Es Una Nina!

So as we suspected all along, Baby Rhino is actually a RhinA! Intuition I guess, but from the very beginning we both agreed that we thought Baby Jaquez was going to be girl.
At 17 weeks, we went to First Peak Ultrasound in Oak Park. They specialize in ultrasounds just to tell you the sex. That, and trying to sell you useless merchandise like DVD recordings of the entire experience set to music of your choice. Needless to say we paid the minimum fee for the basic ultrasound. It took awhile for the ultrasound tech to be able to say either way because apparently Rhina likes to sit Indian style. The tech had me try going to the bathroom and changing positions to get her to uncross her legs, and she finally did, but just for a second. Though she said she was 99% sure, we decided to wait to share the outcome with the world until after the official 20 week, in-depth ultrasound.
Last Friday, the tech was able to instantly confirm Rhina status. She also confirmed that Rhina is growing perfectly in spite of having single umbilical artery. We have a level 2 ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday so they can get a closer look at the umbilical cord. I'm sure she's in the 75% of entirely normal births with SUA since she is developing perfectly and I have no other risk factors for abnormalities, but better safe than sorry. And at least the level 2 ultrasound should be pretty exciting - ultrasounds are always fun!
