My Free U/S

We had our free u/s today. Poor Jason was sick as a dog but he went anyway. It was supposed to be a class but it ended up that one of the teachers quit so the class didn't come. The instructor who arranged it was kind enough to still give us the u/s. That surprised me but I'm not complaining.

The baby is good. She didn't do any 'diagnostics' since it was a free, for fun u/s. The baby's heart was beating along. They weigh 1 lb, 8 oz. Isn't that crazy? We're certainly growing! We got to see the spine and ribs along with everything else.

The baby was awake for this u/s (which is what I wanted). But, since they kept moving, the woman had a hard time staying on one shot. Every time the little bugger moved, I felt the kick. That was very cool to know that what I'm feeling is indeed the baby.

We even got pictures from today. They're not as good as last time but I didn't expect any. I don't have a scanner at home right now so I'll have to scan them from work when I get a second. She got shots of the baby with the hands up over the head.

And, the woman said she could tell us the gender if we wanted. We passed on that. But, I did see the shot that would tell us the gender and I do have a guess. I'd say I'd guess 80% I know what we're having. Jason saw the same shot but we didn't discuss what gender we thought the baby was. I've seen so many gender ultrasounds so I know what they look for to determine the sex.

I'll post pictures when I can.

Other than that, we're just freezing our butts off. Cyan had two days at Bow Wow because of the weather and Jason's sickness. I couldn't walk her today because of our icy sidewalks. So, the lucky dog got to play all day with other doggies. I hope she appreciates it because our wallet doesn't. Oh well, that's the price of love.
