Today I saw the nurse practitioner for a regular monthly appointment. She found the baby's heartbeat quickly. We then spent the rest of the visit discussing what comes next.
Her take on the situation: The 18 week ultrasound is technically an "anatomy ultrasound" not anatomy and gender like we thought. Insurance companies are somewhat picky, I guess, and don't allow technicians to specifically look for gender. Most technicians love the hunt, but some, like the one doing our ultrasound, choose to not really try. The NP was super sweet and understanding.
Where she suggests we go from here: Our nurse practitioner will get the results in the next couple of days. If she sees anything that isn't perfect, she will order another ultrasound. This time we would schedule it at the OB office with their loving ultrasound tech. We will find out about this at the next regular appointment. If everything is perfect, we praise the Lord! At that point we could choose to do an independent ultrasound, hope to have another ultrasound late in the pregnancy, or decide we would rather be surprised at birth!
Next appointment: Tuesday, January 3, 2012 (!) at 3:45pm
