Help with ultrasound--2 lines girl?

Hi all!  I'm new here, and having a hard time dealing with my ultrasound results.  I'm pregnant with our 4th, and desperately wanted a little brother for my boy.  We tried everything!  Position, timing, diet, etc.  Based on my symptoms I was sure I got my boy  (no morning sickness--I was sick with both my girls).  So I was devastated when the ultrasound tech said girl at our scan on Friday. 

We took the whole family with us because the kids were really excited to find out what we were having, and I got the feeling the tech was pretty irritated that my kids were there.  She didn't let us see the monitor at all until the very end, and then it was just a couple minutes, a few pictures and she said, it looks like labia to me.  After seeing the scans of my 2 daughters I agreed with her that it looked like a girl, but I wasn't positive, and I was so devastated I didn't ask her about how confident she was that it was a girl.  

Of course, once we got home, all the "what ifs" started kicking in.  So now I'm in denial I think.  I need someone to tell me to just accept the fact that we are having 3 girls and only 1 boy.  But there are 2 things that are bugging me--first of all, my younger brother had a VERY small penis when he was born (and my son wasn't exactly well endowed).  Second, there are only 2 lines instead of the classic "cheeseburger" 3 lines.  And it looks like there are 2 lines that are a little skinnier at the top and then 2 lines that are fatter at the bottom.  So to my warped brain I keep saying, maybe the skinny part is a penis and the fatter part is a scrotum.

 So if anyone can give me a reality check, that would be helpful!  Or if I'm not crazy and there is a chance it's a boy, I'd love to know that too.  I'm thinking about going and getting a private scan done in a few more weeks, even though we don't really have the money for it.  I just want to KNOW!  I appreciate any input, and would love to know if anyone has had a similar experience.  My scan was taken at 19 w 4 d, if that helps...

I'm trying really hard to just be happy that the baby is healthy, but I'm having a hard time letting go of the boy thing.

Thanks so much everyone!

I know its not what you want to hear and I'm by no means an expert but looks like a girl to me - I had my gender scan 2 weeks ago and it looks quite similar to yours and I was told 99.9% girl. However, my tech could always be wrong as could yours! Whichever it is good luck with your new addition.

I'm sorry, I wish I could say it looks like a boy but it does look like a girl to me.  It's kind of a grainy pic though, so I can't make out the lines too well.

I'm not expert but that looks like a beautiful baby girl to me.

I know how you feel not wanting the 3/1 combo, i'm the opposite of you, I have 2 boys and 1 girl and am hoping desperatly for our 2nd girl with this pregnancy. Anytime I get down thinking about my daughter not having a sis I read posts from ladies on hear who have all 1 gender and I realize how lucky I am to atleast get to experience both genders.

Congrats on your healthy daughter!

I don't have a guess for you but even if I did, I couldn't bring myself to post it because I know all too well how you feel. I posted my pic and everyone kept saying girl even tho I could SWEAR I could manipulate the pic to make it look like a boy! LOL! I have two girls and we desperately want a son. I'm not sure if we're gonna try for #4 but as of right now my heart is just broken. Which makes me feel like the worst mother on earth! We still get one more u/s done at 20 weeks so I keept praying that the Tech was wrong since she said she couldn't get a good shot. But anyway, just wanted to share my empathy with you.

 I'm gonna have to stick with the majority and say that this is certainly a girl.  I'm sorry it's not the gender you wanted.

Hi, Im not a tech at all but after having 6 girls you kinda get used to the girly pic's. If I had to put my money on it I'd say you've got yourself another beautiful little girl. Dont feel bad about how your feeling either because it is natural & once you have your baby delivered into your arms any thoughts you may still be having will fade away if they had'nt already faded away.....Congrats on your baby, Take Care... xox

 Thanks so much everyone for saying what I need to hear.  It's so hard when you want something so badly.  I was really convinced this was going to be our little boy to even things out.  Not that I don't adore my girls, I just have a thing for even numbers  :)

Now that I've had a reality check I think I can move on and be grateful for the fact that she's healthy.  I know she will be amazing in some way that will blow me away, so I have to just be patient to meet her and find out what that is...and my 2 year old daughter is thrilled to have a baby sister to boss around.  And with 3 girls, one of them is bound to take care of me when I'm ancient, right?

Thanks again.  This is a wonderful forum.  I'm so glad I found it!
