Our Baby's Gender?

Yes we are expecting a baby girl. My husband told me as soon as we knew that we are pregnant that it's gonna be a girl. Father's intuition, huh! Well I refute him by saying it's gonna be a boy. And then everytime he touches my tummy he'll say "how's my baby girl". I always tell him he's assuming. He challenged me to play a bet just for fun. If I accepted it I surely lost.

Then when my belly is showing a lot of my friends are telling me it's a girl. One time we went to dine at Golden Coral. The manager on duty was a Filipina. I've known her as Ate E. When I told her I am pregnant she asked to see my neck and then she told me without a doubt, "Oy you will have a baby girl". Then hubby said I told you. For me no matter what's the gender as long as the baby is healthy.

I had an ultrasound (US) on December 21 for the baby's anatomical dating but the sex isn't clear yet. I was on my 16th week of pregnancy then. I was scheduled again on January 18th for an US. I took a 2 hour break from work to go to the hospital. I went there by myself since hubby was busy. I was hoping he can be there with me but he can't get off in the middle of a military class. So I was the only one dealing the excitement of knowing our baby's gender.

When I was called in to the ultrasound room, the technician told me the procedure and then the anxious me asked her if I can know what my baby's sex. She said she'll try her best. Then after she took pictures of the anatomy of the baby she told me that it's a girl. As she pointed out the area I didn't see anything also that dangles in between my baby's legs :-) So it's a Girl!

After the procedure, I waited a couple of minutes for the US pictures which unfortunately on a 2D only. That's what you get in a military hospital I guess :-) But I am glad eveything is fine and the greatest part of it is we already know what we're expecting. I called my hubby as soon as I got off the hospital and he said over and over "I told you so!" :-)

We already have a name for the baby. We agreed for 2 names. I picked the first and he picked the second. He also wants to incorporate my full maiden name which gives our baby having 2 middle names. But we still have to try to shorten it so the baby will not have a hard time writing long names.
