Surprise Appointment

As a lot of you guys know, our scheduled appointment to find out the sex of the baby is May 24th. One of our good friends is an OBGYN, and asked me if we wanted to come to her office, so we could find out the sex of the baby a few days sooner...um, yea! (She works at a different office, with different insurance, so I wasn't sure if that would be ok.) She assured me it was totally fine, and just something we'd do for fun, and advised me to keep my other appointment coming up. The appointment on the 24th will reaffirm that it's girl, and that ultrasound is used to check for any abnormalities, check the due date, and so on.

Needless to say, we took her up on her offer, and was SO excited! We got there first thing in the morning! Our friend was so patient trying to find girl/boy parts. The baby was a little stubborn at first, and kept her legs locked for a while. It took about 15-20 minutes, but Avery opened her legs a little bit, and it was pretty clear to see. Our friend said she's about 90% sure it's a girl. She said when it's a boy, the parts are 'right there', and easy to spot. It was so neat to watch Avery on the screen, moving around like crazy all bendy and cute! We're still really excited for our appointment in a little over a week, because we'll get to see Avery again, and because hopefully it's confirm that SHE is a SHE! Here are two pictures from right after our appointment!
