At our 13-week ultrasound, we were told that we are having a little boy. She seemed pretty sure of herself and said that if the baby was a girl that we better let her know!
Now, at our 20-week ultrasound, we were told (by a different woman) that we're definitely having a little girl.
What in the world????
And then our doctor looked at the pictures (from the 20-week ultrasound) and told us that it definitely looked like a girl 'from this data', but that ultrasounds aren't always correct. And then he told us that 13-weeks is really too early to be sure about the sex and that the 2nd trimester ultrasound is much more accurate. But then he told us that the 'handful' of ultrasounds that are wrong are usually little boys that are just hiding their 'business'. And then he told us that he would tell us if the baby was a girl or boy in about 20 weeks. And then he told us that a group of midwives did a study and found that the best predictor of sex was the mother's dreams. What???--I can't even remember my dreams from a week ago, much less from before we thought the baby was a little boy!
And of course, if there's one thing that they're going to get wrong with the ultrasound, please let it be the sex. Thankfully, the baby looked 'perfect'---but now, I don't really trust the ultrasound for anything!
We could get another ultrasound, but I feel like that would just confuse me even more, so maybe we'll just find out the baby's sex the old fashioned way--wait and see what happens in September!
Dave and I already had a knife fight re a little boy's name. I guess that we should move onto the next battle--a little girl's name.

A girl would be fun. A boy would be great too! Either way a healthy baby is what you want. Congrats!!!
We're coming your way in May (Memorial Day weekend). We need to make plans to get together.
That's a bit insane to me. Do you want to call all of us in 20 weeks and have us tell you if it's a boy or girl? :]
tooo funny. same thing happened to us Emily. We were told e were having a girl. i had never ben so excited. then two months later my ultra sound clearly showed a boy with no coubt. i was a little sad for a couple days but of course by now im couldnt be happier. boy or girl once theyre here it will all make sense. Hope youre feeling better in your house. We have been constantly sick and in the ER this whole past month. one of these days when the kids and i get fully better were gonna have to have you guys over for dinner. ill let you know. for now im kinda just keeping to myself till the germs disappear. keep in touch.
