Matt and I decided we wanted to try to find out the gender of the baby a little earlier than we would at my dr.'s office. They will not do the gender ultrasound until 20 weeks, so we decided it would be neat to have a 3D/4D ultrasound done. I had seen pictures of those types of ultrasounds and some where when the baby came out he/she looked almost exactly like the ultrasound had shown. I found a place where we could have the u/s done and they would also allow family members in the room, and I thought that would be really neat to have them there.
My parents and Matt's parents and sister went along with us. We had talked about first just the two of us being in the room, when we found out the gender, then having our families come in and find out. The nurse started the u/s and searching for about 15 min. but the babies was so low and turned over where all you could see was a great shot of the spine. She said she wasn't sure if she would be able to find out or not. So we decided to go ahead and bring our families in at that point, and she would keep looking. After much pushing and moving on my belly she was able to see what she needed to see. We finally heard the words, "It's a girl! " My guess had been right, it was mother's intuition.
After we found out pink gifts were already waiting to be given, from our families. Her first of many pink outfits. We went out to eat afterwards to celebrate.
Little did they know we had the name already picked out and we had typed it up and hidden it in an envelope. We revealed the name and everyone was excited to find out. It was a great day!
