Ultrasound today (rescheduled from last week): all is well. That means that from now on I will be completely calm and optimistic about the pregnancy, right?
They gave us a videotape last time to bring back for all the ultrasounds. It always makes me think of the alien baby storyline on The X Files.
Before showing us the whole fetus in profile, the sonographer did a head to toe survey. Just about everything looked like a head to me in that view.
For some reason, it surprised me that she could look at the internal organs of the fetus, even though I know the ultrasounds work to see my internal organs. When I thought about it, it made perfect sense-change the depth and there you are–but it seemed strange initially.
We already knew the baby was a boy, from the amnio results, but she showed us the visual. She had a little trouble getting a good “it’s a boy” shot to print out, though, because his hand was in the way.

There’s a boy for you, already protecting his junk. Hee.

Congratuations! I’m glad all went well on the US. That’s always a big milestone. May you have a very uneventful remainder of your pregancy! : )
