I love the Ultrasound tech that I see at my doctors office. She's so funny and she talks the entire time you're in there. At one point we were talking about baby kicks and she said that a few weeks ago after a large meal of mexican food, she was feeling some kicks too. Haha!
Baby looked great! Nuchal fold was 1.4mm and she said anything under 2 is good, so that's one less thing to worry about. I won't know full results for another week, but these type of things I don't worry much about. Like Connor, this babe seems pretty chill. He/she kept putting his little hands up above his head and sticking his hands toward his mouth. Babe is also still measuring between 3-5 days behind, but still no change in my due date. I'm glad for that because I certainly wouldn't want to repeat a week of pregnancy. Heartbeat was 159.
She seemed like she was wrapping up the scan so I asked if she had any guess on gender. She said "you want me to look" and then spent a good 10 minutes just chasing this little baby around to get a good look. She then said "I don't think your daughter is going to be happy" (I'd told her earlier that Em was wanting a sister) and then said that she was pretty confident baby was a BOY! Pretty shocking since I was so sure he was a she! Of course, nothing is a 100% until closer to 20 weeks, so I'm not rushing off and buying that coming home outfit or anything, but it's sort of nice to call him a him instead of "it". I told Steven that if I spend the next 6 weeks calling him "him" and then find out it's a girl, I wonder if I would be sad? I did have a few instances of almost mourning a girl, since we won't get to experience that again. But Connor was SUCH a sweet baby, so much more cuddly than Emma (as I've heard boys tend to be), plus poor Connor needs a brother. Emma has a million friends from school, gymnastics, square-dancing, and cousins so I'm not worried about her having two brothers at all. Just a few nights ago, when I really thought he was a she, I mentioned that I was going to miss not having a sweet baby boy anymore. :) I think it's harder since I've already have a girl and a boy. I know what I'm going to miss with either gender.
This has become incredibly long winded, so I'll wrap it up. A few pics of our possible handsome little guy.
