Well, the ultrasound is done. And..... we don't know what we are having! A baby obviously, but they decided to be stubborn the whole visit and not show us the bits. And when I say stubborn, I mean it! I had to lay on my back, then my side, my back again, my side. Walk around in the hallway, jump up and down, back, then side.. and that was all to just get the basic measurements of the heart and whatnot! The baby was laying on it's stomach basically and not wanting to flip over!
When Mike was allowed in, the technician went over everything and showed us the baby together, saw it stretching, opening it's mouth, moving hands/fingers.. very cool. Then when she moved down to the nether region, surprise surprise! The legs were crossed. They would open slightly, then snap shut! Then repeat. I think she tried for what felt like 10 minutes! She said that it looked like a girl sometimes, then a boy so she couldn't be sure. I personally saw girly bits, but who knows.
I go for my doctor appointment on the 19th, so we'll see what he sees on his machine, and whether or not he needs me to go again (please please please!).
Overall it was a humorous day, and something to remember and share in the future! I am happy that it's healthy and growing (heartrate was 148!) and looks cute as a button :)

Ahhhh...you have a shy one!
Glad to hear that baby is healthy and doing well. Maybe your doctor can try again to see if they can get the sex for you :o)
YES! Sure does seem that way, eh?!
Hoping that I will have another chance.. fingers crossed! And legs UN-crossed!! LOL!
A friend said that everyone she has know who has gotten a scan and they couldn't tell the gender has turned out to be a girl... hmmmm!
That kid is into yoga, I'm sure of it...
BOO HOO! I was hoping to hear what it was! (probably not as disappointed as you are though).
Drink lots and lots of sugar before your next appt! Get the baby super jazzed! I did that and as soon as they put the wand on my screen TWO BOYS! I drank sugar before every ultrasound to get the bebes moving and wiggling.

Laura: I was hoping too!! I did drink apple juice before, but apparently that wasn't enough! Next time (hopefully I get another scan) I am bringing out something SUPER sweet!
