We had our big ultrasound today. We woke up early, I took a shower and we had breakfast. I had my last potty trip early because the doctor’s office asked for a full bladder. What a way to torture a pregnant lady! The only good thing is that I didn’t have to drink a gallon of water, just what I had for breakfast and a sip or two more, and I was ready to explode.
We didn’t have to wait before being called in for the ultrasound. The u/s tech was a nice lady, kind of quiet. She asked if we wanted to find out the sex, and we told her the truth: we couldn’t wait to find out! But she found the head first, so she started there.
Everything looked great: head, heart, stomach, spine and liver. Bear is healthy as can be! And moving a lot, we could see it all on the screen and I could feel it too. Finally, we got to the legs. The tech took her time, making sure she was going to give us an accurate answer, she just kept saying “and that’s the area between the legs... right there”. My husband picked up on it much sooner than I did. He still remembered very clearly what Evan’s ultrasound looked like, so he knew before the tech told us. I kind of wanted to think that was it, but I refused to believe until the tech said it out loud. And she did.
Bear is a girl!
We’re very excited (picture me waving my arms and running around the room), though I’m also a little nervous. This is new territory; it should be interesting to say the least!
But more than anything, we’re happy she’s well, and she’s a girl, and we’re thinking names and paint colors. Bear is a girl… yay!
