Well, after much debate, we decided to find out the sex of the coming Bun. From here on out Bun will now be known as Cinco! Mauro was running late to the appointment because of work and rainy day traffic, but as soon as he walked in Amali yelled out to him "Daddy, I am having a brother!" We both got tears in our eyes as we were overjoyed with the news, and especially Amali sharing her news too. CINCO!!!! Everyone is so excited to carry on the wonderful name. Joy Joy JOY! He was more then happy to share with us his gender, spreading his legs wide open for most of the sono. I noticed when we first got the sono going the baby has a penis! But didn't say anything until the tech told me for sure at the end and highlighted it for our viewing. Just like we thought, a boy! She also mentioned numerous times and even told Mauro again when he came in the room, that he is an energetic and active baby! He wasn't still or sleeping for any of the sono. And he weighs in at a whooping 10 ounces.
A few things we learned at the appointment. One, he is measuring small so the due date was pushed back a week. They said May 13 but I feel like it will be sooner. And not sure why they picked that day. "Due dates" frustrate me. But maybe that gives us some extra time to get stuff done! Next, he is breech. Normal but he needs to turn around before there is no more room! Last, my placenta is low lying, which has to change before I deliver or it will be a c section. It can do this, so we will do another sonogram at 28 weeks to make sure both the breech positioning and placenta have corrected themselves. Other then that, our baby boy is healthy and happy! Having a son feels right. We are beyond excited.
So to our little Mauro Rodriguez V- you are so loved!
