We got there and waited a little bit in the waiting room then headed back. We went through the rigmarole of the first part of the visit. Weight, blood pressure, and urine sample. I drink lots of water before all of these to avoid drinking their lukewarm pond water, so I had to go!! Anyway I returned to the room which has 5 or so pictures in it that I love. They are naked babies being held in different positions by their daddies hands. They are all black and white except one which is sepia. That's all you see is daddies hands and the baby. I keep telling Dwayne we are having those photo's taken of him and the baby. Anyway after a sort of lengthy wait we were escorted to the ultrasound room. We've been in them before as our little one has had several pictures taken since being 6 weeks and 4 days old. How awesome is that? They can tell how old the baby is by it's size to the day. Anyway the ultrasound technician came in and she's really nice!! She wanted to know if we would like to know what we are having and without hesitation we said yes!! She instructed Dwayne to turn the lights out which is the job as the dad. :) They have a tv monitor that displays what she is seeing. She talked us through the different photos and told us what we were looking at. I'm thinking this is fascinating and very amazing but what are we having. Finally at the end of all the photo's of the head, blood flow *awesome to see*, two feet, two hands and all the other wonderful bones and parts to our baby; she asks again, "do you want to know the sex?" We both say, YES. I could pee again now, I'm so excited. She pulled up another photo and there she typed the words BOY, below his glory. I am in awe and amazed. We are going to have a son and a gentleman! The ultrasound tech handed us two pictures one of the babies face/head and then the one with the word BOY typed on it. Both of those pictures were great but I found myself really wanting another picture I had seen her take. Little did I know she was printing it.
My little boys FOOT!!!!! I have a fascination with baby feet and she got a great picture. I have tweaked it a little but it's by far my most favorite photo to date!!
We will have more photos taken in October but for now I cherish the ones that I have especially this one. Soon I will hold him and kiss two little feet, toes, cheeks and hands. I can't wait, but then I can because he has a ways to grow firsts. I so look forward to sharing many photos with you all!!
