We are having a little GIRL!

So, I trudged through the morning trying to keep my mind off the ultrasound. Luckily it was early enough that I didnt have a lot of time to contemplate everything. The ultrasound went so well! The tech I had this time was very sweet and enthusiastic, unlike the one I had last time. She was pregnant as well with her second daughter. She listened to and answered my questions and pointed out different things as she went along. I explained to her what had happend at my last visit and why I was there and she seemed a little surprised. She told me that the baby looked good. After getting the measurements she needed, she rolled the wand over to my right side and got a clear shot between the baby's legs. She said that it looked like a girl though she said she couldnt be 100% sure until 20 weeks, from what I understand most tech's and DR's say the same thing. The Perinatologist then came in and said that the baby had roughly a .2% chance of having Down Syndrome, things looked good but since it was a little early (they typically do a Level II ultrasound at 20 weeks) he couldnt see some things and wanted me to come back again. At this point Im satisfied that things are looking as good as they can and plan to stick with my OBGYN from here on out. He certainly has a much better bedside manner than the Perinatologist and really cares. Here are the pictures from yesterday's ultrasound:
