Take two...

We schedule our appointment last week, at the epic fail of an appointment. He SAID wait till Wed...we made it till Tuesday. Dave nearly had a coronary trying to get there, traffic was HORRIBLE on account of the weather. Apparently, people get stupid when it rains, because you know that never happens in FL.

Luckily, they were a little behind...though I was totally prepare to have a 'bathroom emergency' for as long as I needed. It seems no one argues with a pregnant lady when it comes to food or the potty. But Dave made it, so crisis averted.

Scan took a lot longer than I thought, it seems they want to make sure all the parts are there. I think I may of annoyed the tech for a bit, cause I kept trying to guess what things were. Then I cheated when it came to bones and looked at her notes (rad/uln) "That's an arm!". I was excited. Then I was a complete dork "That's the heart!!"... "no, I'm looking at the abdomen right now" ..."yeah,but that's the heart, I know what a heart looks like!". So as Dave was amazed at the spine and seeing face features... I was 'learning' ultrasound anatomy. Go figure.

But, we got to the main event. I think we may have passed a picture of the underside, but I didn't say anything. Eventually came by again and she points out "Its a boy!". Dave was excited. She freezes, puts an arrow and a little cute 'its a boy!'. then she scans more, freeze, arrow "its a BIGGG boy".This ensued several minutes with about a dozen pics and increasing ego boosts. Dave is so proud.

Then she brought another tech in, maybe would of done anyway, maybe cause I joke "so, thats defininte, cause someone is going to argue when we tell them". Other tech starts to scan and says "oh know the hands in the way, being modest now". Which makes me laugh and apparently baby move ..."ITS A BOY!". So I guess it IS obvious!

So there we have it, the little being in me is a boy... Wesley Carl. I now can scold by name when I have to pee a million times and coo when I feel those flutters. Very excited to move past the "IT" stage. Everything is healthy and accounted for. He is now 8oz and by ultrasound due date is 1/21....so right on schedule. Looking forward to the months to come!
