Today we went for a follow up ultrasound of Baby Bear's hips. The technician seemed a little frazzled with Baby Bear crying, so he ended up retrieving one of his colleagues to do the ultrasound. While this new technician (a female) was performing the ultrasound she asked me if it would help to breastfeed the baby to calm her down. I tried, but she didn't want to eat. Baby Bear was beginning to sound angry, and she was kicking her legs so much that it was hard to take the ultrasound pictures. The first technician ended up staying to help hold Baby Bear's leg in place. He just kept saying, "Wow, she is the strongest baby ever." They kept asking me if I brought a pacifier or a bottle. I had to apologize and tell them that (1) The pacifier wouldn't help and (2) a bottle would just make her even more mad. So then the 2nd technician asked, "Is she just mad about the procedure?" I nodded. They finally got it and moved on with the procedure through the howling cries of my baby.
Funny thing, once the procedure was over and the technicians left, Baby Bear immediately stopped crying. I changed her diaper, picked her up and she gave me a huge gummy grin.
What a funny baby.
