On Wednesday, November 12th, we headed to our 18-week ultrasound. We got up bright and early to meet Milchak Mom at the doctor's office to view our little sweet pea. Baby seems to take after daddy, he/she is very chill and relaxed. Check out the photo below, where baby is blissfully relaxing with his/her hand under her chin. Baby must be a thinker, too.
We spent almost an hour seeing baby from all angles and positions. Hands, feet, brain, stomach, liver, face, etc. Seeing as Mitch has been hard at work learning all kinds of medical information in his "Advanced Life Support" classes, he loved asking questions and adding tidbits that mom and I were clueless about. For instance, while viewing baby's heart, Mitch asked if we were looking at it upside down. The nurse answered yes, and Mitch explained that the way the chambers were contracting showed us which angle we were seeing the heart. My genius husband, hee, hee.Of course, when it came to the big question, we politely declined to know the gender of the baby. Which was probably a good thing, because baby decided not to be very cooperative at this point. Baby seems very happy is mommy's tummy, because no matter what the nurse did, she could not get baby to turn for profile picture. Mitch mentioned that this was where it's mother's genes came into play, being uncooperative and stubborn. Milchak Mom loved this one. I, personally, think baby was tired of being poked and prodded while trying to rest peacefully. One of the last shots, before the nurse left to give baby some time to move around. Obviously, this is baby's Van Gogh "The Scream" look or for younger generations, the "Home Alone" look. Would you stop pushing on my mother's belly!
So, the nurse left to print out all our photos and give baby some time to move around. Like mommy, baby came around in his/her on time and was ready to go with profile photos upon her return.
