And then the details:
Blood Pressure - 90/66 (my blood apparently flows with little to none pressure)
Weight - up one pound (I stood in disbelief because I was CONFIDENT is was more like a 10-pound gain...thanks to good ole nighttime bloating).
And on to the baby (the important stuff):
I got the "high-tech" machine today - the one where the images are insanely vivid, in a fantastic, but kind-of-eerie way?? Score at today's visit. When he pulled up the images of the little one, the baby was going crazy - I mean literally GOING CRAZY. Swinging arms and legs, rolling around, moving head from side to side...Dr. Hill couldn't even get a good read on a heartbeat at first because the baby would move everytime! He kept saying, "Oh my gosh this is an unbelievably active baby!"
My first thought?
It must be a boy.
Dr. Hill laughed and responded saying we wouldn't be able to tell any of that for a couple of months.
Dr. Hill was snapping shots left and right and he was able to get tons of angles since the baby kept twisting and turning - posing.
And then it happened folks.
Completely unexpected.
Totally unpredictable.
Catching me and the doctor off guard (your doctor's not suppose to be caught off guard, EVER!).
One of the baby's poses suddenly consisted of the baby spreading his legs wide apart, perfect angle, clear-as-day image, making me and the doctor gasp and suddenly look at each other.
"Doctor Hill, does that mean it's a BOY??!!" I exclaimed pointing to the detailed screen.
He said he never sees it this early, but the little guy decided he wanted to show us ahead of schedule.
I asked the doc what percentage he was confident (expected around the 50's since it's SO early).
"97%," he said with a smile.
So that's it...more boys to fill the testosterone-laden McMahan house!!!! We're thrilled!!!!
