Ultrasound Baby 2

The day finally came. I think it was a Tuesday but do not hold me to that because I rarely know what day of the week it is. It was a big day for us. We go meet with the financial person, ultrasound, and doctors appointment. Let's get to the ultrasound, I do not want to bore anyone with my rants about how insane medical billing is these days.

We get ready in the ultrasound room. Those rooms are always dark and everyone whispers. Not really sure why we whisper because its just Cullie, ultrasound specialist and me. She puts the jelly on Cullie's stomach and we get this party started.

We immediately see the baby. It is a great feeling being able to see its face, arms and all the other good stuff in between. Cullie is in her element. She is staring at the flat screen. This baby is moving all over the place. I think to myself it is definitely another Rett. Rett can't sit still.

We get to the gender part. The tech tells us to close our eyes and look the other way. I look at Cullie and close my eyes. I mean I tried to look through my fingers to read the small type on the screen. I promise I was unsuccessful. She then tells us to look again and we get back into the ultrasound.

She then starts going through the anatomy. We look at everything. Every single bone in the body I feel like. We see the heart beating and several other parts. The baby then rolls all over the place. The tech then says we get another ultrasound because she could not see the baby's stomach. She assures us she did not see anything wrong but she could just not locate it based on the position. I think in my head that it is weird but we see a baby so we are good.

We meet with the doctor and she says everything looks good and they will see us in 4 weeks for another ultrasound and doctors appointment. I think in my head, like a stubborn Daddy, I am going to pay for another ultrasound because she couldn't find it. I admit it that went through my head. We left there feeling great. We had pictures of our baby and Cullie was going to take the gender picture to the baker. Life is good!
