Because of the baby's position, the nurse couldn't really get a good look. One or two times, the nurse was able to position the transducer so that it looked like we were looking up at the baby's bottom. And she said that it looked like girl....but DON'T TAKE IT TO THE BANK! Those were her words, and she said she had been wrong before. So, I guess we have no choice but to wait some more for a more definite answer.
Even though we didn't find out if it we're Team Pink or Team Blue, at least we got to see the baby move and hear the heartbeat. It was 140. I have been a "little" paranoid about that recently...so the entire appt. wasn't a total waste :)
I have an appt. for a level II u/s at UT next Monday. This will be a more detailed scan to document the anatomy of the fetus. They should look at the heart, spine, brain, and other organs. They should measure crown-to-rump length and femur length. They will also look for any abnormalities. Although the previous bloodwork came back in the normal ranges, I requested this scan to put my mind at ease about all of this. After all, in medical terminology, I am AMA (Advanced Maternal Age) or mature primigravida. Hehehe....
I have another regular appt. scheduled for October 4th. They will check my glucose, checking for gestational diabetes.
Here is one of the images from the u/s. I rotated it so that you could see "something." This is just a head shot. Right in the center you can see the skull. The nurse didn't print out any of shots with the area in question :(

Holy crap that U/S sucks@!
Go Blue!!
Nah, doesn't have to be BLUE...the NFL makes cute pink stuff with the Colts logo.
Go look
Now wait a gosh darned minute here!!! We will NOT allow any of that dad-blamed team's paraphernalia in this house. 49ers, Steelers, Bears, Titans...and that's final. (Oh, and for baseball, the Cubs--and that's it!!!)
I can't wait to get all that pink and ruffles.
