The moment we have been waiting for finally arrived! I had my 18-week appointment yesterday and we had everyone on stand-by for the text message that would reveal what we are dying to know...BOY or GIRL? My appointment was supposed to be at 4:00 p.m. on Monday and we waited a gruelling 55 minutes to see the doctor. I was the last patient of the day.
Dr. Brown quickly got down to business (after all there were about 6 office girls waiting to leave for the day) and started the ultrasound exam. The baby came up and the heart was visibly beating. She maneuvered around and I couldn't make 2-cents of what was coming up on the blurry screen. Finally she pulled up the image we were waiting for. In a very anti-climatic way, she said "I'm pretty sure it's a girl." Hmmm.... I asked for a percentage of certainty, "Like, would you say 90% sure?" She agreed to that. I can live with 90% certainty. It will be 2 weeks until I see the specialist again and she said then I will get a 100% answer. 
And that was it. We are 90% sure we are having a Baby GIRL!!! We are both so happy. We shared the news with our family and friends and look forward to start thinking about girl names!
