We all made the trek up to Syracuse for today’s ultrasound (8 weeks and 4 days, for those of you who are counting).  We individually made our rounds to the bathroom, and when Graem and I got back to the room where Shawna was placed, the LPN informed us that we were being released to the real world.  We were both pretty sad.

Then Dr. K came in, to our surprise, to do the ultrasound.  They have one of those brand-spankin’ new 2D/3D ultrasounds, and you could tell he spent the extra time to show us all around the little one, hear his/her heartbeat (167bpm!), and see 3D video.  Shawna asked him whether he thought it was a girl or a boy, and without hesitation, Dr. K definitively stated, “It’s a girl.”  Maybe the Dalai Lama whispered a little something into his ear a few weeks back!  Graem sat on the edge of the table to watch, but was quickly bored.  We told her it was her little brother or sister.  Dr. K congratulated us again and bade us farewell, until next week.  Shocked, we were granted one more week with the fertility center!

When the lights came on, we were also pleasantly surprised to be handed the DVD of our little show!  So here it is for your enjoyment.  BTW, we love our fertility center.
