Ummmm, wait.

So, in my last post I talked about our little boy having a rough time in embryo.  Well, he's not a boy anymore...We're having a baby girl!  It was kind of a funny process in figuring out the gender change.  My friend, the L&D Nurse did an ultrasound, thought it was a boy.  Then when I had the hematoma, the radiologist thought it was a boy, too.  Pretty solid for us to think that she was really a boy, don't you think? So we had our name and everything planned and set up for another little boy.  I know how to have a boy, Austin is definitely ALL boy and the thought of having another one was actually a little bit of a relief!  Haha, NOPE!  A couple days before my 20-week ultrasound, I started bleeding again.  Not nearly as bad as I did earlier, but it scared us enough to go into the doctor and request another ultrasound at the hospital.  After making sure that everything was okay, we asked the tech to, jokingly, check that our boy was still a boy.  She looked and was like "you're sure you're having a boy?"  I was like, "yes", and she told us not to paint the nursery just yet and that she thought our baby was actually a girl!  I was floored!  Then she said to wait for our 20-week ultrasound because the equipment they had in the clinic was better than what they had at the hospital.  Well, a couple days later we were at Dr. Watabe's office and had our ultrasound.  That's where we recognized our little Kaya Jane was truly a baby girl!  I guess what had happened was that her umbilical cord kept getting between her legs and made her look like a boy.  Weird, but funny!  For a couple days I felt like I had a little imposter in my belly, but as the time has gone by, we are TOTALLY excited for a little girl!  Scared to death of all the pink, but definitely excited!
So, sometime in the next 6-7 weeks, we'll welcome a little pink bundle of joy!  Kaya Jane Greiner, I know she's gonna melt my heart!
