Today I got a box of baby girl clothes from my awesome sister, Rae, and as I was looking through it Eric asked for the ultrasound pictures. So we pored over them again. And he's not sold. I still think it's a girl, although I admit that the ultrasound is a little fuzzy.
The ultrasound did end up being at 18 weeks rather than 20 since our dates were off, so the picture's not as distinct as it's has been with all of our others. And we did think we saw something "boyish" earlier on in the ultrasound but then the doctor said, "I think I saw girl parts." But it wasn't in a questioning "I think" but just a conversational "I think" if you get my drift. But then the technician puts ?? next to GIRL....so the technician wasn't sure even though the doctor said girl? Or are they supposed to put question marks so we don't get mad if they're wrong??
What do you guys think?
A little "ultrasound 101" if you're not sure what you're looking at...at the bottom are two roughly roundish shapes, that's the bum. And you can also see a leg & foot. And contrary to popular opinion, you can see girl parts when it's a girl. It's not simply "lack of boy parts" that make technicians and doctors say you're having a girl. I've seen enough girl ultrasound to know that's DEFINITELY true. Question is....is this one of them?

Both times, my techs/doctors said, "I think it's a girl."
Even when they pulled Malia out, I had to ask, "It's a girl, right?"
We're a little unsure about this one, too, but are planning on a girl. I'll have an US in 3 weeks, again. Hopefully they'll guarantee what it is by then... :/
Good luck with yours. Again, couldn't help ya.
With Christopher and Bennett we did NOT want to find out gender but it was SO OBVIOUSLY BOY that they didn't have to say a thing and we could tell (even at 11 weeks with Bennett.) So our experience has been that you certainly can tell if it's a girl, but boys are not subtle and really apparent.
Do you have a name?
Heidi, Rae actually sent me pictures of Jaxon's ultrasound at 18 weeks. :) The funny thing is, this picture has so much "bum" in it, that if the angle were slightly different -- I'd feel more comfortable. But it seems like there is a possibility more could be hiding....Who knows though! We'll just have to wait and see!!
I hope it's a boy just so get the fun of variety.
And maybe for Eric's sake.
