This past week I had another doctor's appointment and was going to have another ultrasound to make sure baby was growing healthily. Grammy Pat and Granddad was able to join me for this one as I thought it would be super special to share the moments with them as they witnessed their 9th great- grandchild (or so) growing. During the ultrasound the technician asked if I already new the sex of the baby after taking lots of measurements showing that "he" was growing appropriately. I said that we thought we were having a boy, but could you confirm that? She looked and looked, had me go to the bathroom, move to various positions, all that she could to see if she would be able to confirm the "boy" but after 40 minutes, she was not able to confirm! Oh man! We have "his" room all set up already! We only have boy clothes! We are not prepared for a girl, and now what is she telling me??? She can't confirm a boy? SO does that mean we are having a girl? Not exactly. Baby Steyaert is head up, bottom in pelvis, with spine toward the outside.. not exactly the easiest to see between the legs, especially at 31 weeks. She could see the bladder, kidneys, and other parts but there just were not "boy parts" where something should be. She said that if it was her guess that she would not say we were having a boy... but she was not saying we were having a girl either... So now we have a mystery... which is super fun but... I just gotta know! With any luck, maybe in 2 weeks we will be able to find out... She said after my next appointment to see if she was busy and if not, she will try to take another peek... Until then, my mind is blown and I am back to about 60-40 that we are having another little boy. I do know that I am blessed with great friends, that said in the chance that we have a little girl, they will have a party to help me redecorate the room for a little princess... What about names?? I don't even have one thought of. What about clothes? I got rid of most of my girl things when we were told this was a boy. What about raising a girl?I don't know how to have tea parties and frilly dresses and Barbies. But alas, I don't have to go there yet. This saga will either be put to rest next appointment, April 27th, or we will just be having a surprise on June 10th!
Whoever you are I will love you with all of my heart!
