happy that we went to BabiesRUs and bought our nursery furniture and a little onesie that says, "Daddy's little girl."

The next ultrasound is on Monday, June 26, so hopefully Claire will have a "real" partner (Thomas Benjamin or Avery/Lora Grace).

I'm glad to hear that all is okay. Claire Faith is beautiful. I can't believe you are able to tell gender already. That is so exciting! I saw your registry- love the bedding! Take care of yourself and get lots of rest.

wow, what a scare. i'm glad everything is ok. it is awesome to know that buzz is a girl already. i didn't know util i was about 20 weeks. i love the name claire faith, very pretty. i like buzz a lot too, but i'm not sure it would go over well in high school ;) hopefully you'll be able to tell which sex woody is next time.
