Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?

Neither can we! As a quick update, last week we went for the 18 week ultra sound. At this point, you can see a lot of things with the baby, the heart, liver, stomach, finger/toes, gender, etc. It was so exciting to see how big the baby has gotten (check out the difference from the 7 to 18 weeks). We have to give props to the tech; the baby was moving around like crazy since I had a glass of OJ prior to the ultrasound so she was trying to keep up. After they did a photo shot (she took like 30 pics of the baby) she moved on for the big reveal on the gender of the baby. Turns out, the baby sat on his/her feet the whole time and we couldn't tell! After 20 mins of me turning on each side, talking a walk, doing a back flip (j/k,) the baby still wouldn't move!

This morning we got verdict on the final results of what the doc can see from the photos and....the baby is HEALTHY!! Yea!! When we had the ultra sound, the tech was able to get all the photo shots needed to check for everything, but since Chuck and I wanted to know the gender, she wrote that she couldn't see the feet clear enough, sooooo we thought we were getting another ultra sound at my next appt (next Thursday 8/20). Well apparently, the doc didn't think we needed another one, so no ultra sound next week. I then asked when the next one would be (the tech said 32 weeks) and she said not necc. If everything is progressing along awesome, we might not even need one then!! ahhhhhh!! To make a long story very long, it truly looks like this baby, no matter what we or anyone else wants, is not going to show itself!! We are going to make the final decision tonight, but I am sure if we wait until 30 something weeks, we may as well hold off :) Just as long as the baby is healthy, that is really all the matters :)!
