Awwwwwwwww!
It’s a little baby. I don’t know who was having more fun; Jono & I or our ultrasound technician. We had the sweetest tech. She was very friendly and excited for us. She was very clicker-happy, took a ton of pictures and was great to work with. The best part of all–she let me go pee within 3 minutes of my arrival. She measured my cervix & placenta & uterus, and proceeded to escort me to the washroom!! Sweet relief. Holding in that 32oz of water was no easy task, especially when something is then pressing down on your belly.
The baby looks great. She measured me at only 2 days before my estimated due date. We’re right on track for growth so far. I got to see the little arms, hands and fingers. Cute little legs, attached to adorable little feet. Unfortunately, ‘Lil Pookie kept his/her legs crossed the entire time! I was silently hoping for my baby to flash me–this would’ve been the only permissable chance he/she had…LOL. So, its gender is still a secret to us. We’ve got to carry on with picking out 2 names and sticking to neutral clothes shopping for now.
For the record: It’s only ONE baby. Ha Ha! So, who lost their bets?? There’s a strong history of multiples in both mine & Jonathon’s families and everyone incorrectly assumed that we’d have multiples. All my “well-wishers” seemed to take delight in wishing a minimum of triplets on me. I just promised to call them at all hours of inconvenience if I was going to have triplets. I have nothing against multiples. But if you look at me, you’d notice that my belly is way too small to be carrying any amount other than one. It just wasn’t meant to happen at this point.
