And, We're Having A......

JUST KIDDING! We didn't find out what we're having...and it was on purpose! We always said once we had one of both, we'd try to not find out...and we did it! Some people think I'm crazy and I sort of do too, when I think about it! I was wild to know with my other two, even though I had strong strong feelings about what they were and I wasn't wrong either time. Kinsey is positive its a girl and so am I, but I try to keep my conversations about the peanut gender neutral. I have asked her about how she'll feel if its a boy and she either says "I already have a baby brother" OR "its not". I dunno, this time I just have this peace and I'm not worried either way...lets wait to see how I'm holding up when my nesting hits in March and I go to wash clothes and set up bedding and stuff! Honestly, I'm just glad it looks healthy and that there really is something in there! Does anyone know what I mean? I hadn't had anything more than a doppler heart beat before this, so I knew there was a baby in there, but I was still kind of detached. This just made it real for me! The first picture shows a hole in the baby's head. There really is no hole, I promise. Its just the 3D technology trying to figure out what the tech was getting on screen. This kid was pressed up between the placenta, (I guess they like that a lot), and the side of the uterus, so it was hard to get some clear profile pics. There is a picture of the peanut squished between two walls, and I know it looks like it has some definite boy parts, but I promise, that's the umbilical cord! There is another pic of the baby lounging in there with its ankles crossed and laying back pushing on me...hope I'm comfy! The baby is still pretty skinny, it won't start putting on some weight for another couple weeks, so it looks kinda skeleton-y. I doubt we'll get another ultrasound, it would be definitely nice to see it older, but I'm just happy the picasso-painting baby nightmares are over!

I am impressed that you are gonna try to wait. I don't think I would have the will power to wait till the end. The baby looks great though! I'm gonna guess you're having another girl.

It is so adorable!! I wanted a fancy ultrasound but they didn't get it till a month after my 20week ultrasound, grrrrr.
I am proud of you for not finding out the gender, the focus should be on a healthy baby...

good job with the waiting it does make for excitement in delivery. We waited for Lilli and when she came out i had no clue what to do because i i couldn't name a girl Rem Tyler. Yes we had a girls name picked but i knew it was going to be a little boy. It is fun to wait but i did kill me sometimes

That's awesome you got 3D pictures. I got that done with Kaylynn and we recorded it. I thought it was pretty cool. The dr. could see inside her brain, heart, and little ovaries. Technology is so cool!

Congrats! You got some really great 3D shots. Ours didn't turn out good at all. I hope you're feeling well.
