Ultrasound

We had our ultrasound appointment this morning and learned a few things during the procedure.

1. There is only one baby in there.
2. You don't have to drink as much water beforehand as you might think.
3. The gel they use is extremely cold.
4. You're supposed to give the blank videotape to them before the procedure starts.
5. The technician (and only the technician) now knows if the baby is a boy or a girl.
6. Because of the HIPAA laws, she is not going to tell you.

We also came out of the appointment with a few pictures to share. Click on each thumbnail picture for a larger view.

The first is a shot of the baby looking up. You can clearly see the head on the right side and a hand just above the baby's nose.

Since it is mid-October, the baby decided to dress up for Halloween in this next shot. The view is looking straight on at the baby's face. The outfit is that of an alien, of course.

The third shot is similar to the first, with the baby looking up and a hand out in front of the nose. But, I think in this one you can plainly see that the baby will be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

Steph has been feeling some "fluttering" lately. Now we know why.
