I went for my NT ultrasound yesterday, and I was sad that my husband couldn't go with me. So I was really excited when I found out the clinic had an app where they would upload all of the ultrasound photos (since they wouldn't let me take any photos myself).

I got home from work and downloaded the app to have them ready to show my husband when he got home. I was flipping through the photos in the "ultrasound" folder and flipped to a scan of my Panorama blood test results, AND IT SHOWED I AM HAVING A GIRL.

😭 I was devastated because I was home alone, just hanging out in my PJs, and found out unexpectedly WITHOUT my husband. I was planning on having a gender reveal party in 2 weeks. I'm also frustrated at the clinic because when the doctor told me she had the Panorama results, I TOLD her I wanted to know everything EXCEPT the gender. Why would they upload the image of THAT page to my ultrasound pictures!?!

I know I should just be happy that my little girl is healthy, but I can't help being upset. I called my sister crying until I could calm myself down and make a quick plan on how to tell my husband, who would be getting home in less than an hour. I ran to Target, got an outfit, and wrapped it for him to open.

Not how I planned it after seeing all of the super cute and fun confetti cannon videos and reactions that I had my heart set on. It all felt so anti-climactic that I feel like the excitement of knowing still hasn't sunk in.
