It's a....

Yup, that's right. We had our ultrasound yesterday with nothing to show for it, other than a healthy, stubborn baby.

I guess I'm spoiled after having Benjamin in Utah Valley, a.k.a. baby factory, USA. We had videos and fantastic pictures of him at 10, 16, 20 and 24 weeks. They even did 3D/4D images, and we found out his gender at 16 weeks. Our ultrasound technicians there were fantastic, and jostled him around enough to get the right shots for us.

I love my current doctor. She and I really get along, and she delivers at the best hospital in our area, so it's a great fit. I consented when she said they needed to wait until 20 weeks to have the ultrasound done, even though I wanted to find out a little sooner (like I had with Benjamin). So in our opinion, she definitely didn't probe enough during the ultrasound. She would almost get the right shot, but then its little foot/umbilical cord would get in the way or she'd move and start taking measurements. It was so frustrating! And such a let down after all the anticipation.

For me anyways, it doesn't all seem quite as real until I can refer to it as a him or her. I am of course displaying classic signs of pregnancy and getting rounder in the middle, but that's about it. I'll probably end up going to one of those places in the mall...I used to think those places were ridiculous until now!
