It's A Boy!...Well...Maybe....

16 weeks and starting to show!

Today we went to see Dr. Spoon and of course since all of my books said that it is possible to tell the sex at 16 weeks, I couldn't wait to see if we would have an ultrasound today! Although my official ultrasound with the technician isn't for another three weeks (that is when we are really supposed to find out the sex), I just had to ask Spoon right away if we could have an ultrasound (he is, after all, a very ultrasound happy guy. He gave me the whole "well, its really too early to give a definitive answer, I think we should wait til your official ultrasound, blah, blah, blah." Well, lucky for us, our little one decided that he would trick Dr. Spoon into the ultrasound! When doc went to check the heartbeat with the dopler, the baby kept moving around and he couldn't get a good read. A mini panic attack later, down the hall we went to the ultrasound room - yipee!!!! Once Dr. Spoon heard the heartbeat, we went ahead and searched for a little something that would tell us if we were having a boy or a girl. After Dr. Spoon gave us his personal disclaimer that results may not be accurate, it is still early, don't be mad if he is wrong, etc., he told us that if he had to make a decision today, he would say it is a boy (actually, his exact words were that "it" would be pitching a tent)!!!! We are not getting overly boy crazed yet (I swear, I haven't ordered the bedding), but if Dr. Spoon's best guess is correct, we will have a boy! Bottom line is, if you have any bets going, I am giving you a great chance at success if you change your bet to a boy! Can't wait to see how Spoon's sonogram skills measure up!
