baby r is a boy!! and he certainly is. he was flashing us the entire time, they had a hard time getting all the other shots they needed because he only wanted to show us his butt and penis
we're very excited. Now I just need to convice H that we're not naming him Bear.....
the appointment didn't start so well though. when we walked in for the a/s the tech said, well because you have a coagulation issue we can tell you the sex today but you'll have to have a level 2 u/s in 4 weeks to check everything else. we were like um what? nobody ever told us about this. and of course she couldn't give us any answers. so at my 20 week appointment directly following the a/s the nurse practitioner said its probably nothing if I know that I don't have any sort of blood clotting issues, which I don't. she said alot of times when you come from an infertility doctor they do all sorts of blanket blood tests and it probably is nothing. but I'm pissed my RE didn't tell me about this!!! my H is livid. and I don't blame my OB because the testing was done while I was still at the RE's.
and two of my H's brothers had coarctations of the aorta and so we also had to schedule a fetal echo cardiogram and a meeting with a genetic counselor.
but overall the baby looks good and is measuring right on. we saw all 4 chambers of the heart and the umbilical cord looks perfect. the brain and all other organs are where they're supposed to be and developed properly. so somewhat stressful but I left feeling OK about everything and happy I get to see baby again in a month.

Yay!! Baby Bear is on the way!! JK. Im glad everything looks great, but I totally understand why you would be upset with your RE. I think anything and everything should be disclosed. Thats bullshit you had to find out from a nurse and not your doctor ahead of time.
But yay for getting to see the baby again next month!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! BABY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about the drama, I hope it's all straightened out, H has a right to be pissed!!! It's crazy they never told you!
Yay!!! I'm so excited!! I don't even know what else to say other than I'M SO EXCITED!
But um ps .. that is f*cked up that they didn't tell you that ahead of time! I would be pissed too.
I'd be angry, too.
boy (n): a noise with dirt on it
But...YAY BABY BOY!!!
