Well- it's a boy- but as you can probably tell- there isn't much joy about the whole experience. These are the only pictures we got- (sorry I'm in a hurry so they don't look too great). Profile shots only- no shots of arms or hands or legs or sex organs- nothing.
I was excited because we were getting a level 2 exam- they don't do exams in our office so I had to go somewhere else. She looked at everything and was somewhat nice about telling me there were no spinal defects, two kidneys, brain looked good, she could see the heart...but they just kept saying, "Well, it's really early to see things well with you being off on your dates." Well I was freaking ONE week off- not two or three, ONE. I wasn't off- the doctor was...so not my fault. Still due around March 2. So she gets done after saying, "It looks like a boy to me (not there's the penis, etc)" and says "I'll go get the radiologist to go over the results with you." WHAT? What results?? Is there something we need to talk about?? Something bad??
So he comes in and basically says nothing..."Everything looks ok right now. But it's hard to tell this early what with you being off on your dates." AHHHH! So basically it was really unreassuring (if that's a word at all) and he wouldn't comment on the sex because we might sue him if he was wrong. They don't take pictures of that kind of thing. Nice. Nice bedside manner to state that he's not going to reassure me on anything because I might sue him. So I am highly disappointed. It basically made me feel like I needed a follow-up ultrasound in a few weeks when the dates were better. I called Dr Morris but I probably won't hear back from her for awhile. If you were wondering if there will be a 3D in the future- yes, there will- because THOSE people were VERY reassuring and definitely made me feel better.
The only thing I actually feel good about is there's no spina bifida...ok stupid I know, but I was really consumed by that this time (if you're reading this in the PICU you can use room 13 as a reference. And...it really is not a girl...not. Definitely a boy (If I can see anything I could see that whether he wants to comment on it or not).

Congrats on the boy! I hope you get better results the next time, I can definitely understand the wait and see game...it is not easy!
We will pray for you and the babies health!
Hugs!

Ugh, stupid doctors! I'm sorry they acted like that *hugs* CONGRATS on your 1st baby boy! Hoping your 3d u/s goes better. <3
Yeah for boys!! You're gonna love having a little man that adores his momma. That's what boys are for. These blue and brown shorties I'm working on sure will look cute on a little mister....
