Chickie appears to be healthy, though the final results will be in later on. All the correct number of appendages and the measurements appeared normal to me, though I haven't googled for confirmation.
Chickie, however, is CLEARLY our combined offspring, as he/she was sleeping when we went in and was in no mood to wake up and roll over for such trivial nonsense as a stupid nuchal measurement. He/She got visibly annoyed when the tech violently shook my belly and tapped him/her repeatedly to try and get baby moving in the correct direction. Chickie would move, and just settle more comfortably facing the wrong way . . . DH later commented he expected to see Chickie flipping the tech the bird (which certainly would have confirmed its parentage).
It did mean we got to watch for a long time. It also meant an unexpected date with the dildo cam - but since it resulted in cooler, clearer shots, it was fine. We even got a face shot or two out of it. It was cool to see the forming skeleton and the legs! since we never get to see those.
The tech DID wager a guess for us, which I will not share, but suffice it to say, I'm taking it as a big guess. The reasoning was a bit . . . flimsy . . . and the take made sure to say more than once it was only a guess and couldn't be confirmed until the big u/s. We shall see! I'm really looking forward to it to see if she was right or not!
It was a great experience, and I feel very relieved about the state of the pregnancy and the health of my Chickie. And also, totally in love. Because - wow. That's my baby!
