The Ultrasound Appointment

It is amazing to realize how quickly the time goes by. I am almost twenty weeks along and just have been in for ultrasound appointment. I just was told that it will be just two appointments in two months then after that, it will be biweekly. I never knew that it will go down to this very rapidly. I am not very fond of going to doctor appointments and enduring the poking. I wish I could keep it to minimum!
Ultrasound appointment was so nice! They had up to date machine so they were able to identify a lot of things that they didn't have the ability to in four years. I am thrilled to see my baby's kidneys, four chambered hearts and all. They did tell me that veins to kidneys were enlarged so they will check on that soon to make sure they would go away. I hope so! I don't know what sort of complications that can come from that!
Well, I am sure you are perched on anxiously to find out what I am going to have- a boy or a girl? Here's the hint- my girls are celebrating while Ian is sulking. Isn't that so easy to guess now? Ha ha.
Ian said something to ultrasound specialist which I found to be particularly amusing . . . He asked if the baby had ability in disconnecting itself. I thought it to be very funny because it DOES look like that way on the machine. With the echoing, machine was able to pick up only so much. Ha ha ha. There's stomach, there's lips, there's nose, profile, and thus. You know how that goes.
