More importantly, our girl is measuring right on track (18 weeks, 1 day) for an August 29th due date. She looks healthy, happy, and active in there. She also looks a great deal like Camden did in his ultrasound pictures.
A quick little story: The ultrasound tech asked right away if we wanted to know the gender and of course I said yes. She headed right down to the baby's legs since they were open.
"Wait!" I said, "I want to try to guess." I stared at the open legs for a few seconds and was sure I knew. "It's a boy!" I said, "I see scrotum." My mom (who came along with Matt and me) agreed with me immediately. Matt later told me that he glanced at the ultrasound tech when I made my prediction and she was shaking her head a little bit. But, the baby quickly closed his (her) legs and so the tech didn't want to make a definite declaration right then.
"I definitely didn't see a penis or scrotum," she said, "So I'm thinking girl but we'll see."
The next 45 minutes were spent scanning the rest of the body and taking measurements. When our steady chatter died down, I heard a song playing softly in the background and laughed to myself but didn't say anything out loud. Matt, it turns out, was on the same page as me.
"What an appropriate song," he said as John Mayer's Daughters played in the background.
"That's got to be a sign," said the ultrasound tech.
Sure enough, she switched to the 3D view just as the baby opened her legs again.
And now, meet our (currently nameless, unless you ask Matt who is calling her "Camdina" right now) little girl:
Life in utero is such hard work!
