Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. - Steve Jobs

What a day, What a day. The Big Ultrasound.

Here’s the short version.

4am: Sun of a……..I forgot my anti nausea sleep medication! It’s going to be a long day.

5 – 7am: Twiddling thumbs, anxiously awaiting morning so I can go get my gender results.

7:30am: Barfing in shower.

8:30am: Guzzling 30oz of water in preparation for my ultra sound.

9:15am: Leaning out of the car & throwing up all of my previous guzzled water in a gutter in the pouring rain.

9:17am: Watching my fluorescent green gum launch into the gutter & float down stream.

9:30am: Ultra sound finally!

10:00am: Disappointed because my baby is lazy & shy & refuses to get into a position where we can get any good shots or determine gender. Legs are glued together like a pair of unopened chop sticks.

10:05: Went pee.

10:15am: Meeting with nurse because Doctor is out of town. Explained that my big toe no long has muscle function & my foot is following suit. My explanation, “I stare at my toe & tell it to move, but it just stares back." Get strange looks & referred out to neurologist.

10:30am: Sit in lobby drinking a juice box to try & stimulate my lazy baby.

10:35am: Went pee. Doing jumping jacks in bathroom & vigorously poking belly while jumping.

10:45am: Went pee.

10:55am: Getting up to go pee when nurse comes to get me for second round of ultra sound.

11:00am: Success! Baby is breach. Got some nice profile shots.

11:10am: Baby clearly does not take after me or Jake because it is very shy & modest & wants to keep its legs crossed.

11:15am: Triumph! Gender announced.

11:20am: Went pee. Turns out I did not throw up all of the water I drank earlier.
