There shouldn't be one...you just come back and say, "it's going to be a..." (boy in our case 
)
But I'm unreasonable and illogical, even when I'm not pg.
I got up the morning of the u/s and realized that there was no way my insurance was going to pay for the u/s. Now why I didn't realize this before the morning of I have no clue, but we'd had trouble getting coverage and I wasn't going to get an u/s if I didn't have coverage and once the insurance came through I think I assumed all my troubles were over and well, I just didn't think about it.
I woke dh up and told him and he said we couldn't do it if we had to pay out of pocket. And all I could think about was the handful of ppl we promised to call when we found out. It seems silly now, but I still thought there might be twins in there at that time and I wasn't absolutely certain of my due dates and I was just so absolutely disappointed in not getting one, that day!
So over the course of the 3 hour drive, I talked him into it. I still presented my insurance card at the hospital but they of course said they couldn't accept it *unless I came through in the ER* and that they would work payment out and we went forward with it.
There is nothing like seeing that little baby. I even saw his profile, quite clearly for 2d. And I was thrilled to know I was right about the sex and okay with there just being one. And he and I measure exactly for our EDD.
I had a serious case of Monday morning regret though. After a busy holiday spent with both our families (which is where I've been) I had terrible guilt and remorse on the drive home. It's not that I wish I didn't know that he looks healthy, that he is a boy, that he isn't twins, it's just that I wish I'd had enough reasoning ability to realize that an u/s was a luxury we just couldn't afford.
: And that if I'd been willing to wait and negotiate I probably could have gotten one covered at a different location and time. 
Time for me to stop typing long enough to catch up on all the posts. I missed you all.

We are all allowed to be irrational at times. Heck, I still have no idea how we are paying for this homebirth, but I keep insisting on going through with it.
