On the 30th I was to have a sonogram to check on a cyst on my ovary. The technician first tried regular ultrasound. She said after checking with regular ultrasound that she wouldn't have been able to see my ovaries with the sonogram anyway. So I ended up having a full ultrasound anyway. Yea!

I got to see my little one. I was 15 weeks 3 days. It was moving around like crazy in there! She couldn't get a clear profile shot because the baby kept sticking its hand up behind its face. We got a good foot shot because the baby pushed its foot right up against my outter uterine wall. Then we also got a perfect hand shot. The tech said seldom do you get a perfect hand shot.

The full frontal shot was kinda scary. Lol. It looked exactly like the pics you see of aliens.

Hubby and I are hoping for a boy. The tech said it was still early yet, but that she didn't see any boy parts. However, she only got one good shot between the legs because the baby was moving so much, and its legs were closed most of the time.

I am hoping I will be able to get one more ultrasound to confirm the baby's sex. My regular doc is out on her own maternity leave. The fill-in told me medicaid only pays for one ultrasound, so that was probably the only one I will get. I am hoping she is wrong, since it wasn't supposed to be an ultrasound to begin with, and since I have a cyst that has to be monitored.
