James and I had the 20 week ultrasound (19w 6d to be exact) on Tuesday. It was so neat to see Macnugget's bones forming. Little white lines in its arms and legs. We could see the brain, the 4 chambers of the heart, the organs growing in the abdomen. It was soooooo neat.
Macnugget was not exactly willing to cooperate with the ultrasound tech. He/she was sleeping when we got there and was sleeping in a not so cooperative position. So, she had to start trying to get good shots... which means she was smushing and rolling him/her. He/she woke up fairly quickly and then became anti ultrasound. The tech had to chase him/her around to get the shots she needed to make sure everything was looking good.
Oh, and once Macnugget decided to uncurl his/her legs we got to see what was there... the cord! Little bugger was being a punk. But, after a few minutes the tech checked again and sure enough we got a "clear view" of what was there. All I can say is that I am glad she is trained, because I didn't know what I was looking at and even though she said she was sure it is a ________, I am still skeptical.
I know that the techs are usually right, but working where I work, I see the wrong predictions every few months. So, we will go with what the tech predicts. If we have another ultrasound we will try to confirm.
We are doing the big reveal with our parents on Sunday morning. I am making cake pops! White cake with the appropriate food coloring tint dipped in dark chocolate. We are going to have them bite into the pops at the same time to see the color! I think James' sister in PA will be joining us via Skype for the big reveal as well! This is going to be so much fun!
