We had our anatomy scan yesterday and it seems we have a modest little girl, she kept her legs crossed the whole time! The tech was able to show me the three lines and felt pretty confident it was a girl. I'll be holding on to receipts of anything I buy just in case but I wanted to share is with someone because we aren't telling our families. I really don't want a pink explosion in my already cramped apartment so it's best to keep it quiet for now.
DH and I really wanted a boy but we're both slowly coming around, he especially after I told him stories of dancing and playing tea with my Dad as a kid. The tech said there was still a chance she could be wrong so I think he's holding out hope, but he's still excited regardless.
The baby looks healthy and is really active. We were worried about a potential hereditary club foot but there were some definite right angles so our concerned is much lessened.

Congrats...Yay for Team Pink!
I always thought my DH would not be as happy with a girl as our first child but when they told us, his eyes defintely "glistened"! Now that she is here, he is even more over the moon and already talking about how she'll play lacrosse and that she won't date until after college...haha. He says she will have him wrapped around her little finger though...
The only thing my DH says negatively about having a girl is that with a son, you only have to worry about one boy. With a daughter, you have to worry about EVERY boy! hahaha.
Thanks Ladies! I don't think we'll be getting a 3D ultrasound, we just don't have the money for it. Thanks for the compliment on the name, both were our grandmother's names and we plan on calling her Josie.
I've definitely been talking up little girls and how my sister and I played sports and went fishing and all the fun stuff. I think he'll come around after the disappointment ends. I think I'm more nervous now that the tech might be wrong and we won't find out until it's born...good thing we can't paint in the apartment!

Congrats! After she's here you won't even be able to conceive of how life would be with a boy. Its like once she's here, you can't even imagine a life w/o her. I was completely convinced that DD was a boy until we got our scan @ 18 weeks or so. And you could have knocked me over w/ a feather when they said boy - and DH was kinda mad at me for being soooo convinced it was a boy that I had convinced him too. LOL - anyway - that lasted about a day. DD is one tough little girl who is super physical and loves to play rough and wrestle, etc. And, bonus - the clothes are super cute too!
I do think DH is a little squeamish about changing her diapers and jsut doesn't like to dwell too long in that area, but he'll do whatever needs to be done.
That is too funny--I couldn't written the exact same thing. I even bought a few boy things!
And like the other girls here said, your DH will fall in love with her!
Congratulations!
Yeah! Welcome to Team Pink!
DH wanted a boy also. He said "of course I want a boy, I am a boy...of course you want a girl because you're a girl," which is pretty much the truth.
But he's great with Sydney and adores her. I think he's really looking forward to scaring away boys when she's older.
Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much!
