It's a BOY! (maybe)

We had a doctor's visit on Tuesday and he told me last month that we could find out what we are having if I come with a full bladder. The ultrasound reflects off the bladder so it would help him get a clear picture. Apparently I overshot the full bladder bit. I was so paranoid about not having enough water, that I drank a lot. I was in pain walking up to my appt because I had such a full bladder. :) Silly me... Anyway... when he went to do the ultrasound the baby was sitting Indian style. Yep -- legs completely crossed. AHHHH! My full bladder was taking up so much room that the baby couldn't stretch his legs out. The doctor got one decent shot and said he had a guess if we wanted to hear it. He said that if he had to make a guess he thinks that he saw boy parts. He followed that with -- don't go painting the nursery, if you buy clothes - save all the receipts, etc. So our next visit is the big ultrasound and we should be able to get a more concise answer then. Below are ultrasound pics (you can click on the picture to make it much bigger) -- the arrow on the first one is pointing to possible boy parts. The baby's bottom is on the bottom, with a thigh bone pointing up.

The second ultrasound is the 3D. With great ultrasound reading skills you can make out a face with eye sockets and a chin. There is a little V down at the bottom and that is the elbow joint. Looks quite alien-ish, but still fun to see the little baby growing and changing each visit.

So stay tuned for a confirmation of the baby's sex. We should know in a month or so.
