It's a...

Here it is! The gender reveal video - unedited.

We know something you don't know!!!

James and I had the 20 week ultrasound (19w 6d to be exact) on Tuesday. It was so neat to see Macnugget's bones forming. Little white lines in its arms and legs. We could see the brain, the 4 chambers of the heart, the organs growing in the abdomen. It was soooooo neat.

Macnugget was not exactly willing to cooperate with the ultrasound tech. He/she was sleeping when we got there and was sleeping in a not so cooperative position. So, she had to start trying to get good shots... which means she was smushing and rolling him/her. He/she woke up fairly quickly and then became anti ultrasound. The tech had to chase him/her around to get the shots she needed to make sure everything was looking good.

Oh, and once Macnugget decided to uncurl his/her legs we got to see what was there... the cord! Little bugger was being a punk. But, after a few minutes the tech checked again and sure enough we got a "clear view" of what was there. All I can say is that I am glad she is trained, because I didn't know what I was looking at and even though she said she was sure it is a ________, I am still skeptical.

I know that the techs are usually right, but working where I work, I see the wrong predictions every few months. So, we will go with what the tech predicts. If we have another ultrasound we will try to confirm.

We are doing the big reveal with our parents on Sunday morning. I am making cake pops! White cake with the appropriate food coloring tint dipped in dark chocolate. We are going to have them bite into the pops at the same time to see the color! I think James' sister in PA will be joining us via Skype for the big reveal as well! This is going to be so much fun!

What's your bet?

Only one more week until our big ultrasound! Yep, 20 weeks is almost here - half way done! Still not really feeling any movement. A few bumps here and there at random, but I am not sure if it is Macnugget or if it is just gas bubbles or something.

Anyway, on November 9th we go for our mid pregnancy ultrasound - the anatomy scan. This is when they check things out to make sure that everything is developing properly. And this is when we can possibly find out if we are having a boy or girl. If we are able to find out we will announce it to everyone once our parents are informed on November 14th. So, don't pester us until after that date.

What do you think it is? Boy or Girl?
