Anatomy Scan

So, yesterday was our OB Anatomy Scan...and it was AWESOME!

❀

When I got there, I was drinking water (like a half a gallon LOL) and waiting anxiously...finally they took me over to the admittance desk. I filled out paperwork for the scan as well as pre-registered for the delivery of the baby in May.

They sent me back to radiology for the ultrasound...the lady was like, "This is my patient?" "Are you sure your as far as your paperwork says? Your not even showing." LOL...but when we got in there and she looked at my cervix to make sure everything looked good there, then she said, "I'm surprised at how little you look for how far along you are...that's a good thing though." I laughed...I guess I'm not as big as I feel. After looking for about a second, she said that I could go pee...all they make you drink all that water for is so they can differentiate the cervix from the bladder. Throughout the ultrasound I had to pee 3 times. LOL, she had to tell me to go cause she could see my bladder getting full again and again before I could even feel it. Crazy!

After voiding my fluids, lol, she started looking at our baby girl and took lots of measurements. She said that the baby is very healthy and everything looks to be developing properly. The brain looks great, spine is forming well with no gaps, and she is right on track. Kylie was very active, as usual, but not camera shy at all. The nurse had no problem seeing the sex of her...in fact, when she was trying to show Matthew and I the gender, Kylie shook her little butt at us. Hahaha, that's my girl. We got to watch her on the screen for like an hour...it was awesome. She is so funny. She was waving at us, yawning and moving her mouth, we could see her eye sockets, he nose, her hands and feet with all her fingers and toes. This ultrasound was so in depth, I was blown away. It was almost like we could see exactly what she is going to look like in person. Matthew was making jokes about her mouth being wide open when she yawned..."She is just like her mother, mouth always open." Haha. Then he asked the nurse if her head is small because he has a small head...she said no, her head is pretty average. Hahahaha. My husband is so full of personality...our kids are all going to have so much character.

So, Matthew is finally convinced 100%...he got the hamburger he wanted. Hehehe. Okay, suppose I should tell the story behind that. One morning, while I was getting ready for work, he says, out of nowhere, "hamburger or turtle?" I asked what he was talking about, he repeated it again...I thought maybe he was half asleep still, so I said, "Turtles are cute, so lets go with turtle." He said, "but I want a hamburger." So I told him to go get a burger. LOL. He finally explained hamburger means its a girl, turtle means boy. I told a friend that, and right away she knew what he was trying to say...I was like, am I the only idiot who has never heard that before.

Anyway, Kylie is healthy, she is about 10 oz. her heart rate was 160, and according to that machine she is due May 8th now...it was only a day off how far along I am. I am 19 wks 4 days, it said 19 wks 3 days. No matter what day she decides to greet us, mommy and daddy are very happy and excited. I already bought her cute little onezies...7 precious moments ones for only 25 bucks. They were 40% off and adorable, and I saved 16 bucks. Cant beat that. I cant wait to dress her up in them...she is so precious!
