Ultrasounds aren't always right!

in Northern California Babies

Just wanted to share...

One of my BFFs had a baby GIRL this morning... after what appeared to be clearly boy ultrasounds!  Not sure how it happened, but here she is, after months of prepping for a boy!  Sooo exciting!  Luckily they got most of their decor handed down and kept a lot of items gender neutral - but they'll definitely be doing a lot of shopping now! 

SweetieP - this is the StarTrek baby shower family! :)

    Congratulationst to them! I hope they were excited about it.  My SIL and brother had a 3d $$ u/s to find out the gender of their 2nd.  They thought boy, u/s said girl.  Baby came and he is all boy.  ;)  They were stoked though -- they really wanted a son and he was born weeks after our son was born so double trouble!

    I hopoe they aren't too upset about it. I alwasy think it would be very tramatic to have something like that happen. I know I bonded so much with the idea of Riley of being a boy even before his birth.

    I haven't talked to them yet, but I'm sure they're thrilled!  They had wanted a girl originally and had to psyche themselves up for a boy :)

    I hope they left most of the boy clothes with tags on!  A good cautionary tale not to be overzealous with washing stuff pre-baby :)

    Oh wow! That's one good thing about being old and having a CVS, you really don't have to worry about inaccurate sex determination when you are getting it right from the DNA!

    reminds me of the first thing i said after dd was born, it's a girl right ?!?

    the u/s tech never got a clear shot of the girlie parts and said w/ about a 95% degree of certainty we were having a girl. that 5% chance of it being a boy scared the living daylights outta me.

    This is a big fear of mine.  I actually saw the three distinct girl lines at our anatomy scan before the tech told us it was a girl but I still worry that she'll not be a she when born!

    oh wow! congrats to them though, either way is super exciting!

    This was a fear I had and in fact when A was born a nurse said "and it's a boy". Not sure what she was looking at. LOL

    Loved being a team greener!  Never had to worry about this, plus ALL my newborn stuff swapped to my 2nd kiddo!

    But I'm sorry for your friends- hope the transition goes smoothly- I can't imagine expecting/bonding with a gender and then having post-partum hormones and trying to re-establish that.  Good luck to them.  And congrats!  Have they named the baby yet?

    I think they're handling it well, but naming has been hard.  They said none of the girl names they'd thought of pre-ultrasound seem to fit for them now.  It would be stressful to have to decide all of a sudden, plus they are beyond exhausted after 22 hours of labor, 16 of it super hard labor, yikes!  Not to mention she was 2 weeks late.  But I'm sure it will all work out fine.  I agree about being team green - personally I love gender-neutral newborn clothes and, although we did know it was a boy by around week 32 (3d u/s - at the "big" u/s the tech wasn't sure) we didn't tell and I'm glad :)
