Amniocentesis

Today Jay and I went to our first ultrasound and amniocentisis. To see something alive and moving in my stomach was so weird for both of us! At first I felt I had to stay really still and stiff while she moved the mouse around my stomach. The baby was really moving around. It looked like the baby was saying, "Hey! Stop pushing me!" Trying to be stiff and seeing the little arms and legs move, I got the giggles.

The amnio wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm usually Ok with getting a needle in my arm, but I was a little nervous since I've never had a needle poked in my stomach before. It wasn't a big needle as I thought it was going to be. Both Jay and I didn't look as the needle went it. After it was all over and done with, I think it was a lot easier and less painful to handle than getting a needle in your arm.

BEWARE! Now, if you don't want to know the sex of our baby, don't continue to read my blog! You might have your answer if you keep reading!

If you can figure out this picture, you'll know if we are having a girl or a boy! (You're looking at the bottom of the baby)
