Today I went in for an Ultrasound to finish up our 20 week
scan because Baby Levesque did not want to sit still and they couldn’t get any
pictures of her brain and heart. No biggie, just the most important organs. We
do have plenty of pictures of her femur though which she tends to flaunt. So
back to the hospital we go…
I’ve been lucky enough in my life to have only had to go to
a hospital once or twice but I have had to experience the waiting rooms at the
dentist and doctor’s office and I’m fully aware that you will without doubt
have to wait a good 15 minutes before seeing anyone. HOW Freaking EVER, these
ultrasound techs know that we have been specifically instructed to come to our
appointment with a full bladder and not to mention we are PREGNANT! So, it
wouldn’t hurt if they put a little pep in their step instead of making me wait
30 plus minutes to see them. I can’t wait to see their faces when I send them
back their bill for this second ultrasound with a bill for my UTI treatments.
That will make a point.
When you finally get in there, it’s another 30 plus minutes
of pushing directly on your stomach to find your baby. My U/S tech took mercy on
me and allowed me to “empty” my bladder because Baby Levesque decided that she
didn’t want to move at all for this round.
Despite initially wanting to hurt everyone including the
friendly tech, the U/S did go well and I didn’t pee my pants. A successful day
for a pregnant lady. Our baby is completely heads down and ready to go but she
is not moving. Our tech did everything in her power to make that baby move her
head and there was no way she was going to. She did stick out that good old leg
for all to see but that was about it.
The good news is that because she decided she didn’t want to
move, we got some awesome freaky 3D pictures!! Since I’m scanner challenged I’m
currently waiting for Jon to come home to post pictures so stay tuned. All the
other stats are good.
- It’s still a girl!..Woohoo!
- Heartbeat is 147
- Weighs 1.5lbs, perfect
- Her freakishly long leg has corrected itself
- Her stomach is measuring a week ahead of itself but lets face it, she was going to be cursed with my Buddha belly whether she liked it or not!
All is good!!! J
