Uno update

It seems that I have been so preoccupied with my poop stories I completely forgot to give an update on Uno. We went to the doc on Friday, Feb. 20th for my 16 week ultrasound and I had another round of blood drawn for the genetic stuff (everything came back normal). The blood thing was interesting to say the least b/c I'm convinced that the lady working the blood booth had no previous experience before being hired! The first time I went in she stuck the needle in my arm and had to fish around to get the blood to start flowing into the little capsule thing. This time, she stuck me 2 times before she apparently hit a vein but apparently she didn't hit it very well b/c it was slowly seeping into the tube, not shooting into it like it is supposed to. She finally gave up after the vial was filled 1/2 way and got the office manager to come do it. The office manager got it in about 5 seconds (in the other arm) but I left looking like a junkie with bruises on both arms! It's bad enough that I have to shoot up (insulin, that is) but now I actually look like I'm shooting up!! This normally wouldn't be a big deal but since I have to get my blood taken every 3 months to check my A1C levels (diabetic stuff), I know how easy/painless/fast it usually is.
Moving on, don't ask me where I got this misconception, but I thought I had to have a full bladder when getting an ultrasound. If anyone reading this is pregnant/thinking about getting pregnant, let me fill you in....you don't have to have a full bladder. I found this out after the technician had already smeared the goop all over my stomach and noticed that I had an extremely full bladder. I politely told her I thought I had to have a full bladder and she laughed and said not these days. Lesson learned. Keep in mind, this wasn't a semi-full bladder moment, this was a "I'm in pain b/c my bladder is so full and if you keep on pressing right on it with the machine, I might pee on myself" moment. So she starts buzzing right through the sonogram while Husband and I are trying to understand what the hell she's seeing and how the hell she knows what it is. Case in point, she zoomed in on the heart and Husband thought it was Uno opening his/her mouth. Since we're not finding out what the sex is, it was kind of fun trying to see...well, anything, so we could guess. Towards the end of the sono, we asked if she knew what the sex is and she verified she knew what it was but it wouldn't be listed anywhere on my file. Then the doc came in and did the same kind of thing but his was a lot less descriptive. After a few minutes (maybe 2 at the most) we were asking if we should look away from the screen at any point if he needed to see a picture that would be a "money shot" as my friend Paige calls it but he said he already knew what Uno was! So now 2 people know what we're having (no Lisa/Krissy, I will not give you the docs name to call him and ask). After the doc left, Husband was like "I know what we're having, I saw". Keep in mind, not 15 minutes before, he thought the heart was the mouth. So I ask and he tells me what he thinks. I start laughing b/c I could have sworn when the doc was talking to us, he said "his/her heart looks good" but my guess was opposite of what Husband thought. :) I guess this kid will keep us guessing until the very end! I would post pictures of the sonogram but I honestly can't tell what they're pictures of and I was there so I think I'll wait for the next ones to post (if you can see anything).
