We had an appointment at our specialist's office today for some testing. I thought they were going to just do some blood work. Brian and I talked about if he needed to even come with me. He ended up coming with me, and we are so thankful that he did. I would have been upset if he had missed seeing our baby dance, clap, and pray. And, I really would have hated for him to miss hearing the nurse tell us the gender of our baby!!!
The nurse that we had today was awesome. She took so much time with us during the ultrasound and showed us every little finger, 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 eye sockets, a stomach, and the brain! I cannot believe you can see all that!
She asked us if we wanted to know the gender and we were both like you can already tell???? She told us she would try, but not to buy anything pink or blue just yet. At first, Baby Lunsford was being a little stubborn (my fault I didn't eat anything so baby was still sleeping). The nurse was determined to find out for us though ~ she shook my stomach, made me turn around different ways, and I coughed a couple of times. It worked, and she told us we are having a baby _____. We are going to wait until the next ultrasound before sharing the news to just make sure though.
We thought she was done with us, but then she grabbed another wand. I was like what is the difference in this one and she said, "Just a minute and you will see!" She decided to do a 4D ultrasound for us and it was amazing! It was unbelievable to see our baby so clear like that moving around!
She printed out a bunch of pictures for us, and made us promise not to let anyone in the waiting room see them as they would not be getting that many pictures. She said she was having fun with us and there weren't any doctors in so she could take more time with us. So nice!
We then met with the nurse practitioner who was so nice as well. She said the other nurse commented how much she liked us and that is why she gave us such a detailed ultrasound session. With the nurse practitioner, we went over the different screening tests for any abnormalities. She said so far everything looked really good on our ultrasound.
