Confused about baby's sex

[artsy fartsy]

I have had two ultrasounds in the last week.  The first one I had was Saturday at one of those private ultrasound places.  I was in pain, panicking, and couldn't get the on-call OB at my practice to take anything I was saying seriously, so I just needed to see the baby, make sure everything was ok, and calm myself down.  The technician at the private place said she was positive it was a girl.  She spent a LONG time looking, making sure that what she thought was the cord was indeed the cord and not boy parts.  In her words "definitely a girl."

Cut forward to today.  I had my regularly scheduled anatomy scan at my doctor's office.  The technician says confidently: "it's a boy!"  I ask if she's sure.  She points to something between its legs and says "those are the boy parts, I'd put money on it."  Those same parts the private technician was convinced was the cord.

So now I don't know what to think.  I'm tempted to believe the doctor's office, just because it's more "official" and because I hear people are wrong more often when they say "girl" than when they say "boy."  But I don't know what to think.  We've already told our parents it's a girl.  But now what do we tell everyone?  I think we've decided we'll just tell people "boy" and if it ends up being wrong, it ends up being wrong, but I'm curious what you all think?

I'd probably go with boy as well.

I would go with 'surprise'!    Did you get pictures of either?

I'd go back to that private place, they usually have a money back policy if they are wrong and might do a repeat for free.

I didn't think about that!  I think the place I went had that as well.  I would just call and tell them the doctor's office told you the opposite and see what they say.

Yes.  We got pictures at both places.  I have no idea how to read them though!

You could post them here or go to www.ingender.com and post them on their boards.  They are very good at telling!
