The Jellybean looked great and was kicking and stretching and then doing karate chops near his/her face (like in the pic below)! Val commented that it looked like the Jellybean had my cute upturned nose too!
Another reason I wanted to be sure to get an u/s image at 13 weeks was because I wanted to check it against the "Nub Theory" as the most ideal timeline for this gender check is between 12-14 weeks. For more information on early gender determination based on the location of the nub check out the very bottom of this link: http://www.baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.htmlBasically at around 13 weeks all babies have a nub for genitals and the angle/position of the nub this early tells which gender it is going to morph into.
So a Boy Nub looks like this:
And the Girl Nub looks like this:
The theory says that if the nub is parallel to the spine like this then the assumption is GIRL and when I asked the tech she said she was 80% sure it was a girl (but not to paint the nursery yet)!I added my own lines to my pic so you can see where the nub is right below the top line almost pointing downwards and a parallel with the 2nd line going along the spine.
We get our gender confirmation ultrasound on the 31st when I am 15 weeks but I just thought I would share my excitement and maybe shed some light on the nub theory that I have been "nubsessing" over!!
