Ultrasound

Ian and I accompanied Rhea to her most recent ultrasound. We were quite excited to have Ian there so he could see his little brother. Unfortunately, the ultrasound tech wasn't all that great with kids. In fact, after about ten minutes, she mentioned pointedly that she would require a quiet environment so she could concentrate on a particularly difficult portion of the exam. I may be a bit biased, but I think Ian is a pretty well behaved kid. I don't think he produced any more noise than the casual conversations Rhea and I have grown used to having with the ultrasound techs that we've had in the past. In any case, the exam went well from a medical stand point. Oliver is healthy and growing on track. Ian did get to see the exam as it happened and thought it was pretty cool, even though he found it a bit challenging to discern exactly what he was viewing.

ARGH! ultrasound techs can be great or not so great; I've taken to requesting Elka, my favorite one, every time I make an appt!
Love the cute little profile shot - I So glad to hear Oscar is doing well!

WOW! I blame the boys for stealing my intelligence while I am carrying them! I just reread my comment and who the heck is Oscar? I know your baby's name is Oliver - I don't know why I wrote the wrong name! Other than starting with "O" they are nothing alike - sorry! Also, what's with the grammar mistakes in every comment I leave? Again, I blame the boys...

Oliver looks like a smart one, large brain in there.
I can back you that Ian is a very calm, well spoken, non-whiney child.
