Week 20: It's a boy!!!
Mood:  celebratory
They had left a message on my answering machine a few days ago that the doctor was cancelling all her appointments for today. I was so pissed because I was looking foward to the ultrasound to see the gender of our baby. I had been excited for weeks. I told my hubby we would have to reschedule. Then he reminded me the ultrasound is not with this doctor, it's in another department. I was so happy again! I'll get to see my baby after all. So we went this morning and the person doing the ultrasound was about to have her baby any minute! She was huge and she said she was having a boy. She measured every inch of our baby, his leg bones, arm bones, brain, heart, abdomen, etc.. It took about 30 minutes! I thought she would never finish and she was rubbing my stomach so hard. I was scared the baby would feel as uncomfortable as I was! He was tumbling and turning all over. Finally she tried to see the gender and couldn't see a thing. Again I was disappointed. She said she would get a doctor to look. The doctor came and he tried to look and said it was very difficult to see. Then he said, " Well I'm 95% sure it's a boy". I was so thrilled! But 95%? He tried to show us the baby's penis but all I saw was a little white dot! Hardly a penis. But he's the experienced one, right? Who would know better than the doctor. I hope so. Hubby was all smiles and started calling the baby "junior". But I guess we'll be 100% sure next month. I'm just happy everything is going well and the baby is growing. Now I have to look up boy names!!!
