A Big Day
We had the big ultrasound today. The tech told us that first she would check the organs and take all the pictures for the doctor, and then we could try to sneak a peek to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. After she took all her pictures for the doctor’s file, she started showing us different parts of the baby, starting with his head, brain, heart (you could see all four chambers!), umbilical cord, etc. Then she showed us the baby’s "goods." She asked if we wanted to make any guesses. I tilted my head sideways and said, "I’m still gonna guess boy." She said, "I think you’re right. See this right here? Little girls just don’t have this." She said she’s pretty sure it’s a boy, and right after she said it, he moved and bam! his goods were really obvious on the screen. We all laughed. Then she told us while she was trying to look at his various organs, he kept flipping around and flashing his goods. Well, he’s definitely not shy about being a boy!
Everything looks great. His heart rate was 150bpm. He measures at the same due date I’ve had all along, July 29th. She even told me he now weighs 1 pound! It was so good to see baby moving on the screen!
Here are a couple of pictures:
The profile with his head and spine.
Elbowing me right in the stomach! You can see his little fingers where he's making a fist.
Proof that he’s a boy. This is a shot from his bottom as if he’s squatting on the ’camera.’ On the left is his bottom and the two white lines on either side of the arrow are his shin bones. The white arrow is pointing to his goods.We can’t wait to meet little baby Noah!
