On Friday, I had my 20 week ultrasound. I decided to have all of the kids come this time so they could see the baby "live" rather than on a fuzzy black and white photo I brought home. I also thought that since they learned about babies in the womb this year through a Spiritual Adoption Program I introduced at their school, this would be a great opportunity for them to see their own sibling inside Mommy's belly.
Everything is looking good with baby, although it wasn't cooperating well with position, so my doctor asked me to come back in a month so they can get a better look at the heart.
The kids all lasted about 10 minutes and then decided that the live version wasn't as exciting as Mommy said it would be. The thing about ultrasounds is that they want still pictures of things, so when you get a good view of the baby moving, they pause it to take a picture and then quickly move on to the next area to examine. Not a very interesting thing for kids to watch, especially at 4:30 in the afternoon.
But we made a family evening out of it as well, by going to the park, out to eat, and then to a musical that casted a few members of our community. It was a much-needed family night out, especially with all that is going on with our moving transitions. I will update on that in the next post...
