Excitement

So im excited, nervous, and a little sad. Im 20 weeks 1 day today and I go for my anatomy scan tomorrow to hopefully find out if we're having a boy or a girl and this is my last apointment with my current doctor.since we're moving to be closer to my fiance's family since he got a job out there a few weeks ago. Well he's at work this week so he wont be with me at the appointment so my friend is going with me because I HATE dr offices and hospitals. I feel a bit sad cuz hes not going to be with me to see our little one but I wanna come up with a more intimate way of telling him then a phone call and ill get to see him wed but I know he'll ask me when he gets off work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Take a dvd usally they record it my doc didnt allow you to be on the phone while she was doing the ultrasound not bc it messes with the machine but its just rude... is what she told me.

Can you call him while you are in the appt? I don't think that the machine would be a problem with cell phones but maybe call the dr office today and ask them. Then you can have him on speaker phone when you find out?? I know its still a phone call but at least you are still finding out at the exact same time. Or tell him baby wouldn't cooperate lol :) And then surprise him Wednesday with the ultrasound picture! Although that would be way hard for me to do. Not that I am one to lie but sometimes you have to bend the truth a bit to surprise someone. Good luck to you. If you have the option to buy the dvd of the ultrasound though get it because then he can watch it also. They are so fun to go back and watch. And babies do funny things during ultrasounds. Also drink some orange juice about 15 minutes before your appt cuz it will get baby moving some.
