Default What to expect at 12-week appointment?

(in the U.S.)...I am just wondering what to expect at my 12 week
appointment. They did a sonogram at 8 weeks, so I doubt they will do one
this time, they said they measure the belly- how do they do this? With a
machine or something more traditional?

I think they may want to do more of those blood tests for neural tube
defects etc. Other than that, what can I expect?

Oh by the way....when do they do the sonogram to determine the sex of the
baby- isn't that at around 5 months? I feel like it's a girl..and the heart
rate is high so by the old wives tale, it's a girl too...I really truly
honestly feel this feeling that it's a girl, I can't explain it.
