It's a ... baby!

Hello! What an great afternoon - NOT!! The Women's Imaging Center at my hospital has you change into a gown or two with nothing underneath. and then wait in a sequestered waiting room away from your family. DQ and both boys came with me and they had no idea what was going on. After about forty five minutes of waiting we were finally called back to a room together. Poor DQ - Holden had fallen asleep and had to be woken up. He was a cranky boy. Needless to say the ultrasound was not the "ohhh ahhh mhhh" moment I had hoped for. Scout refused to look at the screen and Holden sat on a trash can the entire time!

The baby was not cooperative at all. It had it's back to us and was under my belly button so she, the ultrasound tech, couldn't get a good look at it. she sure tried though. She pushed so hard that at one point I thought she was going to push the baby right out. After about thirty minutes in there she was ready to hazard a guess. She prefaced it by saying she couldn't be sure, but she thought it was a girl. Now, I am SUPER excited. However, a woman I work with JUST this moment told me that her middle child was a girl until 22 weeks when she found out her girl was actually a boy. Eight years later he is still a boy!!! UGH!

So...even though I am wearing a pink belt today, I am not buying anything pink. DQ has felt all along it was a boy and the heart rate was only 147 yesterday. Since the baby was in such a bad position I have to go back in two weeks for another ultrasound. Hopefully we will see a better picture then.

The wait continues. Either way it will be OK. If it is a boy I already have lots of clothes and I know what to do. If it is a girl I get to go shopping!!

til tomorrow -
