 Corinne enjoys the feeling of the gel on her belly Wow! We had an ultrasound today and it was really incredible. We had one in Canada before we left, but the baby was only about 7 weeks and you couldn't see anything except the heart beating. This was really amazing.
Well, amazing that we actually got it done. We had tried to get one a couple weeks ago but we were informed that we had to wait until December 20. So yesterday Corinne went to the doctor again and he checked some stuff. She told him about the long wait and he gave her a note to give to the ultrasound doctor in Civitavecchia.  you can see the leg here
We went to Civitavecchia (Cheety, as we call it) today, expecting to be told to come back another day (as things usually happen here). When we got to the place, there was virtually nobody there, and the ultrasound doctor was sitting there doing nothing. So he did the ultrasound right away, and we were out in 45 min. The guy (Dr Fiaschi) was very nice, efficient, and professional. He didn't really speak any English, but at this point we can basically get by in Italian anyway. As happened yesterday during the medical exam, the kid had a prolonged spat of hyperactivity. After finding and measuring a few things, it took the doctor about 15 or 20 minutes to find the second of the 2 kidneys because the kid wouldn't stay still for a second.  leg still visible, also the tip of a hand  the umbilical cord protrudes from the belly of our kid  measuring the cerebellum (I think)  head, body, stomach is indicated  Here the doc indicates the arms and hands  front of the face, and body  face/skull, body  head, body, spine visible |
