Girl, boy, polydactyl??

As if we didn't have bigger issues to worry about, my OB's office called yesterday to tell me that they'd scheduled an ultrasound for me after my echo on Friday (tomorrow). Since they didn't say why, and I've already had two ultrasounds and two echos in the past few weeks, this unexpected news really freaked me and DH out. I spoke to the nurse practitioner this morning and she told me that during last week's echo, someone thought they saw "something on the baby's hand." "Something, like what?" I asked. "An extra digit," she replied. WTF? The cardiologists performing the echo last week even commented that we shouldn't trust anything they had to say about any other part of the baby's anatomy, because they could say that the baby's left butt cheek was larger than the right and it wouldn't have anything to do with anything, since they aren't experts in this area. So why are they going around telling people that my baby may have six fingers? Ugh! I am oversimplifying everything, and I really love all umpteen doctors we find ourselves involved with and know that they are trying to give us every possible reassurance, but c'mon. So tomorrow we get to spend another several hours in the hospital to a) make sure Natalie's heart is still okay and b) find out if she has six fingers or five fingers and one penis, which my mother suspects may be the case. The suspense is killing me!
