The "Big" U/S

We had what is referred to as the "BIG" ultrasound today. Big because it takes an hour. We looked at the head, the eyes, the upper lip, the hands, the arm, the heart, the legs, the feet, and the internal organs. All is well! They will rescan at the end of the month, as one of the renal pelvises measured close to the max. guidelines size, which MIGHT indicated hyponephrosis, which MIGHT indicate blockage between the bladders and the kidneys. No one was too worried, and they tell me about one in 20 scans shows that and it usually resolves itself. So no need to worry.

Okay. Made you wait long enough. We are having a GIRL! (at least as far as one can tell...boys can be id'd with near 100% certainty, but girls can be tougher. The sonographer (who has to be one the more annoying folks in this world, by the way) said she could say with as much conviction as possible with a girl that that's what she is. So there. We both cried. And we are both a little scared, but are thrilled!

Now we are reconsidering our girl name...
