10 weeks today

Slowest pregnancy ever!! Can't I just skip on over to 26 weeks? I would feel a bit less impatient if I could at least find out the babies gender. Many of my friends were able to find out at 12, 13, 14 & 15 weeks, but my "by the book", no fun doctor is forcing me to wait until 18-20.  :(  I wonder how much it costs to go to one of those 3-D places and pay out of pocket to find out at like 14 weeks..? Hmmm....
