"Normal" has never sounded so good!

I have to admit, I was a bit anxious before our 20wk ultrasound. Up until this point, all of them had been performed during routine visits at the doctor's office. For this ultrasound, we went to a Hoag Hospital Imaging Center so they could use some special equipment. The appointment was approx. 45 minutes & it was nice because there was a big flat-screen TV on the wall so we could see the images. Well, almost ...

As we were checking in for the appointment, we promptly told the technician that we didn't want to know if we were having a boy or a girl. She said that's was great & she'd just reference the baby as "he", since she was the mother of three boys. So I laid down, did the whole jelly-on-the-belly thing & got excited because we'd be able to see the baby much clearer with the flat screen TV. Well, Mark & I were are convinced that there was some sort of Divine Intervention because the flat screen TV was a bit blurry. Since we were nervous & didn't know any better, we didn't say anything & went along with the procedure. The technician took all the measurements she needed to & we were done. As she was wrapping up, she looked at the flat screen (it was to her back) & gasped at how out of focus it was! Mark immediately said that was probably God's way of keeping our baby's sex a secret! She apologized profusely, but we were just happy & relieved that everything was measuring normal.

All in all, the baby is developing normally & that is music to our ears!

PS - As we were leaving the room, the TV magically snapped back into focus. Hmmmm!
