Ultrasound #2

We had our second ultrasound this morning, so much has changed since 2 months ago let me tell you! My OB GYN sends all his clients to a high risk doctor for our second and third sonograms out of the three we get during pregnancy. So the husband and I were off to see a high risk doctor this morning. Luckily the wait wasn't too long. The scale was depressing. They had to make 2 attempts to get accurate blood pressure and then it was off to the patient room. Our tech came in with a student and that is when the real fun started. We got to see little Baby W who didn't look so much like a little Skelator anymore. We saw limbs, the heart, the head, although the tech had a very difficult time trying to get a shot of the kid's face, little Baby W was not a willing participant in this ultrasound. Face down and curled up in a ball, legs clamped close not giving a money shot or anything. about 15 minutes in she froze the screen and moved the cursor on the screen. "See that right there? It's a boy." luckily she screen captured because it was only visible for a second, she picked up on it a couple more times as well. She gave up with the face and said maybe the doctor would have better luck and maybe he would get a better capture about the baby's gender.
Dr.B was super nice, automatically made both Mr. W and I feel real comfortable.He took out the ultrasound wand and got to work. This time Baby W was deciding to make the heart difficult to see, but at the same time finally moved the hands and arms out of the way of the face so we could see the little nose and mouth. Then the doctor started trying to verify gender. Again he screen captures and says he is pretty sure that is a boy. After finishing he stated he wanted me back in in 4 weeks to do another ultrasound because he wasn't completely happy with the way this one turned out and he wanted to verify the sex which he said at this point he said it was 90 to 10 odds it was a boy, but that there was a lot of umbilical cord floating around in that area so he wanted to make sure, and he wanted another shot at the heart. So we will be back late November for yet another ultrasound.
In the mean time we have announced that we are having a handsome baby boy!
