So we went in today for the first trimester screening/genetic counceling appointment. Well we have quite the stubborn baby! They need certain ultrasound shots to check for down syndrome and the baby did not want to get in position! Then half way through, the ultrasound machine just completely shuts down! Now if you are familiar with my lasik catastrophy you will think this is funny. Apparently me and big expensive pieces of equipment just don't do well together. So I have to go back in Monday morning to repeat the ultrasound. Fine with me - more shots of the babe!
We did get to hear the heartbeat today for the first time! 148 bpm!
We also tried to get an early look at the gender, but stubborn baby wouldn't uncross his/her legs. BUT if the ultrasound tech had to guess she would say girl - no obvious male genitalia. We'll find out for sure, hopefully, at the end of March! So no shopping just yet!
Here are some shots from today's appt:
So stay away from my race car if you and big expensive pieces of equipment 'just don't do well together'.
