We finally had another FULL/REAL sonogram last Wednesday. We took the kids to see it and they did really well the whole time - on the other hand the sonographer was a pill about it telling us that it would be more than an hour and the room was small and the kids can't run around in there...blah blah blah. FOR REAL?! Wow, because I was just going to let them go crazy! I thought maybe she would not only do the sonogram but babysit my kids too. Well, duh Lady, we brought them on purpose and for a reason. We were not planning on them doing much more than watch the sonogram with us...some people!!! Well, enough about that part.
The kids actually made it through the whole thing and did not run around and were relatively quite for their age and the circumstances, we were very proud of their behavior. Abygail enjoyed looking at the 'girls' and Jackson didn't really care one way or another. As a side note, Abygail went to all the sonograms for Jackson and I think it helped her to feel a part of the pregnancy and understand (as much as she could) that there really was a baby in mommy's belly.
Well, here is some info on the girls - A (who we've dubbed Amelia Bedelia - my favorite book character) is on my right side, still breech weighed in at 1 lb 10 oz. B (who we've dubbed Beatrix Potter - a wonderful children's book author) is on my left side, head down and weighed in at 1 lb 9 oz. We've got some pictures from the sonogram and as soon as I can I'll post them.
i love amelia bedilia!!!!! glad your kids were good for you
ReplyDeleteI think I might have to bring my kids along for sonograms too! For now, I keep showing Chloe what the baby looks like on babystrology.com and all she says is, "Wow Mom. That doesn't look like a baby!" I'm glad you had a positive experience...minus that lady!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the babies are doing well! So fun that Abygail showed interest. A great family experience. Did you see the movie "Beatrix Potter" I really liked it. Hope you are feeling well Amber.You are such a sweet mom.
ReplyDeleteThe technician either doesn't have children or her children run wild because they don't have a mother who stays home and raises them. I'm glad to hear that all is well. To be clear, I know that not every working mom has wild children, but I bet hers are (if she has any).
ReplyDeleteOkay, you might need to sit down for this, but there are parents out there that let their kids do whatever they want and pretty much ignore them when they take them out in public because they hope that someone else will discipline them...and the rest of the world is afraid of these little monsters. You guys, however, are not those parents and therefore the rest of the world is leary of you because we think you are too good to be true. What? A parent that actually parents? That's interested in what their child is doing? You don't see that too often anymore...trust me, I work with kids all day long...I know.
