Today, at 10 weeks, we had our first ultra sound. My appointment was at 1, but I had to drink 36 oz of water between noon and 12:30! And not pee! Well, this was challenge! My friend who is a nurse told me that they can do a “reverse catheter” if you don’t have enough liquid in my stomach! YIKES! That sounds horrible. So I drank and drank and drank!
I get to my appointment early- of coarse, and they are running late- of coarse, and I REALLY have to pee! 10 minutes after my scheduled appointment I tell the lady behind the desk that I am not sure how much longer I can wait! 5 minutes later I get called back- hurray!
The radiologist begins the ultra sound- all I can think about it going pee! I am holding it in… consequently the radiologist “has to” push on my bladder to see Mac. Yikes, finally I see Mac and I get to go pee!
Then I find out I am having an “extensive” ultra sound- I will not go into detail but we got a picture of Mac- it looks like he is sticking his tongue out!
Oh the joy…

Sara, Now that it is too late…when I went to have my ultrasound for Emma, I did the same thing, but as soon as I got on the table and they started looking, they said my bladder was TOO full and to go pee. Geez, make up your mind. After that I never drank that much again.
they’ve never made lisa pee before an ultrasound…weird.
No Nathan! They told us to drink before the ultra sound, then go pee!
they never make her drink anything either!
How cute is your little Mac!!! I’m so excited that you go to see him/her – it makes it more worthwhile when you’re feeling pukey.
