Paranoia.
I really regret not asking for an ultrasound photo of our baby’s private parts. That sounds weird, doesn’t it? But you know how, when you first become pregnant, you doubt the pregnancy test, the doctors, the Doppler, and everything else? Then when you see the ultrasound, you’re like “Oh, there’s really a baby in there!”Now I doubt the ultrasound technician, and even my own eyesight. At the time, I was certain that it was exactly what she said it was, and when she pointed out the relevant parts, I saw them too. I saw what she saw, and it was all good. Now the picture has faded from memory, and I think “Maybe I didn’t see what I thought I saw. Or maybe what I thought I saw was something completely different”. Even though the ultrasound lady has three children of the opposite sex, and knows what they look like on an ultrasound, and even though she was 96% certain, and we looked at the area from different angles, and for long periods of time (it wasn’t just a glimpse).
Man, I wish I could have another ultrasound or something. Every time we buy something for the baby in the relevant colour or style, I’ll be worried that that money is just going to waste. 130 days to go, then I’ll find out for sure. Until then… I’ll just have to try to wait patiently and not worry. Help!

At least you had 96% certainty! :) Our ultrasound tech said she was "pretty sure" that it was girl. That isn't very reassuring. Baby girl didn't give us a good look to verify either. :)
HEY ALYSSA! Even if the ultra sound chick is wrong it'll be ok cause the baby will just be mistaken for the other sex for a while! It's all good. It's in god's hands so it'll be fine. Surely you can request another ultrasound can't you? Just to get genitalia shots! I love you lots Al, luv u always ur sis Taz
I'm feeling better about it now, because my husband came back from camp yesterday and reassured me that I have nothing to worry about. He saw exactly what I saw, and it's very distinctly the gender that we think. He said there's basically no way it could be the other. Phew!
But even if it does end up being the other, we'll love it tremendously anyway.
