The results are in!

Thanks to everyone who voted! As I mentioned before, everyone who guessed correctly wins a prize. The best prize a person can get. You are safe in the knowledge that you guessed correctly. What person doesn't like to be RIGHT (all the time)? So, who won?


Well, as the ultrasound progressed we were thinking more and more that it was a boy cause we kept seeing a flash of something between the legs. Problem is, baby was being very stubborn with its legs crossed and pulled up over the tummy. Baby was moving around lots and this was making it hard too because every time the tech got a glimpse, baby would move away. BUT, we did get a couple of shots. Like I said, Matt and I both saw something and we were thinking boy, however the tech said she knew what we were seeing and actually she was pretty sure it was a GIRL!!!

She showed us the 3 white lines that indicate the labia and the vaginal canal, plus there was nothing that looked like testes or a penis. Also, another shot from the side showed between the hip bones and you could see the hollow spot between them where with a boy it is solid. But like I said, little girl was being stubborn (or as Matt said "she's being a good girl") and had her legs tucked up so the tech couldn't get a good shot from the front. She told us she was sure baby was a girl, but since she couldn't get a better shot from the front she wouldn't tell us 100%.

So, 95% it is a little GIRL, but we have another appointment after we get back from Idaho, on Sept 9, to check again and see if she can get a better look. The really nice thing is that they didn't charge us for today's appointment since we are coming back. How's that for service? I highly recommend all in the Charleston area to go see them, they are great!
