Trace’s Ultrasound

We started the day off bright and early, rising at 6am to make our 8:15 appointment. We got Ranen up about 6:30 so he could go with us. And we let Micah slumber as Ms. Judy and the kids were coming over to watch him while we were gone.

I ate my traditional ultrasound breakfast of toast with peanut butter and orange juice (we stopped by Bojangle’s for Jason and Ranen’s breakfast). I have had this breakfast previously with the first two and it made them very active, so we had plenty of chances to see gender. But today, Trace decided to go with a much mellower approach. We got to see a little movement from Trace but not much. Trace had a heart rate of 138.

The technician said if she was able to tell, would we like to know the gender and we gave a definite yes. Everything with Trace looked great. A healthy child. When done, she started wiping off the probe. I said “You were not able to tell the gender?” and she forgot that we wanted to know.

She took another look at Trace and she said “Congratulations!!! I’m 99.9% sure it’s a ______!” I guess they don’t want to give a full 100% for their protection against lawsuits.

Here are a few pictures.
