Our Ultrasound Adventure!

This particular adventure began when the ultrasound technician told us that she could not determine the gender of our baby during our 18 week ultrasound. Subsequently, we decided that we would go for a 3D ultrasound to find out - Okay, if we're really being honest here, -I- (Sarah) decided that I MUST know whether or not to buy little dresses or little sweater-vests (especially since it's illegal to tell us in China!). So, as a gift from Nanna and Grandpa Stewart, we headed off to Cambridge early Saturday the 16th to Meet either Lillian (Lily) Gail Reid or Tristan Daniel Reid!

Upon arriving at UC Baby, we were greeted by the extremely friendly receptionist and asked to choose music for our DVD. We went with the "Zen" music as we thought it was fitting, considering our upcoming move!

Within no time, we were off to meet our baby. The technician was able to tell us the gender right away with 100% certainty. If you're curious, check out the ultrasound video here:



That was the one way in which baby was cooperative for the ultrasound! We spend at least 30 minutes of our time in the ultrasound room trying to get baby to turn around for a good view of the face. After having me poke and prod my belly in every way possible, turn over and over again, eat chocolate, sip ginger ale, get up to pee, and walk around, and do the hokey-pokey, all we could get were profile views!





We decided that we were unlikely to see what we wanted when the hands were thrust up in front of what we could see of the face in an effort to say, " No more pictures! I'm sleepy!"


So, in the end, we did not go home with a full facial view off our beautiful baby, but we did have a nice lunch and baby shopping trip with Omi Reid and quite the ultrasound adventure!!
