Three scans and nothing. Nada. Zilch.
When our OB told us that we'd find out our baby's gender on the 20th week scan, we were really excited and looking forward to it. Ronnel is hoping for a boy while I'm rooting for a girl. I'd like to have a girl to dress up, put braids and pig tails on and most of all, someone to shop with! Ronnel is hoping for a boy to play basketball with -- but I think it's just because he doesn't know how to raise a girl (coming from a brood of boys). He also admits being scared that he'd be too strict on a girl - just like he is with me!
On our 20th scan, baby had his/her legs crossed so the sonographer couldn't tell. We were told to try on the next scan. We had another one on the 23rd week and still, baby's legs were covering the view. The latest we had was on the 25th week and by then, we were really eager but still nothing. We even asked the sonographer to please look for it but we were told that it wasn't a priority for them. The scans were to confirm baby's health - not the gender. It was annoying because they didn't think of how important it was to us. Of course, baby's health is our priority too but if the gender can be determined, why can't they do it? Our friends who are pregnant knew as early as the 18th week!
So there, we were resigned to buying yellow and white clothes. I couldn't resist buying a pink baby suit though. Oh well, we'll just have to really wait till D day. Maybe on the next scan, there will be some leg-spreading action! Let's just wait and see. :-)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou must be really excited, hehe I'm sure the whole gender issue will work out to it's best
and yellow is definately a great unisex color :D
Thanks Ky! Yup, knowing the gender is just the icing on the cake. What's important is we'll be meeting baby soon!
ReplyDeletejosko bespren, how many more scans do you plan to have?! me i'm trying to hold off 4 more weeks before i get another one, it's quite pricey here.

hello bespren! haha, swerte lang dito kasi libre lahat ng mga scans... I think I have two more scans left. Siguro at nakaka anim na ata akong scan. Enjoy kasi tlaga makita si baby, lalo na yung profile. The last scan, parang pango ata sya kaya asar-talo ako kay Ronnel na mana daw sakin.. haha.

Good luck to us mamitas!
