BB2 Appointment and Update
So, my doctor's appointment this week went well. The baby's heart rate was 154, which is middle of the road, and the growth seems to be on schedule. During the appointment, we discovered that we were cutting it very close on a test (that requires a sonogram) that we wanted to take. The doctor was nice enough to call over to the Radiology Associates and get me an appointment for today. Here's the thing: the test that we wanted can only be conducted between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. Today, was the last weekday of week 13 - so we thought we had time; however, when the technician started taking measurements, it turns out the baby is measuring almost 15 weeks old! So - we could not take the test, which is fine - more than anything we just wanted this opportunity to see the baby on the sonogram. While the technician was doing her thing, she said, "Oh!". Mom B was with me and pounced on her! "What does "Oh!" mean? Do you know the sex of the baby? Can't you give us an inkling?" Anyway, it turns out that the technician thought that we may be having a boy! She told us not to go out and buy a ton of blue, but she said that things look promising. How exciting!
