Yes! The scan revealed - eventually - that it's a girl!!!!
It was a LOVELY experience too - the lady we normal end up with is... very nice, but not exactly friendly, if you see what I mean... Last time she wouldn't have the kids in till the end... She was quite nice and showed them stuff when she had them in, but still...
Anyhow, when my name was called this time I saw it was someone different - a man, in fact - and so we kept our fingers crossed and he was LOVELY!
He welcomed everyone, encouraged as much noise and discussion as they wanted, explained EVERYTHING in minute detail, chatted about anything and everything - Dawkins and creationism came up, for example - gave us a sneaky look in 3D - I didn't even realised the hospital had 3D scanning - and slipped us some extra photos for free!
The boys had all decided, unanimous for once, that they wanted another sister, so I felt sure it was bound to be a boy, and indeed, a friend showed me how to dowse with a pendulum and it came up super strong as a boy, so imagine my surprise!

you and me both then - sounds like your scan was an excellent experience for your brood like mine was for ours :)
On the one hand -- congratulations! *big smile* I adore having a daughter, and what fun to have two.
On the other hand ... I had multiple scans with Calli, what with her twin dying half-way through, and then she was breech and I had an external version to get her to flip (at 39 weeks), elsewise it would have been a c-section (unless I birthed her at home alone: my homebirth midwives wouldn't attend a breech homebirth of a baby as big as she was predicted to be {i.e. more than 8 pounds}). Anyway, my long-winded point is that these were top of the line scanners: and every last one showed a boy Boy BOY.
Uh huh. Yeah right. Imagine how I felt when I found her to be a girl!!

PS: she was nine pounds, born at home after a 57 hour labor: can't imagine how it would have gone if she'd still been breech!
Congrats. I wanted a girl last time but wouldn't swap sweet shrek now. Except at five in the morning when I hear that sing-song "Mamaaaaa. Mamaaaa. MAMAAAAA"
Who am I kidding, I love that bit too :)
