There are two types of pregnant couples, those that like surprises and those that don't. Hubby and I fall into the "don't" category. Aka we are gonna find out the sex of the baby. I have total respect for the people that can wait until birth but gosh darn it I don't have that much will power!!! Plus, baby clothes really are super cute.
This past week though the date I was supposed to find out has changed!! It has changed to later rather than sooner. I went to see my doctor the other day and told him I had my anatomy scan on July 25th and he asked why I was going to the USC place. I replied, well after I went there for my NT scan they automatically made an appointment for the anatomy scan. I didn't know I had another choice.
Then I asked quizzically, "I have other options?" He went on to explain that they only send patients to the USC place for NT scans because that is a very precise genetic test. He went on to say, that his office can perform the anatomy scan for a lot less money than the USC folks. I was like "cheaper," okay then. But then he said he was moving the date until August 5th. He acted like it was no big deal but I wanted to take back my cheapness. He said the reason he was moving it was he felt that the scan at 18 weeks was too early so he wanted to wait until 20 weeks aka the half way mark to do the scan. I reluctantly bought into his doctor wisdom but I was still disappointed I had to wait!
So I went from going to know what the sex of my baby in two weeks to four!!! It's hard to wait because on the forums all the ladies are finding out the sex of their babies. I feel like I am the last one left. I guess you can pay to go to a 3D/4D clinic that will tell you results earlier. I suppose I can wait...meanwhile, cute onesies and the paint for the nursery await.
Bummer dude!! Now these next 4 weeks need to go by quick!!
