Echoing the congrats already offered.

Here's my story with regards to sonographic details revealing the sex.

I wanted to know as soon as possible. My wife wanted to be surprised on delivery day.

At one point during the sonogram...there it was plain as day. I knew instantly exactly the sex of our little girl, and the sonographer all coy like, started to play:

"Well I think I have pretty good idea what the sex of your baby will be. Do you want to know?"

"No!" says my wife.

"I know already, I just saw the imagine of that child as if a camera was filming a person sitting in a transparent chair from the floor. It is so obvious." I said.

"What? I want to know too then!" offers the missus, quickly changing her tune.

The sonographer then looks at me like I had just revealed the secret to an age old magic trick and said:

"What do you think it is, then?"

"It's a girl. Three distinct lines, and neither a twig or berries to be seen."

She got a chuckle out of that and said:

"That's what I think too."

Then my wife starting bawling. I think she probably would have either way

Anyway, the moral of my story is, to me it was a surprise to find out at 16 weeks. Just like it would have been a surprise to find out at 42 weeks.

As it turns out J8earette jr came at 25 weeks...and still managed to surprise us all

She's doing ok, for a 9 week old, whose not even supposed to be born for another month.

Congrats again,

-bear
