At 12 weeks and 1 day, we were able to find out the sex of our baby. How is that possible? Well, there is a brand new blood test that can be done as early as 10 weeks. The purpose of it is really to tell what the baby's blood type is, which is especially important for women who are Rh-, which happens to be me. However, because they can get to the DNA this way, they can see the chromosomes and determine the baby's sex with high accuracy.
We received our results this past Thursday. I had previously called the doctor's office and asked them to just notify me when the results were in instead of calling me with the results, because I wanted us to find out together. I picked up the results and dropped them off at Pinch of Sugar (if you haven't had their cakes yet, you should try them because the one we got was amazing!) and had a small 2 layer 6 inch cake made. They were able to make the color of the icing to correspond with the sex of the baby. Later that night, we had our own little "reveal" with the three of us. So we know whether the baby is a boy or girl, but we will not be revealing this information until next Sunday after we share it with our immediate family and close friends. You have about a week to cast your vote on whether you think it is a boy or girl:)
Of course, the baby's blood type is Rh+, so I will be getting the Rhogam this time around as well:(
