Jenna went with me because I scheduled a dentist appointment for me and the second appointment for her. She has never been to the dentist before. I had a good check-up with a compliment from the dentist that I have "nice but boring teeth." I will take it. As for Jenna, she was terrified and refused to open her mouth for the dental hygentist. Tonight, we had a minor breakthrough! She went in and started brushing her teeth (without me telling her and without my help) before she put her pjs on tonight!
When we got done at the dentist we went to visit the accountant. Not a fun appointment, but something that has to be done.
After the accountant we visited McDonalds for lunch - per Jenna's request. We killed a little time and visited Menards to return some left-overs from the building project and purchase a few minor missing items.
The last two appointments for the day were the ultrasound. Lance met up with Jenna and I at the hospital parking lot.
Head, shoulder, torso
Sucking thumb
During ultrasound the lady asked if we wanted to know the gender. We agreed we did, so she looked and found external genitalia. The lady said, it's a BOY! Jenna said "NO!" and started crying. Jenna had been telling everyone that she wanted a new baby sister. Daddy, on the other hand, was very excited to learn it would be 3 vs 2 and not 4 vs 1.
Buttox, leg, leg, boy (sorry for the rated X picture, but Mawmaw and Poppy asked if we were sure)
We got done at ultrasound and then went to see our OB. Everything checked out great. After the appointment Lance, Jenna and I went over to explore Labor and Delivery to learn where we were to report on the big day.
He crossed his legs/ankles during the ultrasound.
One of my Blogger friends did a little survey everytime she had a baby doctor appointment, so I borrowed the below survey from her.
