It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

I had an appointment with a specialist this morning (I'm considered high risk because of my age, 36). Everything looked normal and their were no markers for down's syndrome.

I was really surprised that they were willing to venture a gender, as I am only 14 weeks along. The tech was about 75% confident, but the Dr. was even more so!

I can safely start shopping for girlie things!

Besides, I am pragmatic...I have another ultrasound in 6 weeks, so if they change their minds by then I can take all the girl stuff back, LOL

Wow.... A Michlet is on the way. :)

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

Awesome!

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

Wow, and just when you thought you were starting to get life figured out! LOL! I am happy for you. It is a new adventure.

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

What a happy bit of news today, Mich!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Want us to start picking out names now?

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

yeah!! Happy shopping!

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

Adventure is not the word! LOL

We already had decided on both a boy and a girl name, but I am always open to suggestions ;)

(My mother is always insisting that you need a backup, because when my older sister was born, she didn't "look" like the name they had picked out)

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

You could name her after me. :)

Whooohoo! Little girlies are fun! (and you don't have to worry about the circumcising thing)

Yep, I think names need to "match" the baby!

Re: It's a girl...well, probably :)
 

That's true about the circumcision! Though I tried to explain to my husband, as excited as I was about the girl we were having, I was still sad about the little boy that we weren't.

He thought that was crazy, because how could you miss what didn't exist? And I tried to explain that before you know there is a possibility of both, and I think as women we think about those possibilities a lot more. Or is that just me??

At any rate, he said "too bad, this is the only one you get" LOL
