the genetic counselor called me 9 days later with my NIPT results (I can't remember at the moment which one it was) My insurance only covers blood draws at Quest, which they told me could add a day or two to the wait. I was googling typical wait times for results for the 300th time when the phone finally rang .
@jeanbean15 - you guys are too sweet!! I just posted this in the symptoms thread: I called the lab today and they told me they have sent the info to my provider! *GEEKING OUT!!!!!* Now just waiting for them to call me! Of course my OB is on vacation so they have to find a nurse to relay the information. I told them to hurry because my IL are leaving for Hawaii Friday and we want to do this gender reveal before they go because I am NOT waiting for them to get back, lol! Fingers crossed they get back to me today and they may just have a slightly irritated momma on their hands!
@crossfitbabybump I hope they call you back soon! So excited for you!

I just found out it's a boy. I'm having severe severe gender disappointment at the moment, but figured I would announce. Please don't let this take over the thread, and just message me if you want.
@vaewelch I am still going to "love tit" it, bc I celebrate every baby. I also know once you get use to the idea you are going to love that little boy with all your heart.
I know I will, but it's been a shock even though it was always a chance. I imagine both for the last few weeks, and it wasn't until the ultrasound that I realized I had been wanting a girl, and just horrible waves of emotion came over me. But yes, I will love him, I just need to do some serious adjustment.
Hi ladies, as most of you know, I lost my father suddenly a week and a half ago. The very next day, I had an appt. for 16 week blood work for the integrated scan to check for chromosomal abnormalities. All is well and tests came back low risk thankfully.
I told the perinatologist what was going on, how upset I'd been since learning the news the night before, and how I was worried because I had felt some cramps. I asked if they would use the fetal Doppler for my peace of mind. As it turned out, the office will be closed on Oct. 20 - the day we had my anatomy scan scheduled for - and they offered to do the AS right away if my DH and I could wait a few minutes.
So we had a surprise, early anatomy scan, the doctor said everything looked perfect and we found out we are having a little GIRL. Our hearts are so full. We're telling our family today.
I believe there are no coincidences in life. The unplanned anatomy scan the day after my dad passed felt like a gift - he knew how anxious I was to get reassurance that the baby is healthy, and even was suggesting girl names to me just a few weeks ago before we found out. Though this last week and a half has been an emotional rollercoaster of grief at the loss of my father, I feel comforted that he's watching over all of us and this little baby girl now.
@vaewelch I felt the same way too, because I so wanted a baby girl. I lost my almost year old daughter last year, so I was hoping for another girl. I felt bad for having that reaction. I am not trying to replace her, but I feel it would help me heal in some way. My baby boy is a blessing and I love him. You love yours too, you just need to adjust like you said.
It’s a boy! In the very beginning I thought girl but then this pregnancy started to feel a lot like my boy pregnancy, so I wasn’t so surprised. I was happy finding out today but not as happy as I thought I would be, as deep down I really didn’t have a preference this time around.
I found out last Friday that my first baby will be a little girl. My husband and I are so excited. All along I was thinking it was a boy, but our families have so many girls that they are so happy to add another.
Finally had sono today! First try was a fail, baby was not wanting to cooperate and kept its legs crisscrossed! They were gracious enough to squeeze me in later and try again. Baby shifted enough to let us take a peek and it’s a girl! Yay for girl #2!

My first, also a girl, was exactly like that! Congrats!
Re: It's a boy/girl!
