Here it is...

Subchoronic Hemorrhage is still there! :0( Good news, is that it doesn't seem to be causing any issues. Will continue to monitor it. We do have a low lying placenta that is on top of the cervix that they said they felt would continue to go up and not cause a concern. The hemorrhage apparently leaked into baby amniotic fluid at some point and baby swallowed it. This has caused some warm spots to show in the umbilical cord. Other causes if not caused by hemorrhage would be an infection (but other baby doesn't have it so they don't think it is that) or possible Cystic Fybrosis. I am a little worried about it, but Dr. said we will check next month to see if it is still showing warm, but she was 98% positive she said that it was from the hemorrhage and would take care of itself.

Now the news you've all been waiting for...

We are officially team....

BLUE!!!! There are 2 winkies in there! I am feeling a little sad about this, but am recovering. I really REALLY wanted a little girl, as did my whole family as the grandkids have been very boy heavy. My mom will now have 5 grandsons and 1 niece. I was hoping a little girl would help my mom bond with babies more since she LOVES to buy little girl stuff. My niece is definitely more spoiled.

We are now continuing the great name debate, but pretty sure Baby Boy A will be Andrew Thomas (Thomas was my dad's name, who passed away in 06) and we will call him Drew. Still debating Boy Name B!

Heads were measuring in the 80th percentiles for singleton's!

Go team blue! As a member I can say it's super duper awesome, but my kids are the first grand babies on both mine and my wife's side so there weren't any existing gender biases.

I should have added to my original post- I hope the subchoronic hemorrhage resolves safely and quickly!

I hope next months check up shows that all is well. We're team blue too (and yes I was sad for not getting a girl the second time around). But I love my boys and wouldn't trade it. Love the name Drew!

Congrats on two good boys! So fun!

Best wishes for next month's check up; things do have a wonderful way of resolving themselves so often, so let's just believe this one will resolve itself right up!

Congrats! I haven't had a chance to respond to your other thread, but I agree with everyone - you are going to love those boys so much that it will be unimaginable for them to be anyone else. They were meant for you and S and you for them.

I hope the hemorrhage resolves soon. So sorry that has continued to be a source of concern.

I hope that next month's appointment shows that everything is on the right track and that the hemorrhage resolves just as the dr has predicted. You all will be in my thoughts.

Also, I totally get it about feeling a bit of loss over not having a girl. Take the time that you need to process your feelings. I will also say though that boys are totally awesome! Heck, babies are totally awesome! You and your wife are going to love those little guys to pieces. Just you wait! I am so excited for you!

Oh, and I also love the name Drew

Think of how far you've come since the initial onset of the hemmorage! I'm so happy for you two. Here's hoping that things look even better next month.

As far as having two boys, I think it's great. But, really, your feelings on this are one of the reasons that we decided to find out the sex at the anatomy scan. We wanted time to process our feelings and reactions, whatever they were to be, so that we had nothing but love and excitement in that delivery room. Take the time to work through things; you'll get there.

Congrats on the mostly good news. I hope that everything is cleared next month, but I'm so glad to hear that your babies are growing and healthy. In response to disappointment about having boys...my wife was shocked and a little disappointed when we found out we were having a boy. We were going to be team green, but she couldn't stand it and we found out at 20 weeks. I also had a friend that was very disappointed to find out she was having a girl. Of course my wife and friend love their babies now and wouldn't change them if they could. With that said...of course you will love your little guys, but I hope you know that you can be honest about your feelings here without judgement and talk about disappointment with not having a girl.

Hope everything resolves soon for you and that everyone is healthy and well.

I know it can be a little disappointing if you were hoping for a particular sex. I admit, I had a 'mothers intuition' all through the first tri that we were having a boy and whilst it wasn't an issue either way, I still felt deflated at first when we found out we were having a girl.

I've heard boys are less trouble than girls in the long run compared with the mind games and the mood swings that will eventually kick in (imagine four women in the house with synced cycles and you're down to the last tub of ice-cream ... chaos!)
