Oh Boy

Yesterday we had our second attempt ultrasound to make sure our BabyG is healthy and to try and see what's going on in his or her little pants.

We had the same Doctor as our last ultrasound because she was able to get so little information out of our stubborn bundle of joy that she wanted to make sure she knew where she left off and that she got everything she needed.

Jennie started the appointment by telling us she was razzed by a colleague for how little information she was able to get out of our first ultrasound and was even accused of being an "amateur". We knew we had to help redeem her for that!

Well did BabyG ever redeem itself! First off the immediate picture showed that our little bugger was no longer breech and had flipped into head down position like a good baby. Thank you! I won't lie, I know it's early but I was a little anxious about that. So thank you #1 to BabyG.

Then we saw a LOT of movement and the baby was much much more cooperative than the last time. Jennie was able to show us everything and to even watch the heart for a good long time to make sure everything was pumping and flowing properly.

Then she went further down to see what's going on downstairs. It's worth saying that prior to the appointment, in an attempt to not be disappointed again, I had decided that making sure baby was healthy was our #1 priority. Well I didn't really have to worry about that this time! We were down there checking out hips and feet and legs and lo and behold there was a penis. Clear as day. Even if we didn't want to find out the gender it was there and proud for all to see. Even Jennie laughed and said this was a totally different baby than the last appointment. He was so cooperative and gratuitous with the crotch shots. She even stated there was "penis everywhere" this time around.

To BabyG: Thank you for being so cooperative and funny. We love you already! While we would have been happy no matter what gender you decided to be, mom and dad are so happy to have a little boy coming into our world. Even your big brother Milo is excited to play with you! It brought tears to our eyes to know we were going to have a son. We love you so much. Stay safe and healthy and strong in there. We can't wait to meet you in a few short months. <3
