Today we had our anatomy ultrasound for Baby #2. We were both very excited to see our new family member today but also very anxious to get the news that the baby was healthy.
Just like our ultrasound we had with Brody we decided to keep the babies sex a surprise. I will admit this time I did have a harder time not peaking when she was checking the sex this time. I still didn't look and despite most people's disappointment neither of us know. Dave really believes it's a boy for whatever reason and the ultrasound tech made reference to "him" once during the scan. I also kept calling the baby a him, so she may have just been feeding off me. We also got a good picture of the babies bicep which Dave said proves it is a boy based on the size of his muscle.
This baby also proved to be very stubborn and we were unable to get a profile view which is apparently needed to prove the baby has a nasal home and rule out Down's syndrome. So my next appointment is December 1st and they will look again. I hope that stubbornness doesn't foreshadow what is ahead for us when this baby is born.
I was 21 weeks at this appointment and overall feeling pretty well. I still don't have much of a baby bump and am still wearing my regular clothes with some discomfort while sitting on the floor with Brody but that's it. I have gained 3lbs and the baby weighed it at 13 oz. this was right on target and not like Brody where they upped his due date by two weeks. My doctor seamed pleased with how things were progressing, and told us the baby looked great!
Pictures to be uploaded soon!
