BOY!
On Monday, Jan. 30th, we had an ultrasound scheduled to check on the placenta placement (I have previa for those interested). I said 1st thing - can you please look at the baby and see if you can tell the gender. She did her stuff she needed to check for and then proceeded on to the heart and the heart rate was 137. Now none of my babies have ever been that low so I immediately started thinking is this a boy. She then started looking for gender...she said it may be a boy and circled something with a big question mark. Alan and I both were like we don't see anything. She said I'm really not sure but it may be a boy. I can't tell for sure. She did some other measurements and then came back to look again for a better shot. We're pretty sure we got it and it's looking like a boy. She did give us the disclaimer that the cord was also down between the legs, but the 2nd look definately looked like a boy to me. She said she was 85% sure so that was good enough for us to at least share with family and friends. We'll go back in early March and get another look to be sure, but for now we're thinking blue, boy names, room changes, etc...
I have to say, I was a little shocked as I really thought it was another girl. My symptoms have been much like the girls so I just assumed it was another girl. My nausea has yet to makes its grand exit and it may do so at anytime. It took a day or two for it to really sink in that we're having a boy, but what fun it will be!
