Look At That Face!

Last week we did our 2nd trimester scan AKA the Anatomy Scan. The tech checked all the organs to make sure they were there and functioning. I was nervous all week leading up to the appointment because I was worried that his left lung may be in her thigh or something. But everything was fine. We saw 10 little fingers, 10 little toes, two kidneys, a liver, a heart, a spleen, a brain and all of his little organs all in the right place and seemingly functioning properly. At first Dash was hiding her face with his little hands. So the tech shook my belly and she moved his arms out of the way and opened her mouth as if to say "What??". And that is when we saw his little face. Everyone who has seen the picture thinks the baby looks like a boy. See and judge for yourself. My girlfriend told me that if we all turn out to be wrong and Dash is a She then we need to make sure we never tell her we all thought she looked like a boy. 

During the scan the tech told us a lot parents aren't finding out the sex these days. I think it's awesome to be surprised. There are so few real surprises left in life and this is a big one. The hubby of course brought up that he did in fact want to know so right there we had that conversation again. And again I won. When it was time to check under the hood we looked away and I made sure to cover his face so there would be no peaking. There is no way that he can know and I don't. We have to be in this together. And I know that if he knew I would somehow find out. There would be some tell, some smirk or slip. He swears he wouldn't but I know it would happen and I would be really upset if I found out by accident. Anyways for now it is still a secret. 19 more weeks to go!
