My A/S appt is tomorrow!-Updated

[imoan]

At 9am.

I'm scared and nervous all at the same time.

The nice thing about this particular appointment is the fact that I went from not feeling any movement to getting kicked and poked constantly throughout the day. So it's nice that I'm not currently freaking out that I'll get there and they'll say there is no heartbeat. There is CLEARLY something alive and kickin' in there.

However, I'm terrified of the A/S ultrasound itself. You just never know, and that's scary. And I'm kind of weirded out that as of tomorrow (if it cooperates), my baby will have an identity. It's kind of nice right now... thinking it could be ANYTHING (including that hermaphroditic unicorn they always talk about on The Bump). It'll be weird that by this time tomorrow, I'll (hopefully) have a "he" or "she" instead of an "it".

UPDATE: it's a GIRL! And everything looks perfect.

Yay! Are you hoping for one or another?

I wanted a girl for as long as I could remember. However, I'm totally convinced this is a boy. And since realizing that, the idea of a boy has appealed to me more and more. To the point where I think I actually might have a split second of disappointment if it turns out to be a girl. I've lived with this baby as a boy in my head for so long. LOL!

Good luck, I know everything is going to be perfect

[HoneySpider]

Aww, I'm sure you will be happy no matter what

[urbancowgirl]

Good luck!

Good luck, imoan! I hope you have a healthy baby in there.

My a/s is Friday (it was supposed to be last Thursday but I got bumped for an urgent case) morning!

Good luck, imoan!! And lol about your preference for a boy now, I'm literally doing the exact same thing. I've convinced myself it's a boy because I want a girl, but now I've really warmed up to the boy idea and dammit, now I don't know what I'll do for a split second if it is a girl!

Haha! I'm glad I'm not alone in that. I was SHOCKED when I realized that was how I felt.

My H says I'm being an equal opportunity asshole

[wkatie]

Good luck! Let us know all about it!

Mine is next Tuesday. I have no preference at all, but can't wait to find out boy or girl. I really have no inkling either way. I feel like I'll be surprised no matter what!

Exactly me with my first! I was so convinced it was a boy, after originally wanting a girl, and it did end up being a boy!

This time, everyone thinks its a girl and I have no intuition one way or the other. I think either way I am going to be shocked and then cry tears of joy

[emisi]

Exciting! Good luck, hope yours is more cooperative than ours was the first time around.

[yellowbrkrd]

How exciting! Good luck!

[iheartvino]

So exciting! Good luck!

[joolz]

Thanks, moaneroo! I can't wait for your update tomorrow morning!

This is exactly how I feel too! I figured if I expect a boy I won't be disappointed that it's not a girl but now I'd be shocked if it's a girl!

Good luck imoan, can't wait for your update

[jssymom14]

Good luck tomorrow!!

[ladygrey]

Good luck - can't wait to hear about it!

[baconlettucetomato]

[horseoutside]

Best of luck! So exciting!

[littlemisschatty]

How did it go??

[imoan]

Holy shit! It's a GIRL! I'm still in shock!

And everything looks "perfect" and "textbook".

[HoneySpider]

Yay, congrats!

[wkatie]

Lorelai. And POSSIBLY (it's currently the only name on the list). I love the name so much. It's the most beautiful name I've ever heard. I didn't even know the show before I heard it... the first time I actually heard the name was on an ad before it aired and I remember how struck I was by how much I loved the name.

But I don't want people thinking I'm "that person" who names their kid after a tv show people know you're obsessed with... you know? I'm torn.
