This clinic and a lot of others now will not tell you the gender of the baby which totally sucks. We like to find out the gender so we can finally give the baby a name and start preparing for it. If we have a boy we already have everything but if we have a girl we basically have to start from scratch...well half way.
I watched the screen like crazy, never took my eyes off it. I watched for boy parts...girl parts...but I could never quite tell. I didn't see any boy parts so I figured it must be a girl....but what if the tech just whized by that part and I just didn't notice. My heart was racing, I just wanted to know. The appointment was about 30 min and in the end left with 3 pictures.....beautiful pictures of my baby............but I wanted to know if this little person was a girl or a boy.
Up the street I stopped in at UC Baby, a 3d/4d ultrasound place...i've been there before with my last 2 pregnancies and loved it. I asked if I could get an appointment for gender determination and she had a spot for 645pm later that evening. I booked it and waited...........I felt like it was the longest day ever, just waiting for the clock to get close enough for the time we should leave.
As we drove there my heart was racing....I just wanted to get there and get it done....and find out. Either way it didn't matter but we just wanted to know. We finally arrived and I needed to fill out some paper work and then we were in. I layed on the table anxious to see....boy or girl?!
The tech showed us the spine, the heart beating and then the money shot...........we were shocked......... we are having a GIRL! Ryan was so excited he squealed and said "i'm having a sister!" I was so happy, yet shocked. I guess the tech didn't think we believed her so she showed us like 5 different times and views and she moved, and yes it was a girl....no boy parts!
We are having a daughter, we are so excited!
Sera Gabrielle will be arriving sometime between may 20-26, I will find out a date in February.
She's beautiful <3
