We were away in France, Spain and Russia for so long that it was incredibly difficult to come back to the reality of day-to-day life.. and even more difficult to come back to China >_< Fortunately, to counter that, we planned to have a pretty monumental baby check-up appointment scheduled for the next day after we got back, so that we’d have something to look forward to – the detailed Level II Ultrasound! It’s basically a 45 min long ultrasound that checks all parts of our baby and ensure everything’s in normal working condition.
Plus, we get to find out………………….. the gender 😀 Something that we were eager beavers about since the very first day. A lot of people were asking me “So do you want a girl or a boy?”, and some were even kinda rude (IMHO) and trying to insist I tell them, insisting that surely I HAD to have a preference. Well, I don’t know why people try to force a gender out of your mouth (and even more so assuming you’d want to tell them), because we wanted BOTH – very very much! If I were completely honest, I’d say we most wanted to have twins – 1 boy and 1 girl… But since we just have 1 child, we don’t really care whichever comes out first, since we’re planning to have one of each anyway 😛
Quite a few of our close friends already know by now, and obviously all our family. But let’s play a guessing game here 🙂
GIRL…. or…. BOY?

I went with girl. But I think it really doesn’t matter which, although I find it amusing to think you seem to think you will definitely have both. I know a lot of people who have all boys, or all girls, or had to have 4 or 5 kids to get one of each. What I am most curious about though is how many times they tell you the sex and then it ends up wrong. It must happen, not often, but it must. Either way, if you want to teach the kid fashion sense you can do it as well with a boy as with a girl, and so many of the expensive toys a kid growing up today will want and expect like electronics apply to both genders. And, finally, if you think people are rude about names and gender, etc. just imagine what it’s like to get fat and have people comment about your baby nonstop when you aren’t pregnant. 😉 At any rate, you two will be great parents and the baby is wanted and loved and that’s all that really matters in the long run.
I say girl! 😀 Only because I want to see all the super cute girl baby clothes you will be buying 😛

the chinese say it’s better to have a girl first and i can imagine you doing girly stuff with her!! but doesnt matter because im sure you’ll have one of each =)
Really?! Quite a few locals here were telling me they hope it’s a boy, but I figure it’s just cos everyone here wants a son, lol
hehe probably! well the chinese character for ‘good’ consists of the ‘girl’ character first! though im not sure if that’s the only reason they think it’s good to have a girl first!!
I’m guessing it’s a girl for now..shopping wise will be ALOT MORE fun!
Girl!!! So exciting!
