Did You Guess Right?!? Boy or Girl?

Today we had our doctor's appointment. Man, those things are so much fun when you have an ultra sound... not so much when you just look at the scale and pee in a cup, but when you can see the baby and hear the strong heart beat. Lucky for me I have the best doctor in the whole wide world. His name is Ryan Ollerton and he is my cousin, so I get pampered by him and all his staff. I am a snob and say, "We will only see Dr. Ryan Ollerton" with my nose in the air while twirling my hair with my finger. It is so much fun to have family in the medical world because you know you are not just another patient, and you take pride in all of their success too! When I tell people my OB-GYN is Ryan Ollerton, they always brag about how good of a doctor he is and how he delivered their babies and I reply, "Yep... huh... that's my cousin!!!"

Ok, getting back on track... our appointment today was wonderful. Baby weighed in at 8oz right on track for his/her due date. We got to see his/her little face and he/she was opening and closing its mouth which was so neat to see. I can already tell this baby has a cute bum, and the sweetest little hands. You are probably thinking that I get a lot of ultra sounds... that is because I do and that is because my doctor is phenomenal! Like I said, we get spoiled. Maybe you should go to Dr. Ollerton or find a cousin as awesome... all I am saying is don't be jealous. ahhahahahahahhahahah I am just messing with you, I will try to stay more focused as I get to my main point. Because we are only 18 weeks, Dr. Ollerton offered to take a peek for us to see what we are having. How could you deny that privilege?

So of course we agreed and just a few of you suspected it was a girl... you were completely wrong!!! The intelligender was right, we are having a boy! Can you believe it? Of course you can, most of you guessed boy anyway. It was as clear as day. Before Dr. Ollerton could tell us what we were looking at I knew exactly that this thing on the screen was no leg, no arm... it was a male organ that resembled much of a turtle! Another cool fact about Dr. Ollerton is he too served his mission in the Philippines, I don't know what year but I think he is 18 years older than me, so you can do the math. He made an image for Gian's family that read "pagong" which means turtle in Tagalog, indicating that we are having a boy. See, this is why Ryan Ollerton is the best doctor! I am glad you are starting to see my point.

Enjoy this image, you are looking at his bum. We will be getting another ultra sound in about two weeks for our 20 week appointment where they check the heart and brain and other wonderful things.

PS I do not know why it is sideways, I have tried everything. Sorry!!
