We had our "gender" ultrasound this morning, and we didn't peek! Well, actually, we never took our eyes off the screen...we just never saw anything, and the ultrasound tech even got a picture of the gender for my file! At the beginning, I told her we didn't want to know, and she did a great job of being very nonchalant. I am sure it was visible when they were checking out the kidneys, stomach and bladder...but we couldn't make out anything. Although I would be SO upset if I saw!
All of the organs checked out wonderfully, and the baby is very healthy. I drank caffeine before the appointment to get the baby moving for a fun ultrasound, and it worked. We got to see him/her move a lot and open and close his/her mouth. We have some cute pictures, but I'll have Nick scan them at work tomorrow so they'll be better quality.
I have gained 3 pounds, and my tummy is measuring right on target. The baby is 9 ounces and is measuring right at my due date.
For those of you who 'believe' in the heartrate-gender theory...
Elijah's was 148 and Hudson's was 141 at 18 weeks. This baby's was 146.
I'm not sure if I 'believe' in it, but I'm still sticking with my boy vote.
