"Did you say he or she?"

On Friday I went to the doctor for my 28 week appointment. The doctor was asking me all the normal questions when she said "Wait, did you say he or she?" I quickly replied that our baby is a boy, and I said he. She showed me the chart and everything had been labeled FEMALE. My heart jumped, but I had seen the ultrasound and it is ever so evident that we're having a boy. I didn't have my pictures with me, they are at home on the fridge. So I lucked out and got to have another quick ultrasound, because the doctor was worried I had it wrong. I of course was THRILLED!!! His features were even more evident. He still is very obviously a boy. He is healthy and strong. I got a really cute profile picture of him (as well as a spread eagle one)!

Isn't it amazing to see how your little one is developing? That's quite the shock to be told your baby is the opposite sex of what you originally thought. I've decided most of it is guess-work and you never truly know what you are going to have until he or she is laying on your chest for the first time. SO FUN!!

He definitely looks like his mommy.

It's hard being the ninth person to post a comment because it seems all my comments have already been made. Alas...Lucky you on the second ultra sound. I, like others above, would have loved to have had a second ultra sound. I still can't believe that ultra sounds work so well. Just with sound waves they can see a picture of your baby inside of you, how crazy.

It's not nice to scare mother's like that. I'm glad you got another peek at him. Handsome little profile! How fun! Boys are great!

That is so funny. I would be freaking out if they showed me FEMALE. At least they did get it right the first time!
