New ultrasound

Comment Published at 12:1012:108 comments8 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport
We had our second ultrasound yesterday, almost made a day out of it.  My hubby works in the hospital across the street from our doctor's office and also where I go for my ultrasounds, so Arianna and I met Daddy for lunch and then we headed across the street.  Thank goodness this one wasn't too long, my back was hurting as soon as I laid down.  Anyway, we had to have this one so we could check on the baby's kidney.  The doctor needs to see if it's still enlarged or not.  Of course, we don't know the results of that until my next appointment.  But it was confirmed that we are definitely having a boy, although the technician said he's not allowed to say "for sure".  But what we saw couldn't be anything else.    We even got some beautiful views of his lovely face.  I was surprised at how much we could see.  I was expecting that same alien-like skull look, but it looked much more "human".  I would have loved a photo of that, but we weren't about to pay $15 for a CD of a bunch of photos, when we only really wanted that one.  Oh well, at least it'll be in my mind's eye forever.
I'd better wrap this up.  I've got to prepare for a Close To My Heart gathering tonight.  I'll post again with the results about the kidney when I get them.

Isn't it amazing to see the baby?  I hope that there is only good news for you when you go back. 

I was surprised how much my son looked like his ultrasound picture when he was born.  Kinda crazy.

Re: New ultrasound
Thanks for your comments.  We find out the results this afternoon.  I'm sure everything will be fine; trying not to think about the alternative.

Re: New ultrasound
They offer c.d.'s now? Gees,quite the business! Hope all goes well with the kidney scan,I'm sure it will as it being slightly enlarged is common but it usually corrects. Your "saying cheese" photo is soooo cute! She's really changing!!! Hey and you asked...my sons cottage is about 30 minutes drive north of Havelock. Take care and hope this coming hot weather doesn't bother you too much. Know you're not saying and don't want you to but have you decided on the new ones name?

Re: New ultrasound
Thanks for your comments.  Arianna is really growing so much!  She says cheese almost every time we get the camera out.  North of Havelock, hmm, I think my friend has her trailer near Havelock.  It's a beautiful area, isn't it?
I think the air conditioner is going to get a huge workout this week.  Unfortunately, we won't be home all the time, so I'll have to deal with the heat sometimes.  We have decided on a name, but we aren't telling anyone, not even our families.   We kept Arianna's name a secret, too.

Re: New ultrasound

Congradulations on the name! Important isn't it! I don't know if it makes it more "real" or not but I always felt the names given our group "fit",well you know what I mean? I always got such a strong sense of personality and the names had to fit! LOL!!! Guess it's me?!?

We went to Apsley last week,so neat there too. Son's cottage is about the half way between Havelock and Apsley.

Re: New ultrasound
Oh fun!  Arianna and I are going up to Bancroft on Monday to visit with family who are staying at a lodge.  We're only going for the day, but we're traveling with my sister-in-law and her two boys, so should be fun.
