I had my 20/21 week ultrasound a few weeks ago. Everything looks good structure and organ wise. Yea! My mom, Mimi, was there and we held strong and did not peak at the part. Dr. Moore did check to make sure there was only one or the other and not multiple "parts" at my request. However, at the end of my appointment as we were going over the half way check list the subject of circumcision came up. This is normal for everyone. I think the extent at which we discussed them is not.
There is a side story to this. Kaden's circumcision was done improperly leading to a full blown surgery with anesthesia and waiting in the waiting room and you get the point....at TCH downtown around his 2nd birthday. He never quite grew into "it." (I love you Kaden when you are reading this years down the road!) Needless to say at this point I switched pediatricians to a Dr. that does not perform them. It didn't matter since we had Brynn next.
Reviewing our poor circumcision history with Dr. Moore and the fact that we want the same urologist to do the procedure after we leave the hospital brought up many issues. Cost, insurance, waiting too long for the Urologist, etc......many things I had not thought of and of course things a good Dr. like Dr. Moore would bring up, right? He just suggested that we really consider the plan we want to have before I go into labor. Well, as he was walking away I asked "So, it's a boy, huh?" He shrugged his shoulders and said "I didn't say that..."
I have been feeling like it is a girl all along and now have to consider this discussion in my gut feeling of what we are having now. I'm thinking it is a boy now......
Here is a 23 week pic of my belly and me trying to be serious, but not feeling camera friendly!
You may be asking where are the ultrasound pics? This little one is breech (in true Hall form) with its face down towards the ground. We got one brief face shot on the dvd at the beginning of the ultrasound and that was it.

How did I miss this post? Shara was telling me about it so I jumped over here to read. So you think it's a boy huh? How exciting either way!! Sounds like Doctor more wants you to be prepared if it is a boy. And I was lol that you made them check the sex to make sure it only had one part. Did you see private practice the other night?? LOL...
