This was the month we found out the gender of our baby! At my 18 week appt, I asked my OB (we call him Hammy) to check the gender, which he gladly did. Kevin came to this appt with me because he was as excited to find out as I was. So, Hammy was scanning the area and saw nothing. He checked for about 5 minutes, said the baby's legs were crossed, was being vague, said it was a girl but gave us a 40% chance it could be a boy....he was all over the place. Now, Hammy knew we had 2 girls and knew Kevin wanted a boy. Hammy also backtracked about Hana being a girl because I started crying in disappointment when he told me (horrible of me, I know!) So, knowing how he operates and seeing no visible penis, we were pretty sure this was another girl. We were so convinced it was a girl and I was way super excited and Kevin was probably disappointed but putting on a good face. We told my parents, who were probably hoping for a boy too, but they told me how great daughters are. Well, I had my official sonogram scheduled for the next day and since we 'knew' we were having another daughter, Kevin didn't even come with me. I am no expert at reading sonograms but as soon as they got started, I saw the picture below and no one had to even tell me what it was! I got all teary-eyed and cried out "I am having a SON?!!" 
I had never felt happier for Kevin in my life! No sonogram I've ever had up until this one has ever turned out 'normal' and this one had concerns too. I hate that moment when the sonographer gets all quiet, repeats their measurements, keeps checking while disguising their conversation to sound positive and then brings in the real doctor to break the bad news. After it was all finished, I called Kevin and said "The good news is you're having a son!! The bad news is he might have something wrong with him." Yeah, I know how to kill the moment! I got home, where my mom was watching the girls and told her she was finally getting a grandson and she got all teary-eyed and gave me a huge hug and said "I knew it! Oh Jenn, I told you!"
Of course, I waste no time planning ahead and already had some boy clothes hand me downs just in case and was so excited to hang them all in the closet!!!
