Ultrasound - Take Two!

(Posted by Robin - again!)
Since we were pretty sure the doctor wouldn't know of any reason to recommend a second ultrasound at this point, I had done some research on places we might be able to go to if we really wanted another one to get a better idea of the gender. My friend, Cadie, at work told me about a place called Waves in Cedar Rapids that does elective ultrasounds. I went to their website and was cracking up at the services they offer. Basically, they can set the whole room up like a theater and you can have a big party while you get your ultrasound done and everyone can watch it on the screen. They even throw baby showers there! I'm not sure if the mom is up at the front of the room with her belly exposed while she is getting the ultrasound done or if they put her behind a curtain or what. The picture posted here is from the Waves website. Look at the site to see all the stuff they offer.

I didn't want all those bells and whistles, so I e-mailed them explaining that my ultrasound didn't really confirm the gender of the baby and wondered what my least expensive options would be. They told me they also have a 2D Gender Determination Package that basically is exactly what I wanted! So, Jeff and I are going in this Thursday at noon to get it done. They even said if they can't get a very good view, I can come back another day and try again! So, it won't be a 3D/4D ultrasound and it won't be shown on the big screen, just a simple regular ultrasound, sounds like it should be just what we want.

We are both assuming they'll tell us that it is a girl and then we will be wondering why we got the second one done when they basically told us that at the first one, but oh well... I just need a little more confirmation!
