My OB does not do an ultrasound at 16 weeks. (I will be 16 weeks on December 28th). They sugested a place that does elective ultrasound early gender scans for only $75! I booked an appointment for December 21st. I will be 15 weeks. I am planning on keeping this appointment a secret.. having them put it in a sealed envelope.. and giving it to my husband on Christmas morning as a surprise! I love surprising him

It is a place that only does ultrasounds - (no regular OB appointments). I googled 'elective ultrasounds' in my area and found them. Then I called my OB office and they suggested the same place!
They said they should be able to tell at 15 weeks..if not, they will reschedule an appointment for me to come back after Jan 1st for no additional cost.
Good luck on your appointment!
That sounds wonderful to me!!! My DH hates surprises though and is fighting me on finding out before our Reveal at our Baby Shower (in MARCH)!!

Yours sounds like a wonderful Christmas gift!
We are doing that too, except we are surprising our families. I bought onies that say Grandma's little girl/Grandma's little boy and will wrap one for Christmas day. We haven't told anyone else about the appointment. They all think they will have to wait until the end of Jan. to find out.
Crossing my finger baby will cooperate! I'll be 15 weeks 6 days.
