...baby! Still a baby of unspecified gender, albeit what appeared to be a healthy baby. There were several factors that contributed to our lack of certainty, but we hope to get another sneak peak before all is said and done. And if we don't, we will just be extra surprised on D-day!
An intern in training was the first to take measurements. About an hour in an ultrasound technician came in to get final measurements. All in all, I was on the table for exactly an hour and a half.
Leaning toward girl: (1) The intern initially thought girl. (2) The technician said she was 80% sure it was a girl during her first look.
Leaning toward boy: (1) Upon further examination, the intern couldn't tell if she was seeing cord or "turtle," but she clearly saw something. (2) At second pass the technician said it looked very much like a boy, but again, could have been cord. She didn't put odds on this observation after telling us it was a girl 20 minutes earlier and didn't do any further investigation.
Appointment: We received a call this morning to inform us that our nurse practitioner was out today and we rescheduled for tomorrow at 3:30. Hopefully, she will have the ultrasound "results" by then and I will have a chance to talk to her about where we go from here.
Praise the Lord for those wiggly arms and legs, a beating heart, eyes with lenses, a working bladder, and for the 6...I mean 5 toes we were able to count!
