We had our sonogram today, actually two sonograms since they did the lump in my armpit also, but that one isn't really exciting.:lol
This tech was awesome and this was the first time that I got to see her do the entire thing. With the other three, the tech always had the screen turned toward her and just showed me the highpoints at the end. This time I got to see all the measuring and ask questions the whole time. Dh laughs at me, but hey, he got to see everything with all of them, this was my first time.
I found out that my placenta is indeed anterior and when I showed her where I thought it was on my belly she told me I was exactly right. Thus the reason I only feel very slight movements on the extreme right side of my belly and a few on the very lower right side. I guess I should be thankful and hope that means that I won't be pummelled later in the pregnancy -- wishful thinking.
We got just an awesome shot of the leg from top to bottom which I had never seen before. I was so captivated by this that I didn't think to look away, and although we didn't want to know the sex it was pretty obvious that.....
It's a....
BOY!!!!!
Yes, for those of you keeping count -- that makes four boys for me!!! I was so excited that I couldn't stop smiling. You'd think that I'd be slightly disappointed, but I'm totally not. After we left the sonogram I took ds to the mall to play at the playground and I thought that maybe I was really disappointed and it would show up later, but when I looked at the little girls playing I just thought "No, I really don't need one of those." I totally adore boys and I couldn't be happier. Heck, one accident and we could wind up with a basketball team.
I do feel sort of bad for dh who really wanted it to be a surprise (guess he should have looked away too) but he said that after the last appt when the heartrate was so low (130 at 17 weeks) that he was 99% sure it was a boy too. He didn't really want a girl necessarily so he's happy too.
I guess you can put that little boy stork by my name since it's now official and not just my feeling. All looked well in the sonogram and it was just so much fun.
