Ultrasound worries

“Sit down Mrs. Wagner” the nurse told me.
I sat in the chair with my belly turned up and laid back. The nurse poured the cold white gel on my belly and rubbed it. Matthew nervously hovered over her asking questions.
“Is it okay? What is it? Can I see the heart beat?”
“Mr. Wagner I know you are very nervous but you have to calm down or i’ll ask you to leave.” the nurse said to him. I giggled and on the screen the baby moved. Matthew gasped and the nurse laughed.
“Theres the heart beat she pointed. Hands, head, toes! Would you guys like to know the sex?” she asked with a smile on her face.
“Yes” we both said in unison.
