Well, today is Christian's birthday...the big 2-6...his GOLDEN birthday :) I already gave him his present last week (the George Lopez tickets), but of course Olivia had to give him something! He had the day off work, so we left him his cards and a couple new shirts to open when he got up. Friday's are tough trying to get everybody together, so tonight was pretty low key as far as birthday celebrating goes. We had the ultrasound at 4:00, stopped for dinner on the way home, then just hung out together at home for the night. Pretty boring for him I'm sure!
As far as the ultrasound....it was not 100% successful. Right away when the exam started, the tech says "uh oh, baby is sideways right under your belly button". There was a shadow from my belly button going right down to baby, right at baby's heart. She went on with the exam, hoping baby would move at some point. She measured the head, the organs, the bones and spine...everything was perfect and right on track for 22-23 weeks. YAY! Then it came time to check the heart. Baby still hadn't moved, so they were only able to get 2 of the 4 heart views needed. The doctor came in and said we would have to come back in a few weeks to finish the exam. The tech did a quick check for a gender view, but we weren't able to get one. On top of being sideways, baby had it's legs tightly together, and feet up over it's head, and there was NO budging. So, it was impossible. Therefore, we'll be remaining on Team Green, at least for a few more weeks. I'm not happy about it! The heart thing of course makes me nervous on top of everything. I have a heart murmur and heart disease, and Olivia's murmur STILL hasn't gone away, so not having the all clear on baby's heart leaves me feeling pretty anxious. I'll be happy when I can get the next ultrasound scheduled, and get in there again!
Here are a couple good pics from the ultrasound. First, baby's position. Baby's head is on the bottom right, and legs are up over the head. It is a pretty talented baby, that's for sure!! Second is a face shot. In this one, the head is on the left side, and you can see the nose and two eyes (black spots) looking right at the "camera". So cute :)
