A "Surprise" of a Day

You are NOT going to believe the morning I've had. I had my ultrasound at 8 AM. Placenta has moved up enough where it's not a concern anymore - hip hip hooray! However, the baby is breech. Not good - considering how far along I am. So after the ultrasound - I waited for my dr. She comes in and says well the good news is that your placenta is no longer an issue. The bad news is that HE is breech. I heard this word he and about crapped my pants. I didn't say anything to her, because I didn't know if she just refers to every baby as a boy, or if she actually knew it was a boy - I didn't want to make her feel bad that I didn't know. So anyway - we'll check the baby's position again in 3 weeks along with my Strep B test and if it's still breech, we will schedule the c-section at that point in time. So I STILL don't know whether I'm having a section or not. That aside, I come home and tell Tom I am 98% sure we are having a boy. I told him what the doctor said and he's like oh my gosh. So then we are just debating on whether we should call the clinic to find out 100%. My whole point was - the surprise is already ruined if it is a boy. I don't want to spend the next month in a half thinking it's probably a boy - when I could just know for sure. So on Tom's way to work, he calls my clinic. They have to call him back and this is what we found out: The sex is not documented anywhere in my file. Since I told them I didn't want to know, they didn't write it down so there wouldn't be any slip ups. The nurse even asked the ultrasound tech if she knew the sex and she said no. So really, there is no way the dr this morning knew the sex - because if that would have been the case, we would be able to know right now too. HA. Can you believe this? So now we are back to not knowing. I'm so glad that we tried to find out though, because now even if it is a boy - I will still be surprised. I just like that the surprise element is back on the table. Now it's REALLY fun not knowing. What a day though, I tell you! I swear, by the rate this pregnancy is going - this baby is bound to give me a run for my money. This is the reason part of me thinks it's a girl. ha.

So I go back in 3 weeks - the week of Thanksgiving and I'll know FOR SURE whether a c-section is needed. I feel like I've been saying that for the past 4 months. ha. Ok I am going to start a baby pool now and I will post that later on.
