...Survey Says: !

Today was the infamous "find-out-what-it-is" day at the midwife's clinic.  We had planned ahead and had set our appointment for 12:oo noon so that Robbie could be there, and even called to tell them we were running a few minutes late to our appointment.  

Turns out it didn't really matter, as Machel (our midwife) was called into delivery for another patient.  We really got back to see her at about 2:50.  Though it was a rough wait for nearly three hours, I was glad to know that she is willing to spend time where most necessary.  If roles had been reversed, I would have preferred to have Machel with me and make the measly other patients wait until my baby was in the clear, safe, and delivered, so I feel like I can at least be nice and understanding.  

It turns out that Machel is 95% certain that our little sea monkey/gummi bear is a little boy...but as it is still growing and developing, there's a possibility it's really an extra-developed little girl.  The chance of that is, well, about 5%.  She is pretty sure that there will be no surprises the next time, and that the small little appendage is truly a little boy part.  I'm okay with that!

This top picture shows his little heartbeat.  He is upside down and his legs are stretched completely in front of him to the left side of the picture.  He's got his little head way down in the bottom (he's almost to pike position)!
This picture more clearly shows little boy parts, though not nearly as definitively as the ultrasound video (I can't figure out how to post those...if you know, let me know!).  He is again upside down with his legs out in front and his head scrunched down below.  

Can you believe it?

Carly,
I knew it was a boy, I jest knew it!
Anyway, dont feel bad if you don't find out next time for 100% either, my kids were soooo stubbron when it came to finding out if they were boy or girl, I had to have 4 ultrasounds with the first and 3 with the second.... my stubborn children. And still then, I was half expecting the opposite sex to come out when I delivered. So exciting...still, though, glad its you and not me, Yea!
