Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails...

We had our ultrasound yesterday....and IT'S A BOY!! He wasn't very cooperative at first b/c he had his back turned to us. But after a little coaxing from Robert and the tech, he turned and we were able to see his parts. After that, the tech wanted a face shot, but this time he wouldn't keep still! I told Robert and the tech that he was complaining about them being indecisive. The pictures we received aren't very good. There's one that looks scary - I call it the gremlin shot b/c it looks like he's wrinkling his nose and has really sharp teeth. Not the picture you want of your unborn child....too many movies with humans birthing aliens.

The only disappointing thing is that the ultrasound tech was not legally allowed to tell us any information regarding the health of the baby, whether good or bad. She does the ultrasound, then sends the information to a separate office that interprets the info and writes up a report, which then gets sent to the doctor. So I was a little disappointed leaving the appointment and slightly anxious to have to wait on those results. I am going to put in a call to the doctor's office to see if when they might possibly have the report. I have a doctor's appointment next Wednesday, but I would love not to have to wait that long. But, another opportunity to trust the Lord, surrender my desires to Him and to trust that His plan is perfect and good for us. Pray that I won't be anxious during this waiting period and continue to pray for a healthy baby boy!

I'll try to post the pics later...check back if you're interested in the "gremlin" shot. : )

And we don't have a name picked out yet. So don't ask.
