12 weeks, 5 days and tech guessed boy....can you weigh in??

Edited for one more question:

Thank you all for guessing. I've been reading up on nub theory like crazy since my ultrasound yesterday, and it seems like there is a sizable contingent of people who say nub guesses cannot be trusted as much as I might have thought...I basically thought by 12.5 weeks I had about a 2-3 percent chance of a boy nub guess being wrong. I tallied about 20 people in a fairly brief google search who wrote about their boy nub guess being wrong, and many others that I didn't count saying their girl guesses turned out as boys. The other picture I downloaded especially gives me pause, the one that shows the full body, because that one makes the nub look so straight.

Being that this is my very last baby and having a dd is a long-term dream of mine, I'm having a little bit of a hard time giving up hope, even though I'm trying to be realistic. Looking at this pictures, could you (honestly but gently) tell me how you'd classify my baby's nub:

A: This is a completely textbook boy nub, I think you're right to give this only a 2-3 percent chance of a girl.

B: Stranger things have happened, but I couldn't really see this turning out to be a girl (90-95 percent sure this will be a boy)

C: Babies are still forming and changing at this age, I'd say you have a fairly decent chance this could still be a girl (75-80 percent sure of boy)

D: I really wouldn't put too much stock in this nub guess, it truly could go either way (60-75 percent sure of boy, or less)

Thank you for indulging me. I'm driving myself a little crazy with the uncertainty of it, at this point I'm almost wishing I would have waited until 18 weeks or so, to eliminate the ambiguity.

It does look like a boy. I'm sorry it doesn't look more girly.

Thank you. Is it the angle that makes you think boy or something else?

3littleladies...I'm so glad you said that! I have two similar pictures like this that show the full body, and both of them make the nub look more girly. But that last shot is hard to ignore, but the baby is lying at an angle so I wonder if the nub is a little deceiving. As I said before, I think I'm grasping at straws, but I can't help but question things when I look at those two profile shots where it shows the full body...and I can't help but be a little hopeful when it's my very last chance!
