Okay, I'm not telling you yet. Russ has to be the first to know (besides me and the midwives and ultrasound technician, of course :-p )
One week from Friday is the very lastest the news will be official!
They got a new ultrasound machine at my clinic, and the pictures were so much better this time! With Vincente, I couldn't tell what anything was, and it was really hard to see anything. This time, I could see all the parts of the baby before the tech even started talking about it. Its little arms... it kept moving them up to its face, and every now and then would move around so I could see AND feel the baby moving! Now THAT was cool. And then the tech took a few 3-D pictures of baby's profile (because she couldn't get the baby to turn profile with the 2-D ultrasound). Of course, baby's face was still really scrawny (it only weighs something like 13 oz!!) but it was SOOO cute. I'll update this post with pictures of the profile once I get them scanned. Cute cute cute. I could really see EVERYTHING. Baby was so cute and looked so comfy all snuggled up in my uterus. Made me want to find a uterus to sit in for a while!
I bet I can even post the entire DVD of the ultrasound once Russ has seen it. I'll have to have my dad help me put it on the computer.
It was a really great experience. It was like I was meeting my baby, sort of. Weird that it was a different feeling than when I had my ultrasound with Vincente. I wonder if it's just my emotions are crazier this time, or if the newer machine really made a difference.
Oh, and my placenta is on the front of my uterus, so that's probably why I wasn't able to feel the baby move earlier (I only started feeling the baby move a few weeks ago, and I'm already 22 weeks!)
So there is the pre-gender review of the ultrasound. Stay tuned for the gender!! To be disclosed in at most one week!!
