Surprise!
Yeah that’s what my ultrasound technician told me! Well, I could insist but at that time I was so excited and happy with the fact that the baby was healthy and doing fine I really didn’t want to bother about the sex. I do regret a little now for not insisting but I think I can wait few more weeks until I find out.
When CJ and I went inside for the ultrasound, I was worried beyond any limit. I was looking at the screen when she put the wand on my abdomen and when I saw something moving on the screen I was relieved, Okay the baby is breathing!
Then she looked into the head (brain I think) I really wanted to ask her, ‘It is not going to be a dumb baby, right?’
But I really could not gather up the courage to say that – people are not always so good at getting my humors!
Then she looked into all the internal organs, taking a lot of measurements, my eyes were looking for any slightest hint – a little pointed thing or three lines but really could not figure out anything from my position.
After like half an hour or more, she said, ‘Okay you are done now and everything looks 100% perfect!’
I was so so sooooooo happy that I became all teary.
I got up from the table and asked her, ‘So it is a girl right?’ I thought it would be a nice way to ask her about the sex.
She answered, ‘Oh I actually did not look too well there, why don’t you just let it be a surprise?’ It was obvious she didn’t want to tell us.
I smiled back and said, ‘As long as everything is fine nothing else matters.’
But when we were coming back home, CJ seemed a little annoyed. He was like – ‘who is she to decide what is going to be a surprise or not for us!’
Then CJ dear you should have asked that while we were there not now when we are driving back home 
I am going upload the ultrasound picture very soon when I buy the batteries for my camera. I can’t believe it has been 9 weeks since I am planning to have some pictures in my blog but could not take any because I ran out of batteries!
Talk about lazy pregnancy hormones!

Congratulations! You always seem to get the bossy ultrasound techs, though, huh?
I’m glad the baby looks healthy. I felt a lot better after the 20 week u/s. We’re going to have babies! It’s going to be really great.
Oh, so happy with the good report!!! That is strange how the tech wouldn’t tell you the sex. Can’t wait to see the pictures.
I’m so glad all is well! Strange tech, though.
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
