It’s a …

| …stubborn monkey! As you can see Kevin and I went to the doctors to take another look at the baby and determine if it had certain rick factors associated with Downs Syndrome or any other genetic disorders. They started by drawing my blood to send off. The first nurse missed my vein and felt too uncomfortable trying my other arm so called in another nurse to try. She got my vein but couldn’t figure out why my blood wouldn’t fill the tube. I finally (after she dug around in my vein awhile) suggested they change out the tube, and viola! that was the problem!Next up was the ultrasound tech to get a measurement of the layers of skin on the back of the babies neck. From the moment she put the ultrasound “wand” on my belly to look at the baby, it was standing on it’s head. Literally upside down on it’s head! No matter how much we tried, the little one wouldn’t budge! Since the testing center is pretty picky about the views they need for the test, the tech said she wasn’t going to be able to get what they needed. But, while we were there, she looked around and found 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 hands, 2 feet, a beautiful face, little beating heart, and (the part that grossed Kevin out the most) a full baby bladder! So all in all, very healthy and clearly already showing it’s little personality!
We were hoping to find out what we were having, but she said at this point in the pregnancy, little boys parts can be hidden and little girls parts can be swollen and look a little boyish. And she said she didn’t want to have to go with me to take all my either pink or blue outfits back to the store if the gender later became really apparent and different that what she had originally guessed. Oh well. I guess we’ll keep waiting to know who’s in there. All we know is you are a stubborn little acrobat! We love you little one! |
