Sex of the Baby

Last Friday Sept. 11, 2009 Craig and I had an ultrasound and doctors appointment. We were told that by 20 weeks we would be able to tell the sex of the baby on the ultrasound. We were so excited!! I told Craig, after today we will know who dominates in the house, boys or girls (we have 1 cat that is a girl and 1 that is a boy). We were in the ultrasound appointment for a good 30 minutes and we traveled all around my uterus. It was the greatest experience I had ever had. We saw the babies legs kicking, it opening and closing its mouth. It was very active. I could've sat there all day and watched it. The doctor requires you to have this ultrasound done at 20 weeks to measure the baby and see how everything is developing. So the technician took a lot of pictures. Towards the end, the technician said she was trying to determine the sex but was having some trouble. We asked "WHY". So she showed us a picture of the baby with its legs crossed!! The picture is a side view. And she of course wrote "legs crossed". She said that she usually can make a guess, but today she had no idea. I couldn't believe it. This child is already not cooperating. ;) Even though it was very frustrating not finding out. I LOVE this picture! It is so cute! And I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. After we did the ultrasound we met with our doctor and she said that everything from the ultrasound looked good and everything was normal. The only thing that they did not get a good picture of was the spinal cord. SO........she is requiring us to come back and have another ultrasound done. YAY! The baby will be much bigger then (25 weeks) and hopefully it will be spread out, with the legs spread apart. :) Plus we get to see our baby again! October can't get here fast enough.

So even though we didn't have sex news of the baby. We do have great news, everything looks good and normal!! And that's all we want! :)
