GIRL!
Probably.
My doctor sounded pretty dang sure that it's a girl, but I think she was reluctant to be like "oh it's definitely a girl" because a) the ultrasound machine at my doctors office is kinda old and not as clear as the one at the hospital (the hospital that won't tell us the sex because of liability), and b) there's always the possibility that "it" was hiding somewhere, even though she spent forever looking and looking and looking and couldn't find anything sticking out. hahaha. She said when it's a boy she has no problem screaming it from the rooftops, but when it's a girl she recommends caution. Basically, have fun picking out some girlie clothes, but save receipts, and please don't paint the nursery hot pink. I didn't plan on that anyway, so no biggie. I'm comfortable calling "it" and "she" now and Jeremy and I are both very happy. A lot of people are shocked, though. I'm telling you, A LOT of people thought she was a he!
I did tell my doctor that we would never be upset if it came down to it and the baby came out a boy though, at which time she relaxed like 9 billion percent. I'm betting you she HATES telling people this kind of stuff because if she is wrong, I'm sure people get pissed. I wouldn't. This is my baby and I will be thrilled even if the unexpected happens (plus it would make for a fun story later on). I will bring an extra gender neutral coming home outfit in my suitcase for the baby "just in case." I like to be prepared. heh.
Oh I'm so excited! I would've been excited either way, but it's like now I can just focus on "her" instead of "it" and that's kind of a cool feeling. I would've been just excited if it were a boy. It's just nice knowing.
Baby girl was SUPER DUPER freakin' active yesterday. ALL day she was going crazy! She didn't let up for the ultrasound either. It was so neat to watch her kicking around AND feel her kicking at the same time! Unfortunately the doctor only let me watch the screen for just a minute in the beginning, then she turned it away from me so she could work. I only got to see my baby for one brief second later on when she was showing me the umbilical cord (to prove it wasn't "it" ). I also didn't get any pictures. They didn't have a printer though, so I couldn't have. It's not like she just didn't give me any. Now I'm wishing I would've had Jer bring the camera to get a video of the whole thing! *sigh* Oh well... Like I said, it wasn't all that clear anyway. I still wish I could've seen her more, though. Eh, I'll get to see her plenty soon enough!
So yeah, it's a GIRL and we're very excited!

Do you plan on buying baby items that are gender neutral (carseat, pack n play, etc.)? Congrats on your girl! I was guessing a boy for you too.. haha. Any names in the running?

I have a list of names, but we haven't narrowed it down yet... That's next on the ol' to-do list.

Congrats, Lauren! That is so exciting... I was hoping you were going to find out soon. I know I wasn't completely satisfied until I was told boy at two different appointments from two different sonographers, lol. Actually, I was was okay but DH wanted two opinions, lol.

YAY!!! I'm sure that at 23 weeks they are probably correct - "it" would probably be very visable if it was there! 
Congrats!! Whoo hoo!

Congratulations!!! I totally thought boy for you too! LOL
I always used gender neutral coming home outfits "just in case" even though it was obvious both were boys.
