22-6-2008 - My 20 week scan!

My mood while writing this blog: \'tired\'

---

So i went for my 20 week scan on friday 20th I was so excited because i have waited so long to find out the sex and i couldnt get any sleep the night before cause i was so excited and couldnt wait. So me and adam got to the appointment and i was in pain busting to pee lol. Anyways we went in and the lady was doing all the checks, making sure everything was ok and working like it should, and it was my baby is healthy and everything is in proportion, that was great to hear and seeing the baby again was fantastic! I told the lady i wanted to know the sex, she tried once and said the baby's legs were closed but she would try again a bit later after she took some more pics. So time passed and i was allowed to go empty my bladder and it was relief lol and i whispered a few little words to the baby "please let us see what you are please bubba" and i crossed my fingers as i came in layed back down. She took a few more shots of the spine and tried to nudge the babys bottom a little bit to open its legs but nothing, and i can remember just hearing the woman say im sorry but it wont show us. I remember feeling such disappointment, and just said to myself i knew this would happen to me, just one thing that i wanted to know so bad and i couldnt have it.. So we left and i cried for about 10 mins, the baby is healthy and thats always the most important thing and there was relief but i was disappointed that we couldnt find out, i have been waiting so long for it and i got let down :(. I got over it lol but now im thinking maybe it just wasnt meant to be and we werent meant to find out, be a nice suprise.. So now me and my partner are deciding whether to leave it or pay for another scan to find out. I dont know if i can wait till the baby is born to know the sex or just try again.. If anyone has advice please feel free, i need your help on this. xoxo luv me and the bubba :)

I found out with my first & regreatted it! My 2nd i didnt find out.......what a lovely suprise for everyone-a little girl after a little boy! I have just had no3 & didnt find out again....people didnt understand why as i had a boy & girl but i think that it totally took somthing away first time around,there was not as much excitment & build up! not knowing is what kept me going through labour & birth! there are very few suprises in life & this is one of the greatest! Its so tempting to know & really i was bk in Jan when i had my 20 week scan but now im so glad i didnt find out. x
Good luck with your pregnancy & what ever you decide to do! x

I am torn on this!! I wanted to be surprised at the birth, but then again I wanted a baby shower and I really dont like the "unisex" colors of green and yellow.. I don't think I could ever put my little girl in green lol.

So this time we were going to find out regardless! I say find out! But thats just me =)

ohh gosh! I couldn't handle not knowing, I was the same way you are...I started counting down the hours like 4 days before my scan to keep me busy so I didn't lose my mind! haha-- it would be an amaaazing surprise, but if it's your first you have to know! I say go for another scan! :) keep me posted on what you do!!
