The fetus will know be known as. . .
This morning was Ultrasound Day.
I setup the appt early in the morning because people had work, school, etc. So 8am everyone met at the new Intermountain Medical Center (which was Karla (mother inlaw), Missy (sister inlaw) and Sarah (girlfriend)).

Don’t worry on the way there I almost killed the whole family because some douchebag didn’t want to stop on the yellow and I had to turn left.
Before I had my appointment, I talked to my midwife and she said it was okay to bring the boy, and a couple people. So I think I ended up inviting about 5 people plus Brad and the boy. So if everyone came it would of been 7 people in the room not including me.
Well when we got the hospital, I quickly went to check in. But also found out that since the boy is under 14 he’s not even allowed in the hospital. Blame the H1N1 scare.
“Acting on a recommendation from the Utah Hospitals & Health Systems Association, University Hospital in Salt Lake City, as well as Intermountain Healthcare, IASIS Healthcare and MountainStar hospitals, have banned visitors under age 14. They have also limited other visitors to two at a time — whether in a patient’s room or accompanying a patient to an emergency room.”
I was soooo mad!! I mean, my intent was to let the boy see the cool ultrasound machine. I think he’d get a kick out that, but since he’s only 10 – he had to stay out in the waiting room. Luckily, Sarah hung out with him for the first part of the appointment.
We went through seeing if the fetus had arms and legs. . which it did and all fingers and toes were accounted for. (sigh of relief)
I then asked the technician. . . “Girl or boy??”
“I can’t tell right now” Apparently the tiger baby was sitting crossed-leg and hiding the private parts. They made me go to the bathroom and walk around to see if the fetus could move. I walked up and down the hall. . .occasionally doing leg squats.
I asked if Brad would tag out and have Sarah come in for the rest of the appointment since she did take the morning off work to come. And he was good with it, which I’m so luck to have an understanding husband.
The fetus did move and will no longer be known as “the fetus”. . . . Officially it will be known was. . . .Pepper.
That’s right, we’re having a girl!!!!
