Last Monday I went to my first visit with my new doctor. He is so awesome and funny. At one point he even used the term va-jay-jay. We thought we were going to have a sonogram since this was my first visit with him. Instead I found out that I needed to have the routine pre-screener sonogram with the specialist. So we made an appointment to go Tuesday evening.

As we looked up on the screen, we saw our perfect little baby waving at us. Everything looked to be forming perfectly. We could even count the fingers.

Here’s a forward facing shot. You can even see the eyes, nose, and mouth.

After measuring the neck and length of the baby, the specialist went in to determine boy or girl. This little booger kept his/her legs criss-cross applesauce (formally know as Indian style) the WHOLE time. That would be ok if the baby was being still, but it kept arching it’s back and wiggling all over the place.

So my next doctor’s appointment is February 8th. I have decided to refuse to leave the doctor’s office until I find out the sex, and for good measure I’m going to drink some coffee on the way to my appointment.

This whole experience raises some questions about the baby’s temperament. My friends have been teasing me that the baby is ready for kindergarten, and that he/she has heard me say sit criss cross applesauce over and over to my class. So I ask you, was the baby being obedient or stubborn by refusing to budge? (remember that red hair could be a factor here)
