Well I was right! As the song on Tangled (Disney movie we'll watch together one day I am sure) says "Mother knows Best" haha I jinxed us! I never should have thought it or said it out loud because you must have heard me. When we got in the ultrasound tech wasn't able to see what you were. You politely had your legs crossed and were tucked in a ball sleeping, you little stinker (wink, wink). Sadly our ultrasound tech wasn't as nice as the one we had at 13 weeks and she wasn't really into trying to poke or shake my belly to get you to move. I was really disappointed because we had told her we didn't want to know the gender as we had a reveal scheduled for this coming Friday. She told us she couldn't get you to move, that you were measuring at 17 weeks and 5 days and that we should come back around 20 weeks. But you did wave at us and give us a thumbs up even though you weren't willing to reveal your gender.
So we went and talked to the receptionist Morgan who is amazing we just love her, and she was able to get us scheduled with Heather our tech from 13 weeks for tomorrow 10/12, I just hope you will be more up for revealing your gender tomorrow.
10/13 2nd Ultrasound for Gender Reveal:
Okay little one I gave you a little pep talk so I hope you were listening (there will be more of those throughout your life I am sure). We were scheduled this time for 11:15 am since dad didn't have class in the morning. I went to work like normal and then your dad picked me up for the appointment at 11 am. He brought me an orange Fanta soda to drink because I heard that can help as well. We got there at 11:13 am and Morgan checked us in, Heather came out right at 11:15 am and we went back for the ultrasound. I told her that we didn't want to know the gender due to our party and that you were stubborn yesterday. She assured me we would get the gender today, so that helped me feel more at ease.
Once again you had your legs politely crossed and you weren't willing to budge. She tried pushing, poking, prodding and shaking my belly and you still didn't budge. She told me she was 85% sure she knew but didn't want to be wrong.We eventually got out this buzzer that they have that makes a vibrating sound to see if that would agitate you enough to move. Nope....you were pretty adamant about not giving up the gender again. But Heather was so sweet and she had me empty my bladder and try laying on my sides. We kept shaking and pushing and I even drank some soda. We gave it a few more good pushes, and trust me they were good because they hurt! And then you flinched and straightened out your legs. Haha. Well that was a lot closer than we were at the beginning. Heather had me roll over on my right side towards her again and then we shook my belly and pushed on it a couple times and Heather quickly said "close your eyes." We were finally able to get some good gender pictures. By the end she sounded a lot more confident in saying on the picture what you were and I was so excited. I had her put it in the envelope and seal it and then we drove to Ashley's work and gave it to her.
We are so excited to find out this Friday 10/14, Ashley and Kori have put a lot of work into this party and I feel so blessed to have such amazing friends for you to call Aunt! Well my stubborn sweet little baby I hope you know how loved you are, your dad and I are getting more and more anxious for March but we are willing to wait patiently for you to keep "cooking." This week you are 5 1/2 inches and 7 ounces, I read that the next few weeks will be growing spurts for you I am excited to hopefully start feeling more consistent movements. We love you little one!
Love Mom and Dad
