Buddha's Room

Well I finished the drawings on buddha's walls and this past weekend and my mom and sisters came to visit so they helped get the painting started....it's not quite finished and there is alot more yet to do, but here's the progress so far...hope buddha likes Pooh! or we're in trouble!

Ultrasound Redo

We had the ultrasound re-done this morning, it was 100% better than the first time and the tech was absolutely wonderful!

hopefully these pictures will come through ok...we were able to see that yes, it is a boy and even have a picture to prove it-although i really don't want to post that one on internet! so hopefully you'll be able to see these ones. we got alot of pics this time, nose, mouth, feet, profile, face, arms-everything....and everything is accounted for and in the right places!

although i felt a little guilty about complaining to the place about the first visit, we were so glad i did send the "complaint letter" or we would have missed out on this experience...

well, i (with a huge help from amanda) wrote a letter to shady grove radiology (the people that did the sonogram) explaining how we thought our visit was inappropriate. basically, since the tech didn't explain anything as she was doing the test (she barely spoke a few words during the whole thing), and didn't show us the the baby (as she said she was going to do), or how she knew it was a boy, and didn't explain the pictures that we received, they called and offered to do the sonogram over again. so we're getting another one done on tuesday. they also said they were going to have us back anyway because the report on the spine didn't come through, but i think this may be an excuse to cover their ass with the insurance company on why they have to do a second one. so this one will be with the med. director and his top sonographer. so we're pretty happy that we'll finally get the experience that everyone else had on their first visit.

19.5 Weeks

we had our ultrasound done this morning! they must have taken 30 different pictures, but we only got to bring home 3. everything looks normal, 2 legs, 2 arms, fingers, toes....the only thing i didn't like was the tech that actually did the ultrasound...she didn't speak until one of us asked her a question. and she wasn't very personable. but tim was able to watch the monitor and i could see it a little from the side and ----IT'S A BOY!

we're very excited and now tim wants to go out and buy a steeler outfit!! he'll be here just in time for football season :)
