Last week-April 15-I got to drink a butt load of water (I'm talking 16 oz of water every 15 minutes for an hour), feel as though walking may burst my bladder, and have a probe pushing on my stomach/bladder for 45 minutes threatening a stream of urine all over myself and the exam table. Good times! Obviously, it was all worth it to see our little skittle again at our anatomy u/s but wow, that hurt. As the tech was finishing taking femur, head, stomach, and fluid measurements (which looked fine to me-but we won't know anything until my next OB appt on the 23rd), she scanned down to the pelvis. I asked her, "How's he doing?" She looked completely STUNNED and said back to me, "What would make you think that this is a boy?" Uhhh, because that's what I was told at my last u/s!? I said that I had had a private u/s in Tucson because I knew you guys wouldn't tell me the sex...I was right in that she wouldn't/couldn't tell us and could not even print out pictures of a gender shot or put the gender in the report to my OB. The tech kept saying over and over, "Who did your u/s? Was the machine good? Why would he tell you a boy? It is VERY obvious what this child is!" Of course that got our minds spinning. She said to google the image and we will know for sure. The picture was the classic "hamburger" shot with three distinct girly lines with no hint of a penis or scrotum. As we walked away (after I literally cried during the first time I was allowed to go to the bathroom) we were completely convinced that we were having a girl. Talk about a complete change in thought!
First u/s scan done by a private place in Tucson:
Once I got home I posted that pic of our first u/s on fertilityfriend.com to my friends and explained the story. I got a lot of responses that it very well could still be a boy (and that they can't be sure because I wasn't able to get a print out from the second u/s)! WHAT!?!? I honestly don't care the gender of our baby but I just want to know either way! I will be getting another u/s May 6 and I hope we'll get a clearer picture of what this child is! I'm also quite anxious to get the measurement report back and see how our skittle is doing/growing...only a couple more days for that.
On a complete separate note, a friend of mine drove down from Kingman this past weekend to bring me some baby boy (As her son is 2 years old and is due next month with a girl. She swears they are done having kids...) and maternity clothes. I've never seen so many baby clothes in one place before! Dh keeps saying that a Babies R Us exploded in our house. We are so blessed! If we do have a boy, this child will not need any clothing for at least a year.
Here is a pic to prove it (Indy had to be there too): The bins behind me are completely full too...
