Relief and Surprise!

I had my ultrasound today. Since I am already over 18 weeks they went ahead and did a full anatomy scan. After the last week and a half it was fantastic to actually see the baby. We had the best ultrasound technician ever and she was very informative. She told us everything she was doing. To answer a few of the questions that the bleeding caused, my placenta is great and right where it's supposed to be. The amniotic fluid levels are perfect as well. Baby is measuring almost a week bigger than our dates, but our dates are accurate so no due date changes. The bleeding is most likely caused by a cervical abrasion and doesn't affect our little one at all. I have to stay off my feet when I'm spotting, but things look really good. I was so relieved I cried.

We weren't really sure if we'd leave today knowing what we're having. Mostly we just wanted everything to be okay, so either way we would've left happy. The tech was great though and she knew very early on. She showed us and another tech confirmed out thoughts. So as promised I can now tell everyone how the intelligender test went. I took the test exactly as instructed. I even held my bladder all night long. First thing in the morning I took the test and it said:

The color code is right there on the bottle. Orange is for girl and the green color indicates boy. We got a very clear BOY result. I've never tried this before and we did it just for fun. We never bought anything or told anyone we knew what we were having.

Well today we know. The test was RIGHT! Yep we are having a little boy. Of course we're all elated that things look so great and he's growing perfectly!
