Glad everything went well! You got another ultrasound? You're so lucky. I had my one and only. I wish I could have just one more! Maybe where I could actually see the screen :(

did you find out about your gender u/s?

Aww snowygirl i'm so excited for you! 18 weeks feels like forever, I thought it did too. My doc wouldn't let me have one until 18 weeks but it killed me b/c he told me when I was having it while I was only 9 weeks! Talk about a countdown. But you know what? Time goes so fast! I get my ultrasound this coming thursday! Time will go fast for you too! Enjoy:)

How many weeks are you snowygirl?
How are you feeling iheart? You didn't get to record your ultrasound? We brought a video tape and recorded the whole thing. You must be feeling that baby boy kick alot, I sure do.

Let me know how both of ya'll are doing.

Hi betsy! I'm feeling great lately. I finally look and feel pregnant (those maternity shirts sure do help!). I'm also finally feeling movement on a daily basis, which is just the most amazing feeling ever. 2 nights ago I was able to feel it from the outside, it was just 3 hard kicks but I felt them all the same. Then last night I was feeling it again so I put my husband's hand down there and I don't know if he really felt it but he said he did. He loved it! So i'm finally over my paranoia and i'm relazed and so excited for his arrival. I can't wait!

Anyway, they didn't give me the option to videotape anything. I couldn't really see the screen from where I was laying (which is when I came up with the brilliant idea that they should have a monitor for the tech and a seperate monitor for the mother). She also never stayed in one area long enough for us to even see the baby. Most of the time we had no idea what was on the screen. I'm switching practices soon though so i'm hoping they'll want to do an ultrasound and see things for themselves. We'll see!

How have you been? Are you still going with ava? I love that, by the way. I hope all is well with you!

Yeah, I feel the baby everyday too. Every once in a while I can feel and see it from the outside. My husband hasn't felt it yet. When he puts his hand, she stops. Lol yes, i'm still going with ava elizabeth. Thanks! Did you pick a name yet?
We were able to record ours. They had a vcr hooked up to the monitor. The doctor faced the monitor to me so I could see it.
I'm assuming if you switch, they'll do an ultrasound for their records.

I really hope I get another u/s. I'd love more pics. I wanted a cute profile shot but we never saw his profile. We just got a couple creepy (but cute!) alien face shots.

Snowy- do they give you pics to take home with you when you get your scans?

And we're going with finnegan seamus and we call him finn.

You can't really go by the heartbeat. I think they say if it's over 150 it's a girl, but that's not true! I hope you're having a girl because I know that's what you really want. But if it turns out to be a boy i'm sure you'll be just as happy. I wanted a girl and was disappointed for about 30 seconds after finding out it's a boy but now I couldn't be happier. I just want a baby!

So did he give you the date for your big u/s? I got mine set up at my 13 week appt.

I found out at 18 weeks 1 day so you should be fine. By then I think as long as the baby cooperates they should be able to tell. It was pretty obvious he's a boy! I also drank orange juice before I went so he'd be nice and active and not just sitting there with his legs closed. Maybe I drank too much because he wouldn't stop moving!
