Today was our freebie ultrasound at the vanity place.  We’d paid to go there after the *last* ultrasound was a no-go on gender, and since they couldn’t tell there either, they had us come back for another visit a month later without charge.

Sadly, I have no confidence in anything this tech says.  First, I think the equipment is less sensitive.  Her normal zoomed out view seems to have less resolution than even the zoomed in view of the perinatal place that my OB uses.  It seems to be more suited for gross anatomy views than anything really detailed.  At the official place they can zoom in and look at the various organs wth good detail, etc.

So although this tech saying “I can’t really tell, but I’m leaning towards boy” and pointing at a vague black blob gives me pause (I would have liked to have a second person saying the same thing to give me a little confidence!) about buying little girl outfits, I don’t really believe its a boy anymore than I can be sure its a girl.

Sigh.  Yellow and green, here we come 😉
