All we can say is "OH MY GOODNESS!" So, as it turns out...our Dr. was incorrect at 10 & 12 weeks. We are having a little girl. We are both in a bit of a shock right now and are really just trying to catch our breath. Everything in the ultrasound looked perfect. She weights 12.6 ounces. Just 3.4 oz to go and she'll be 1 whole pound!!! She's approximately 10.5 inches long (crown to heel). The Dr. said that according to her weight and length, she's in the 45th percentile of the growth chart, or 5% below the average size of most babies her age. However, most charts I've seen on the internet and in books say the average for a 20 week baby is about 10" & 10.5 oz and she's bigger than that! But anyway, Brodie and I were both small-ish babies too so we'll just have to wait and see. Her heart beat was 154 bpm. All of her limbs are of the correct number and length. Her intestines are all inside her abdomen. Her brain, heart, and other organs look perfect. She is doing just fine and that is all that really matters to us. I feel her kicking all of the time now and she is even trying to kick the remote off of my tummy. She is so funny already.
So, since we have had all of this confusion we are planning on having one more ultrasound before she is born. However, we are requesting that all gifts are gender neutral! :) You never know what this little boy or girl is going to pull next!!! Oh Buddy, I think we are in for a heck of a ride with this one!

Her butt is on the left and she is facing right. Those two bright white dots on the left are her pelvic bones. Her knees are bent so you can't see her legs. Her feet are the blobs and white dots on the right.
Baby facing us. Head is on the left side and her mouth is open. Her hands look like mittens. You can see her abdomen and her knees and legs are on the bottom right side.
