? thats right, its still a big question mark. the baby wouldn't reveal anything. legs were closed tight. he/she was very active, moving all around, but stayed very modest the whole time. lexi did the same thing, but the tech kept persisting till she could see something definitive. the lady we had today didn't even ask us if we wanted to know the sex or not. usually they ask you ahead of time whether you want them to tell you or not. i just ended up volunteering the information, and told her that we would in fact like to know, since she didnt even pose the question to us. then she wanted to know why we wanted to know and told us she thought it was better that people just wait and find out. she did try to find out for us but gave up a lot sooner than the tech did when we had lexi's done. and she didn't seem compassionate in the least, as to our disappointment in leaving without knowing. if she had been understanding and really tried like the tech did with lexi, and respected our wish to know the sex (which i dont think she did at all), i would have left feeling better even if it meant i still didn't know. but her lack of respect for our wishes, and lack of compassion, and the fact that i went in there without even considering the fact that we might walk out not knowing, really threw me for a loop. so i haven't told anyone anything all day except for a few friends and other mothers i know, who were able to really empathize with me, and did make me feel a little bit better. it is good to know that they would have felt the same way in my position and made me feel validated for being so disappointed. then i realized i really should explain this on here to everyone who was waiting to hear the news today. so there you have her.
