During my Mom's birthday party, my brother came out of the kitchen asking if the picture on the fridge (a 14 week ultrasound photo featuring a full body shot)
was of baby #2. "It's a boy," he confidently stated. "It has a...schmekel." My mom & sisters also examined the pic. "Yep," they all agreed, "it looks like we know what you're having!"
And for the rest of the weekend, I was convinced (or at least 90% certain) that this babe on the way was, indeed, MALE. But before I started buying boy clothes, I needed one more bit of confirmation.
So, I googled "14 week ultrasound boy" to do a little photo analysis of my own...
After skimming dozens of grainy, black & white images, I settled on one that looked the most like our photo. Turns out, it was an ultrasound photo of a GIRL. Apparently, the tailbone can often be confused with another piece of "anatomy" at that stage of the pregnancy. Hmmm.
So, I am back in the boat of unknowing. And I can honestly say that I really do like it here. At least we know one thing for sure...this baby is either a BOY or a GIRL.
**I do want to add that Wayde's opinion was never swayed throughout this whole ordeal (for lack of a better word). He once told me early in our marriage that he had a feeling that we were going to end up with all girls. If you know my husband, you know that he doesn't go throwing around premonitions all willy-nilly. So, we'll see if those sentiments are on track come this July...
Oh, Erin, you are just gorgeous! I don't know how you can stand the anticipation. It's almost too much for me! :)
ReplyDeleteAww, shucks, Mariah! You are the sweetest:)
DeleteJust reading through after seeing you comment on my IG and that you had a Ruby, too. Oddly enough, my husband and I have talked about the name Sterling for this baby if it's a boy! And we're hoping to be surprised, too! And I just had an ultrasound at 16 weeks and the midwife kind of told me she thought she could tell what it was so I assumed boy and now I'm kind of doing my best not to think about it b/c she told me the same thing about the tailbone possibility. Oh gosh, anyway, I feel like we may have tons in common. Congratulations on your new baby boy! One of each is so fun. ;)
