The 95% Guarantee...

We had our 13 week Nuchal Translucency (NT) screening done this morning. Basically it is a screen to determine if the baby has a high chance of having down syndrome. (The doctor also told us, as an added perk, that the tech should be able to tell us with 80% accuracy what the gender is...) Well being that Zeb's brother has down syndrome, and we love him so much that it really didn't matter to us what the out come of the screening was. Actually, I didn't even think about it prior to the appointment at all. All I kept thinking about was getting to see our baby again, hearing the heart beat again and hoping she would be able to tell us what the gender is. They conduct the screening by measuring the fluid behind the neck and check for a nasal bone. Both things looked great and they said we are right on track with a really healthy pregnancy. Then the question... what she thought the baby was... She asked me first what I thought it was deep down, not what I wanted but what I truly felt it was. I told her I thought from the very beginning that we were having a boy. I've had multiple gender dreams and in all the dreams I could clearly see the baby's little wee wee. :) Weird I know...

Well she said I was right! She said she is 95% sure that we are having a boy. She showed us his goods and showed us how it definitely wasn't the umbilical cord and it didn't look like swollen little girl parts. She said over and over "yep, its a boy alright". Zeb and I both saw it with our own eyes and feel very confident in saying that it is for sure a boy. BUT there is that small chance that she could be wrong... so we have an appointment with a 3D imaging center on the 17th of Feb just to confirm. Between her 95% certainty, my dreams (even Zeb had a boy gender dream) and Zeb's grandmother telling me the day I met her that I would have a boy then a girl (and shes never been wrong), I think there is a good chance that we are TEAM BLUE!

So after I leave my doctors appointment this morning this song came on the radio... it got me all choked up. I can't wait for Zeb and I to be parents. :)

p.s.- A little baby bump is starting to emerge so I promise to post some bump pics soon!

LOVE YOU ALL!!! XOXOXO
