Boy or Girl?
Several weeks ago – make that a month, I asked you guys to weigh in on whether you thought we’d be adding a baby boy or girl to the family. Then, a couple of weeks later, Steven and I excitedly trekked into the ultrasound office to find out.
With my belly exposed and being prodded on, the tech found Baby A, and called it – despite the flurry of movements and less than quality picture due to blurring. Steven’s face dropped and he let out a huge puff of air as the technician doomed him to more pink and hideous-to-him head bows. She had seen three lines, as blurry as they were and was mostly sure.
Yeh. I don’t do mostly sure. It’s one thing to not find out at all, but to think the whole time you are having one sex and to be all stocked up on blues or pinks and then…oh, what’s that? A penis? Vagina? Wait, what? Cancel the cute pink gingham announcements and someone hurry up and call our insurance so we can get this circumcision thing underway.
So, I had her do the …um…more “probing” ultrasound. And, turns out, it could be a boy. Or, it could be a girl. She wasn’t too sure, but she DID want to know what the hell I’d eaten or drank before I had come in. Nothing. That’s what. My child is just naturally hyperactive, if you saw Lorelei at Thanksgiving you’d totally understand. It may have something to do with their father. No, actually it does. Or, at least I’m blaming him for it all.
Tomorrow will mark the end of my 18 weeks (I’ll write updates later) and we’ll go once again to get a closer look at the she-man baby. The tech assured me that the baby was not in fact a she-man child, but what does she know? She couldn’t even tell what baby A was.
Do you know what this means? It MEANS that you get another day to post your guess in the comments. This is going in the baby book, dammit so humor the hormonal pregnant lady, okay?**

Y’know…..ultrasounds are something like 47% inaccurate. That’s a huge margin of error!
I say just let it be a surprise. We did with our daughter and plan to again with this pregnancy. It’s fun not knowing and anticipating the news with the arrival! 
I am seriously lacking in brain cells tonight because when I read your list of readers who’ve guessed I totally thought that was your list of names picked for genders. I was like, Ok, Tara R….maybe you’re undecided about the middle name but want an R name, Zoeyjane is kinda…different, but could be cool, Angie is cute but I always thought it was short for something……What? Hockeyman? Is that a joke or something? A boy named Kathy? Maybe you’re making fun of the unreliability of the ultrasound? WEASELMOMMA?!
And then I got it.
At least I can laugh at my stupidity.

My tea leaves tell me it’s going to be a girl. Ok, it wasn’t tea leaves, just spilt coffee. But I hear that’s pretty accurate for predicting the future.

Every one of mine came out a boy, even the one we were convinced should have been a girl, so I’m no judge.
Post the ultra-sound, I’m sure there is an amature OB who can figure it out.
My last one was broadcasting. When the did the ultrasound the tech was gliding smoothly over the roundness of my wife’s tum when suddenly she ducked to one side and asked us if we wanted to know. We said yes and she responded. “Good – i didn’t think i was going to be able to hide it from you.”
Another boy.
