The sex of a baby
How do you feel about finding out the sex of your baby before it is born? I can’t wait that long, plus I like to plan and be prepared. I’ve only known a feel people who don’t want to know until the baby is born. Why? I can’t understand, nor will I ever try.
When I was pregnant with my son we found out the sex at 20 weeks. My husband, mom, and step daughter were all in the room. The nurse scanned my belly faster then you can ask “what’s the sex.” She told us with out a doubt you are having a boy. He was in no way hiding his little manliness. She said she saw the turtle, you figure that out. My son was legs spread; here I am mommy and daddy, your never modest son! My hubby and I said yeah, and called his name out while my step daughter exclaimed “all man, I wanted a baby sister!” Oh well, girls will be girls, she loves her brother and all is well.

I definitely wanted to know what my baby was asap! I couldn’t wait, and it was SO exciting to find out at that doctor’s visit…I’ll never forget.
Our ultrasonographer called it a “hamburger”…”See? She has a hamburger, not a hot dog.” lol
Still, when she was (finally) born, I asked, “She is a girl, right?” Because I’ve heard stories of how the whole pregnancy it was thought to be one sex only to have been mistaken!

I found out the sex on both. I don’t have the patience to wait. I had to have a Level 2 u/s because of my age, both were at 19 weeks. With our daughter, even the dr confirmed it was a girl, because one of our nieces had been proclaimed a boy during u/s, only to actually be a girl.
