Gayatri knows the sex

Thank you to all those who voted. I want to especially thanks to those who voted along with me and did not want to know the sex. Unfortunately, we lost. There are rumors that some people might have voted more than once from a single computer. I am investigating these allegations. There were no hanging chads to blame on, either.
Gayatri did find out the sex of the baby. I am still going to wait till March. Hopefully, no one will tell me till then. Here are the most recent US pictures. I dont have the one with the money shot.

Should we or should we not?

Should we find out the sex of the baby? The 20th week ultrasound is coming up next week. One of us interested in finding out and the other is not. What should we do?

Reasons for finding out:
1. Planning ahead and getting the nursery ready.
2. Moms are going to India. They can come back with great Indian outfits.
3. Bonding with the baby.
4. It's the same surprise at 20 weeks as it will be at delivery.
5. Excitement of finding out!

Reasons for not finding out:
1. Like surprises.
2. Since we are renting we can't paint the walls
3. The one thing we can control in our lives.
4. These days boys and girls clothes are interchangeable.
5. Excitement of waiting!

What are the possibilities of one of us keeping it a secret from the other?

4 month check up

I went for my check up and everything seems to be progressing okay. I was excited because my parents were here to take me to the appointment and I was hoping that they would get to see the ultrasound of the baby. Unfortunately, the check up was just a quick 5 minute meeting with the doctor. We did get a chance to hear the heartbeat, which was reassuring to make sure that there was still something inside of me. When the nurse put the Doppler on my stomach, we initially didn't hear anything. Then the OB took over and we could immediately hear the heartbeat. Whew! I was relieved.

Speaking of heartbeats, Anup has been trying to see if he can hear the baby's heartbeat while using the stethoscope but it's still a bit too early.

Every once in a while, I can feel the baby squirming a little. Like a little worm or butterfly in my belly. My nausea has gotten a lot better and I'm starting to get my energy back. I'm going to join a prenatal yoga class soon.

My parents have left and I'm very sad. They completely took care of me and I didn't lift a finger. Both of them were so cute with all that they were doing to help me but I think they were ready to go home after staying for almost 2 weeks. They're going to India in November but they plan on coming back to visit beforehand. After that they'll be gone for 2 months! :(
