So, we were in and out in less than an hour which was good. Our sono tech was older and didn't really have too much of a sense of humor. (Sidenote: I just told Devin what I wrote about the tech and asked if it was fair. He replied I would said shes a doucher.) She did the sono and the baby was facing us, but with its legs together. She tried looking a handful of times and couldn't see anything. Then, the doctor (the same awesome one as last time) came in and had a look. She couldn't tell and was moving my stomach around trying to get a peek and couldn't. She said the spine and everything on the baby looked great, but that she was a little concerned about my cervix. On the sono it measured at a 2, which apparently isn't good, so they did an internal sono and everything was great after that. I guess my cervix curves or something or the baby was laying on it. All I know is that she was really concerned and then after she got the better picture from the internal she said everything was great and acted like it too. Better safe than sorry!
Here are the pictures from the sono still not the best, but this is all they gave us!
This is the face, at least thats what the picture says...
Face, yes again.
Profile (I think).
Profile again. This is my favorite one so far you can see the little nose sticking up!The heartbeat was 140 beats per minute and the baby weighs 1 pound 7 ounces. Last time it weighed 9 ounces so it has gained 14 ounces in a month! Seems crazy, and yes I know it will only get bigger! They also said I was measuring one week ahead which isn't unusual.
At the end of the appointment she said she wanted to see me again in 6 weeks and I said that won't give me enough time to prepare the nursery so I asked to go in 4 and she agreed. So, another sono on April 6th which seems so far away, but will be here before we know it!
Now we are trying to decide what to do. The way I see it we have 4 options...
1 - Decide to not find out and decorate gender neutral with Dr. Suess
2 - Get a private sono and pray the baby cooperates
3 - Wait til April 6th and pray the baby cooperates and then decorate
4 - Decorate gend neurtal with Dr. Suess and still find out if we can on April 6th
We both like the Dr. Suess bedding and theme although I think Devin just likes it because they show an awesome chair in the pictures!
We are goin to hopefully decide soon! Thanks for checking in and I will keep everyone updated!

This is driving your Gma Burks (not me) up the wall - she wants to shop sooooo bad. I vote for wait until April 6th to decide on the nursery theme. Four weeks will go fast, right? Grandma Stacy
It's driving me nuts, too, but I think you can probably wait until April but you're going to have to have everything picked out and ready to go so you can start that day!! If you're going to do your showers in May that doesn't leave much time to send out invitations unless we do it before you find out and you'll have to be registered by then. So much to do! :)
I would sooo annoyed! Dr. Seuss is a cute idea...I've not seen that before! I would still find out the gender though. I'm a fan of the gender specific baby things so it would be so hard to not know. April 6...thats not that bad.
