We had an appointment with a doctor at Praenatal as mentioned last month. My wife's gynecologist sent us there to find out more about a possibly inherited heart defect I had as a child as well. (Absolutely not) Funnily enough, today the first thing the doctor told us was that at the current stage of the pregnancy, there's no way to tell whether there's this defect or not. Looks like the gynecologist sent us to the examination all for nothing. Nevertheless, he examined the baby throughly, we could see lots of details on a big screen. After ten minutes of concentration and focusing on the screen, the doctor chose to change the perspective to a view directly at the baby's genitals and seriously asked us whether we want to know the gender: It was all there and obvious to see on the screen - nothing at all left to unveil. Perhaps he thought we would want to know anyway. I don't know, the situation was almost comical, because he was absolutely serious when he asked us.

We had to interrupt the examination twice though, the baby chose a position which made it impossible to check if everything is alright with the head, so altogether we were there for over two and a half hours. Oh, by the way, it's a boy. And his nose is definitively Croatian, too.
