Well we have seen the benefits of Melissa working at the Student Health Center --> free ultrasound. There is an ultrasound tech that Melissa works with that wanted to test her skills out on Melissa. So with an hour's notice I headed over to her work.
There were 5 of us total in that dark room. An excited coworker of Melissa's, a tech in training, and of course the tech & us.
At first the tech couldn't tell the gender. She said "We're looking for a turtle or 3 white lines." But there was a shadow in the way with how the little sour patch was squatting. But the tech was 80% sure it was a BOY. As the time went on, she increased that to about 95% certainty. She found the turtle.
She let us take a video of the ultrasound. It was a dark room, so it isn't always a clear picture. It's almost 9 minutes long though. So if you have better things to do - here are a few highlights:

- Heart beating - 0:10, 3:35
- 158 beats per minute
- Baby shaking - 0:43
- The tech kept trying to get the baby to move by shaking it, she justified it as wiggling though
- Thumb sucking - 5:37
- Color coded umbilical cord - 6:36, 7:01
- Melissa insulting our boy - 7:28
- Turtle view - 8:00
- Hiccups - 8:22
