Normally, most couples look forward to this big appointment to find out if they are having a boy or a girl. The fact that we could find out the gender wasn't our main excitement for the day. We were looking forward to seeing Baby B on the screen and confirming everything was perfect. And sure enough, Baby B measures perfectly and has all the parts he/she needs! Total relief. I have a low lying placenta and will have another ultrasound in about six weeks to make sure it's moved, but not too worried and more excited that I'll have another peek at Baby B.
We did make sure to let the tech know that we weren't finding out the gender and although we watched the whole ultrasound, we wouldn't have been able to detect anything. How they can tell which black spot is the bladder or stomach or kidneys is beyond me!
Here are pics of our beautiful baby. Again, the foot has made an appearance and I cannot wait to kiss them!!
I have been known to be pretty nosy, so the fact that we're not finding out the gender has surprised a lot of our friends and family. In fact, I've surprised myself with my patience. You may recall a blog post I had done back in December about Patience, and it's truly something I've learned to embrace. Of course we can't wait to meet Baby B and find out whether it's a boy or girl, but for now, I'm content knowing he/she is healthy and we're all doing okay.
