....IT!
Today Morgan and I went in for my 22 week ultrasound which normally would tell us if it's a boy or a girl BUT our lil' baby decided to play HOUDINI and wouldn't show us anything! It's legs were crossed at the thighs and there is no tellin' what it is. I even rolled over on my side for a few minutes and poked at my tummy hoping it would move and spread those legs but to no avail. So, the ultrasound tech said she thinks it's a girl and is 80% sure but to not buy pink just yet. So, long story short, our baby is still an "it".
Everything else looked healthy and normal, the heart, kidneys, bladder, brain, spine, diaphram, etc, so we are grateful to know that the baby is healthy. Below are some pictures from the ultrasound.
This first picture is a profile shot and our baby's mouth is open.
These next few pictures are 4D pictures of our lil' one. As you can see he or she is very camera shy.
This last picture is obviously of the spine.
Oh, there are stories to tell about spines. We just found out that Morgan has a severe case of Scoliosis. His left leg is 1 & 3/8" shorter than his right, causing one hip to be a lot higher than the other and a distinct curve in his spine. Luckily, his back went out a couple weeks ago, causing him to go to the chiropractor and that is where he found out and saw in his x-ray the reason for his back pain. I say "luckily his back went out" because had it not and he'd gone on with his life for 20 or so years, his back would've been done for. We're praying that the "Spinal Reconstruction" that he is involved in in the next 4 months will recorrect most of the damage.

What a stubborn baby! ;) I'm sorry that you didn't get to find out the gender today, but I am so glad that the baby is healthy developing normally.
Sorry to hear about Morgan's back. I have a minor case of scoliosis, an inch difference in the length of my legs, and similar hip problems. Although this isn't why I'm having surgery, I can understand, to a lesser degree, what he's going through. I really hope the spinal therapy will help. We'll pray for you all :)
Love, Amanda
What a cute little stinker. Hope you get to find out soon. Love you and can't wait to see you.
Have Morgan talk to Shelley, same thing happened with her. She was in middle school but she went through that spinal reconstruction (big term for non invasive twisting of your spine:) Yay for the baby!
Ahh, man! some babies can be so darn difficult. Either that or extremely private :) hope you get another chance soon to find out! Hope morgan is doing well with the chiropractor, that sounds awful. Love ya!
