Hello Everyone!





So I went to see my Midwife on the 19th. Quick funny side note...David is so in tune mentally that he had called Mom while I was at my appointment to ask if I had found out the sex yet. Now for him not even knowing what day or week I was going to my appointment I would say he is pretty good at guesstimating. Love ya Dave!



So yeah, my appointment!! I went first off at 9a.m., thinking that is what time my appointment was. Come to find out when I got there my appointment wasn't until 1:30p.m. I'm starting to believe "pregnancy brain" really isn't a myth. So I go AGAIN to my appointment that afternoon and what was really funny about it all is that I really, really wanted to know what the sex was and so all morning I was online reading about ways to make an ultrasound read better. Hahaha...so, turns out there are a bunch of things people have spread on the net about what you can do.

• Drink a coke/or a fizzy drink - I chose a Sunkist :-)



• Consume a bunch of sugar (supposedly this will make the baby hyper so they move around a lot) - I chose a can of pineapple chunks, decided that wasn't good enough and went for a 3 Musketeers from the vending machine.(Have you tried the Raspberry 3 Musketeers yet!? Yum!)
  
  
  
• Have a full bladder when going in for the Ultrasound - which I did but the tech told me to empty it before I went in (so this myth isn't right).

Then on the way to my Midwife, (advice from Jenny) I listened to Aerosmith "Living on the Edge". Now I don't have a CD player in the car I'm driving, so ironically enough this just so happened to come on the station I was listening to oooh I would say about half way there. So, I'm dancing all about and singing the song like a mad woman!! (while driving, yes I was being safe) Thinking "just maybe if I sing loud enough lil baby will wake up and start moving about!" I would say that it was all just falling in to place, nothing could go wrong and I was sure to find out the sex of my baby!

So I get there.....and I get into the room with the Ultrasound Tech. and right when she put the device on my stomach the shot was right there! The very first place she looked and little Anabella was showing off the fact that she is definitely a GIRL!

It was so funny. I was thinking "yep, the steps I took definitely worked!" So one picture below is showing off that she is a girl and the last one is a 4D picture of her lil angel face. :)
