19-1/2 Weeks Dr. Appt & Ultrasound

Shhh, baby sleeping. The ultrasound today was not as eventfull as the last. Here you can see the hand over one eye making it look like a telescope or something, also some chewing action - that is about it.

Today was off-visit. On the list of scheduled appointments I had anticipated this to be a more exciting one because we get to 'see' the baby! ...well, it fell short of my expectations. whaa whaa
Every aspect from the wait to interactions with people left me with a "what the heck" feeling. Anywho, enough of that, we'll chalk it up to a bad visit.
Baby was sleeping, so we didn't see a show like last time. Got some "alien baby" pics, that's about it (these are face shots, not the cute side shots). The tech said again, "good looking baby," how can she tell? I know, I know it's all about the measurements and such they are looking at, not my need to put a cute picture in a frame! She measured the head (not too big and not too small), the thigh bone, and tummy. All normal and good, horay! On to the doctor, we met a new one today. She measured the "baby's home" and it is up to my belly button now and his/her heatbeat is 144 beats per minute. I expressed my complains of left side pelvic pain from standing, tailbone pain from sitting, and my hands and feet falling asleep at nite - she said I must drink more water... does beer count?
