We were sitting on the examining chair with Dr. Bochner. Dr. asked us "so am I telling you the sex of the baby today?" I immediately said "I'd like to know but my husband doesn't so I guess not" to which Paul replied "yes, please tell us." WHAT?!
The Dr. first looked at the size of the baby and he said the baby's size was perfect for a 20/21 week baby. Awesome! Then he looked at the heart (we saw 4 chambers), kidneys (there were 2), lips for cleft (nope) and the brain for a hole (nope). Everything seemed to check out perfectly and the moment of truth came... He went to the between the legs area and there was nothing! It's a girl!!!!!
Our initial reaction was "are you sure?" I've been so sure that it was a boy. I've had 3 dreams that it was a boy and numerous people told me that my belly looked like it was a boy. It was just shocking at first to hear that it was a girl because it was so unexpected. It took a car ride to work and lunch for the "it's a girl" news to sink in. We're having a baby girl!!!! How exciting! There are so many cute clothes for girls and I can raise her like a little princess! I think Paul is scared of raising a girl... Which is understandable since he's 1 of 5 boys. I'm sure he'll be very protective and worried all the time. It'll be nice to have Paul be the worrisome one for a change!
