We coughed, we laughed, we poked, we jiggled to get Little Bit to wake up. Locating Little Bit in the mass of my belly didn’t take too long, but kiddo’s butt was snug up against the corner of my uterus and legs were FIRMLY crossed. HAH! This kid’s already being a teeny bit stubborn! Or maybe just shy and modest? We expect that, at 16 weeks, Little Bit would be a walk in the park. We drove the 15 miles to a random office building, walked in and met a nice man from South Africa who totally prides himself on a solid track record of identifying gender after 14 weeks gestation. A slightly pricey fee will get you a rather precise package of ultrasound pictures to find the gender of your child and most even have 3-D and 4-D capability if you’re far enough along and want that detail.įriday night was our night. This means we’re going to have to rely on less precise tests for chromosome abnormalities (not sure we’re going to pursue it now) and that we’ll have to wait like everyone else to find out the gender of our baby at the 20 week anatomy scan.ĭah-da-dahhhh! Did you know you can pay for “boutique” ultrasounds?! You find these places stuck in malls and random office buildings. Our chosen MaterniT21 test has proven to be a bust, even after two attempts at 10 weeks and 13 weeks.

When we were at the IUI in November, I was having a lot of trouble with getting the catheter placed and tensing up, Partner got me to relax by singing it to me there.įast forward to last Friday night. We have always sang it “OPEN your hips to me” (we knew we were wrong but it worked)… and it’s been a theme of ours during this 9 month rollercoaster with SRM and trying to conceive. The opening credits song is by Thao with the Get Down and Stay Down, “ When We Swam“… the lyrics repeat:

There’s an Australian show that Partner and I love, called Offspring.
