Oh, you are so sweet! It went pretty well, thanks! The only blah part was they could not get a decent shot of baby's heart to see the connecting vessels. I tried everything: going for a walk, jumping up and down, leaving for 45 mins to get an apple juice. Baby wouldn't switch positions. So now I have to go back to the fetal cardiologist on Tuesday (because they said there was no point in going to them again for just the heart). Everything else looked normal so they aren't too concerned, but obviously need to be able to assess the heart.
Also, uncooperative baby is a girl! H is thrilled and has already started mentally signing her up for all the sports (he's a fan of women's sports). I am also thrilled, but slightly worried she is going to turn out to be a difficult child like I was.
A girl! Congrats! I keep thinking that if I have a girl them I am going straight to Boots as the Mini Mode range has the cutest girls clothes, and not all in pink.
Hope the doc can get a good look at your daughters heart on Tuesday.
I have been waiting for you all day too loira! Congrats on the baby girl...so exciting!! That's stinks that they weren't able to get a clear picture of the heart, but yay for an extra peek at the baby on Tuesday? You are going to have a daughter
Thanks, Blue Moon. I can't wait for your scan next week, too! I'm not overly concerned, but it would have been nice to have every box ticked off as 'normal' so I can fully relax. They managed to see the chambers of the heart okay and said they looked normal, but the way she was positioned made it impossible for them to get a closer look because of the shadows getting in the way. I guess it will be good to see her again on Tuesday though.
The doctor was funny and asked if I had any intuition about the sex, then showed us the right spot and was like 'what does it look like to you?' I said 'it looks like a distinct lack of penis, so I'm going to say girl.' He said 'that's right!' as if I was the cleverest person ever.
Oh god, we're going to have to come up with a name now. Our list for girls is SO long...
