Beverly told us that she had several pictures she needed to take before telling us what we were looking at. It was so amazing to watch her find things like the kidneys, stomach, spinal cord, and other unrecognizable parts (at least to us) that she was labeling with abbreviations. They all just looked like dark blobs.
Baby Tabor was all curled up at first, with its back to us. I told Beverly I was going to be SO disappointed if we left without knowing the gender. But then the baby started moving (the green tea I drank on the way to the doctor was kicking in!). But yet again, the baby turned and was on its knees and all curled up. I started to get really worried!
Ryan asked Beverly how accurate she was at guessing the gender. She told him that she never tells the gender unless she is 100% sure that she's right. We were relieved to hear that. Then she said, "Oh, but I know what your baby is already. I'm just trying to get a better angle so that you guys can tell too." Ryan's eyes got really big! My heart started pounding. She still waited a few seconds to tell us, and then she turned to us and said, "IT'S A GIRL!" Even though that's what we had both guessed, it still took a few minutes for it to sink in. She then tried to point out the "girl parts" to us, but we still couldn't recognize what we were looking at. We just took her word for it.
I told her how amazed I was that she could pick out all of the different body parts. She turned to us and said, "I always say, there are two things I know - Jesus and ultrasounds!" It was priceless!
Afterwards, we met with our doctor who told us that everything looks perfect! Our baby girl is developing great and is in the 93rd percentile for her size. We are so thrilled that everything looked so wonderful.
My favorite Ryan quote of the morning: "Well, we better start saving up now for a wedding!"
I bought our baby girl her first outfit tonight. I know she'll have her daddy wrapped around her finger in no time!
