16w2d- where the sex is revealed

As you all know, I have been convinced that this baby is a boy from the very moment of embryo transfer.  I have borrowed a friend's portable ultrasound and stared at the genitals for the past two weeks often, waiting for the testicles to appear...but none did.  Finally I have asked my OB to have a look, and he did not see any either.  My boy has no testicles.  He apparently is a girl.  I was in shock for a few minutes, kind of disbelieving that my instincts have been so wrong, but truthfully I am very excited at the prospect of having a little girl.  I am very girly myself, and would love to dress a girl and let her hair grow long, teach her piano, have an official excuse to buy Barbies and teach her how to knit dresses for them, like I learned when I was small.  

Not to mention that MrH is such a ladies' man, it's not even funny.  The other day one of his clients came to see me since I had more openings (we work in the same office) and she brought her four year old daughter with her.  The four year old daughter brought two Barbie dolls for MrH, and she just about did not want to leave without showing the dolls to MrH.  That was so sweet, it made me smile the whole day. 

The little girl is moving a lot.  She started to have very obvious movements about one week ago, and now she moves every evening, so strongly that MrH can feel her from the outside.  With the ultrasound, one can see her sucking her thumbs, crossing her legs, hiccuping and jumping from one side to the other, kicking her legs out, and generally being so sweet that I want to eat her.  

So that's my big news.  The cervical measurements are pending for next week thursday.  With the little dinky ultrasound that my friend let me use though, the cervix looks long and closed still, but I cannot do proper measurements, so will have to wait.  I am toying with the idea of cutting back on work to half days only, as it seems that all I want to do lately is sleep, and I have had a lot of night time work that I found hard to recover from.
