We had our 20 week ultrasound last week and found out we are having another beautiful little girl! Well, the technician was 85% sure it is a girl. The little one was being very shy and modest. We didn't get a single good profile picture. Like Eleanor, this little girl also has an Echogenic Focus in the left ventricle of her heart. Basically it is a small build up of calcium in the heart. It is in no way a defect nor affects the heart in any way. It can be a soft marker for Down Syndrome, but since my blood work came back negative, I'm still fairly young and there doesn't appear to be any other markers, baby is going to be just fine. We do have an ultrasound scheduled with a specialist at the end of the month just to make sure, but I'm not worried. And I'm hoping we can be 100% sure it's a girl!
I know Kevin was the tiniest bit disappointed because he is really looking forward to having a son, but he really is excited about another girl. I was ecstatic. Sisters are the best and I'm so happy Ellie will have one so close. And bonus - we don't have to buy any clothes! Not that I won't, but at least I can limit myself.
Like Eleanor's name, we came to a consensus pretty quickly on a girl's name. Still trying to decide on a middle name, but Scarlett is most likely going to be the first name. My mom is stoked since she is a HUGE Gone with the Wind fan. I love that it sounds Southern and is a bit old-fashioned gone modern, like Eleanor.
