This was the day we FINALLY had our first medical ultrasound.
Midwives require you to get a medical ultrasound at 20 weeks, to make sure everything looks healthy: the baby, placenta, and everything that goes along with those two things!
Due to insurance changes, we had to wait a couple extra weeks for the ultrasound.
First of all, I had to drink 64 oz of water in a one hour window and hold it.
By the time we got to the ultrasound appointment I had to go PEE! Not fun!
But we went back into the ultrasound.. And the technician began to measure all of the required anatomy with her ultrasound machine. She also looked at my placenta, because I have placenta previa
And let me tell you, I'm so glad we had the gender reveal ultrasound earlier, because this technician wasn't all that friendly, and barely looked to see if he was a boy. According to her "She thinks he's still a boy". And she moved on, That was the extent of that... Not very glamorous or filled with fun and love like the ultrasound at My First Peekaboo Ultrasound. Plus we only got two pictures of little dude, and one was so unrecognizable what we were looking at, we REALLY only got one picture.
But the exam wasn't over yet. We had to get our updated due date. Based off baby boy's measurements he is not due February 7, 2014... He is due February 27, 2014!!! TWENTY days later than expected! Giant punch to my mommy gut! It was a huge set back, and surprise! I thought I was about 23-24 weeks at this ultrasound but I was only just under 20 weeks! Insane!
So here we are now, expecting little dude to probably be born in March like daddy, instead of February. But more on this later!
