Gender Reveal

Tomorrow, I get to find out whether I'm having a boy or a girl (:
Are there any tricks to making sure the baby moves and shows us ?
And what should I expect ? Will I have to ask them to tell me the gender, or will they just ask if I want to know ?

The will normally say if the baby shows us do you want to know the gender. I drank a cold mountain dew right before my appointment and she was moving all over and it was clear she was a girl.

Did you drink it right before, or like an hour ahead of time ? I hope I don't have a stubborn/shy baby (:

I drank something & the baby moved too much & almost didn't cooperate...I'd stick with a cold glass of water !

Anything cold/sugary should do the trick. You could eat a piece of chocolate during the ultrasound. ..i did that and my daughter moved like crazy.  Ice water,  Kool aid, orange juice,  soda,  coffee... any of those should work!

Our little boy was extremely cooperative, so we got lots of pictures. :)
I drank a glass of water and a cup of tea an hour before my appointment.
