So we went in for our last "official" ultrasound on December 4th. We didn't really get any great pictures, but the day will be one I (or mom and Kevin for that matter) will never forget...sigh. So when you first go in the technician is the first one to do all the looking, measuring, etc. She was very nice, asked us if we knew what we were having - I said yes but she was welcome to check again...just to make sure...I've heard of stranger things happening. Anyway, so she goes on with her measurements, says he weighs about 4 1/2 pounds (which freaked me out...sounded like a lot!) And then said that "Wow, his head is measuring a bit bigger than the rest of him!"...Thanks Kevin...She then goes searching for his...um...gender, and says, "well he is trying to be shy but it is definitely a boy." Excellent! Now I don't have to return a bunch of boy clothes! She then says the doctor should be in within a few minutes. So we wait a few minutes and the doctor comes in - not the one I am used to seeing...some very excited Asian man who loudly proclaims while walking thru the door that his technician has warned him to look out for my son's "giant penis!" Wow, thanks doc...not what I, or surely my mother, expected to hear! But wait...it only gets better! He continues on with the ultrasound saying everything looks great, normal, then goes right for the money shot...just in case we didn't see it last time. He THEN points out...and I totally apologize to anyone this might offend, but this IS what he said..."here is the penis, and here is the nut sack" Um, wow, really? Who would have thought that a doctor would use those exact words...not me. He then goes on to say that this "Is Vegas, and he is just getting prepared for his job in show biz!" Wow, thanks alot for giving a first time mother MORE to worry about. He then prints us out this picture and says we have to put it in his baby book - HAHAHA...sure.
We will be more likely to put this one in, even though you are basically looking up his nose...but it's way cuter and you can see his cute lips.
So needless to say, we ended on a very interesting note as far as ultrasounds go. Oh well...it's a story...probably not one I will be telling my son, but hopefully it gave you all a chuckle. I will be posting again soon with pictures from our Idaho and Vegas baby showers.
