Sonogram Results

[xmysticprincessx]

I just got back from my sonogram. (BTW, I'm 17 weeks now.) Of course, the technician had us wait till the very end to find out what the baby is going to be.
The main good news is that everything is there. 10 fingers, 10 toes. The heart looks good, and has a normal heart rate. The brain and spinal cord look good. All the arm and leg bones are there too. The baby was pretty active during the sonogram, moving around, kicking, sucking the thumb. The baby weighs about 7 oz, which is also normal for this age. There was nothing of concern, which of course made all of us relieved.
We brought in the baby's paternal grandparents and our sister in law when we were about to find out what the baby is. Everyone had their guess, and sometime in March I'll be giving birth to a healthy little girl! I was shocked, since there's a lot of males in my fiancee's family and everyone said I looked like I was carrying a boy. But we're really excited about having a girl, and the important thing is that she's healthy and everything that's supposed to be there is and nothing that's not isnt.
I'm off to the mall to start picking out more girl clothes!

It's so exciting finding out the sex of the baby. Congrats on the girl! I've been enjoying playing "hair salon" with my daughter as she will finally let me play with and style her hair. We're having a lot of fun with the blow dryer. Girls are fun!

I'll second the positive vote for girls - I am pretty happy with mine! Of course, I always figured that it wasn't 100% when they said it was a girl b/c they could have missed something. With a boy, I assume that they saw something that was hard to mistake lol! The u/s was right with both of mine, though.

Congratulations! Girls are so much fun. Mine gets sweeter every day. I've heard they're easier to potty train, too.

When I had my sonogram with my first pregnancy, they could identify the labia pretty easily. It was just three bright white dots.
