Ahhh!! I just had my scan-- told the tech we don't want to know, and I said, "I'll look away until you tell me it's safe" and so she put the wand on my belly and then said, "Well it's safe to watch for now, I'm just measuring things like the brain, the heart, your cervix, etc..." so I happily watched.
After a few minutes I saw what looked clearly to me like wide open legs and boy parts!! I didn't say anything and just thought, "Well, maybe that's wrong... I mean she's not even down there is she?" and she chats away, "Ok now I'm measuring the thigh bone...."
AHHHH!!!! I DID see boy parts!!
I still kept quiet bc I didn't want to blow it for hubby. Then she says "Ok I'm going to take a gender shot so, go ahead and look away.." and before my head was even turned away there his little willy was again, clear as day!
I still played it cool, and then my son said, "Daddy no peeking!!" and my husband had a guilty look on his face, but tried to play it off. Then the tech giggles and says, "Well, there's no mistaking what this one is!!"
SOO if there was any doubt in my mind what I saw, her comment confirmed it-- you pretty much only say that when there's a clear willy on the screen....
So after we left, hubby and I both confessed that we saw. But HE confessed that he never looked away! Sheepishly he said, "The temptation was just too great..."
Sigh... I mean, I wasn't as upset as I thought I would be, but I was irritated-- the tech was so sweet and nice, so I couldn't really get mad at her, but she sure wasn't good at being subtle.
In the end, it's so joyous seeing baby that how can you really make it something you're upset about? I am a little bummed though, that I have no more surprise. It's like peeking at your Christmas presents...
Well, heeeere comes Thor Alexander Pedersen! I'm sorry ladies, it is not by choice that I revoked my membership.
I thought I was playing it safe by looking away in the beginning and warning the tech that I do not want to know.
