The technician started with measurements on the head. And while she was working away, measuring the brain and skull and heart and spine and stomach and kidneys I thought "really? Do they do this on purpose? Save the gender for very last?" Yep. Pretty much.
Anyway, so at some point the tech finally said "okay, here it is, Baby is showing you the gender." Kristin and I just stared at the image on the screen. I could definitely see the two legs but had no idea what to make of what was between them. Ha! Finally the tech said "it's a girl!"
If I hadn't been lying down I probably would have fallen over. I had pretty much convinced myself Blue was a boy. So much so that I have been referring to her as him for weeks now. Hope I didn't completely mess her up :) We do have a picture of her parts, but I don't want to embarrass the poor kid already!.
Anyway, needless to say, we are thrilled! Time to start shopping...and no need to repaint the office/spare room turned nursery. Blue will have a girly, purple room :)
Kristin asked whether we needed to rename Blueberry to something more...girlish. I said heck no. Blue is Blue. She has been since the beginning :)
One more picture from today: When I first saw this one on the screen I thought "she's practicing her high kick!" Kristin thought "she's practicing karate!"...which I guess means whether she decides to be a Rockette or a black belt she'll be all set to go.
