The ultrasound was quite an adventure. You are supposed to arrive for your appointment with a full bladder. I received instructions to drink 4 cups of water 1.5 hours before my appointment. It wasn't as easy as I thought. Just when I had managed to down all but a few sips, morning sickness kicked in. I'll spare you the details but needless to say, I had to start drinking more water again.
Don and I had decided that we want to know the baby's gender. Apparently, you need to go out to Delta in order to be able to find this out as most places in the Lower Mainland will not share this information. I had told my doctor early on that we wanted to know and she ensured that our form was stamped to ensure that the technician included this information in her report if it could be determined. I hoped she would tell us but apparently we have to wait to hear it from my doctor.
Try as we might, neither Don or I could tell for certain just what gender the baby is. We actually could make out a lot of detail. We saw the face, the feet, the hands and even got to see the heart beating. We payed $5 to get a copy of a few pictures and the only one that is somewhat helpful in that regard actually isn't - it looks to us like the baby's feet are blocking the critical view. We talked about it afterwards and are both convinced that we are having a girl. It will be a few weeks before we know for sure. Guess I should put off any shopping for cute little dresses until we get confirmation.
My in-house technician is trying to scan copies of the pictures but it doesn't look easy. If he's successful, I'll post them soon.
