I'm 33 weeks pregnant and haven't yet had any ultrasounds. I tell Leo about how much I love all the 3D/4D ultrasound pictures I see in the baby magazines.. Leo wanted to make me happy, so he started calling around to local places and we made an appointment for PeekOfYou 3D ultrasounds..
I started getting nervous. "Will it be a he, or a she?" "What will it really look like?"
30 minutes before our appointment, we hop in the car. Leo turns the key on, places it in drive, and we head there. The entire way I'm silent: All I can think about is the pending ultrasound. Butterflies flutter in my tummy as Leo parks the car in the parking lot.
We hop out of the car, and walk quickly to the entrance. We walk inside and a sign on the counter reads "Please fill out this paperwork as you wait. I am in a scan."
After I filled out the paperwork, the minutes drug on forever, silently killing me with anticipation. Finally, the woman before me walks out of the room, with a huge smile on her face. Her remaining family members followed, all talking giddily about how cool it was. The technician took the paperwork from me, and we followed her into the scan room.
A big projector screen hung on the wall. There was a couch on the left side of the room, and a big bed in the middle. This did not seem like an ultrasound exam room, this was more like a bedroom in a rich person's home!
The lady asked me to lie on the bed and uncover my stomach. I did as told, and revealed my abdomen. She turns on the machine, and places the goo-covered receiver on my stomach. A black and white image was revealed on the screen.
"It's a girl!"
As the ultrasound progressed, we got to watch out little daughter move around in my stomach, in color 3D images. I have to say that it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.
When her little heartbeat fluttered on the screen, mine stopped dead in my chest. It was finally real to me- I'm having a baby, a daughter, and she will be here in about 7 short weeks... And I have no baby items to show for her yet...
