Our Big Ultrasound

Today was the "big" ultrasound! I gave it one last ditch effort in trying to convince Nick that we should find out the sex, but he is stubborn and wouldn't give in. (And trying to convince the tech to tell me with no luck.) Argh! Do you know how frustrating it is to have the answer to what sex your child is right there but not find out? Oh well. It's over and done with and I just have to wait 5 more months. And Nick only has 5 months of listening to me whine.

The ultrasound was interesting. The tech spent about 30 minutes measuring various body parts, and I spent the whole time just staring intently at the screen (trying to see if I could see boy or girl parts!) and just watching my little baby move around. So far, this kid hasn't been too active in the movement department, but today, boy was he pissed about the ultrasound. He (I say he, but I really don't know for sure and it's just easier than typing he/she each time) was moving everywhere. He flipped around a few times while she was trying to measure. At one point, I had my hand above where she was measuring and I felt a punch from the outside! This baby was pissed. She laughed because she saw it happen and even rewound so I could see it happen. We had a good laugh over that - it's so strange to see what all the bumps and pokes are!

She finally brought Nick in and took a few more pictures and measurements. Baby S 2.0 is just as ornery as his sister and his father because despite me even getting up and walking around to get him to change positions the tech couldn't get all the measurements she needed since he wouldn't cooperate. I guess I might have to go back again. All because of my stubborn child!

We saw that Baby S 2.0 has 10 fingers and toes and a cute little nose. He had the hiccups while we were watching. From the tech's measurements she said that the due date was around 6/15. Duh! Like I haven't been saying that since day 1! So now armed with that information I will try and convince the OB to change my due date again. It just makes sense! Baby S 2.0 is about 9 oz right now. We have a long way to go!
