THE Ultrasound

At 21 weeks now, I finally had my appointment for a thorough ultrasound. No one could make it to my appointment with me, but fortunately I was at least able to narrate everything to Danno over the phone! Most of the time koguma was not very cooperative, and the positioning made it a challenge to view the right parts! Eventually we got a good enough look at everything, and the nurse was able to determine koguma's gender...a girl! Well, we seem to always run into challenges at every turn and having a girl will definitely be one of them (for the both of us!) People who know me, know that reaching for pink is typically the last thing I would do...and of course, Danno wanted to make sure this item was on our baby registry. haha. But truly we are blessed and embrace the adventures in parenting that awaits us!

It was a joy to see our baby girl. I wish I could have taken more photos with me. There was one moment she even gave a "hi-five" at us, which the nurse said usually babies tend to keep their hands in a fist. She was moving and kicking soo much the whole time (and I continue to feel her move so often!) When Danno comes back in April, we plan to do a 4d ultrasound so he can get a good look of our growing girl too!

So here's some ultrasound pics, though they may be hard to decipher. I tried to help you guys out a bit on the first image...rather than the typical profile, she's positioned like lying on her belly on a flat surface. hehe. Glad to see all four limbs!

Id rather not detail this one out. They say "turtle" = boy..."lines" = girl . Nurse saw no turtles here.

Profile shot you can see lil nose, lips, jaw, left arm...Face shot is just closer and you can see where the brain is, lens of her eye...I think her right fist is up by her face.
