Uncooperatiive!

Is this an omen of things to come? I hope not. Yesterday we went to the OB/GYN for the initial Downes Syndrome Screening. They do this nowadays by measuring the skin on the back of the baby's neck; thin is good, thick is bad. Amazing they can do this from an ultrasound! Anyways the little peanut just did not want to lay the right way, even after I jostled him/her about several times. We did get some new pictures which Scott has dubbed "Skelator", and I have to say, that is a pretty accurate description right now. So yeah, we have to go back next week and try again.

We could see all the vertebre clear as day, straight as an arrow, plus the fingers and legs; especially after I agitated him/her..man did s/he dance up a storm! The ultrasound tech did mention that she thought the sex could be a ______ due to something she saw on the ultrasound and indicated to us what that was, but she said not to quote her on it becasue in reality it was too soon to tell, however, if she is right it will confirm my belief. So we'll just have to wait and see!
