She was trying to measure all sorts of things on the baby (heart, brain, kidneys, etc) which necessitates that he move around quite a bit so she can get all the different angles. Usually this is no problem for our little man (please see blog posted below) but today I think he was feeling a bit crabby at being woken up by the not so subtle jabs of the technician because he really dug in and refused to move. In fact, I would say that today he demonstrated that he is my son as well because when the technician needed him to roll to the right, he went left. Atta boy, you show that lady not to wake you up with demands.
At one point, he was trying to roll over onto his belly and the technician decided to stop him. This consisted of her digging the ultrasound wand into the side of my belly to try and block him from rolling. Try to imagine the kind of pressure that it would require to stop a person the size of a grapefruit from moving IN MY UTERUS. I was actually having trouble breathing while this gal and our son had this battle of will with me being, quite literally, in the middle.
She did manage to get all of the measurements needed and everything looks great so that was a positive that came out of her beating me up for 45 minutes! The downside of our boy being so stubborn is that we didn't get many good 3D pictures. This one was the best...
You can see that he was curled up trying to get his snooze on while this woman kept attacking him. Even though we didn't get many good pictures, I was really glad he asserted himself ;)
