Boy or Girl, Boy or Girl???

August 23, 2010

Monday morning couldn't come fast enough! Today was the day we're going to find out if you were a boy or a girl. Of course there were a few glitches along the way. I lost my wallet the week before and didn't have an I.D. so I thought for sure we were going to get to the Dr's appointment and they were going to turn me away, but they didn't! AMEN! This appointment wasn't at the Naval Hospital and everyone in the office was SUPER nice, even the gel for the ultrasound was warm! (Amen for the little things). I drank a TON of water that morning (due to the great advice of Jessica) and then I was a little worried that I may not be able to hold it! hahaha. but the tech was good and she took the initial measurements and then let me go. Then came the long part of waiting (just a half hour I'd say) to find out what you were. Brad said that the instant the tech touched you he could see clearly that you were a boy, since I couldn't see the screen I had to wait until she had confirmed and took your picture what seemed like 20 times. Dad was at the end of the bed holding on to my foot (The one time I think he's ever voluntarily touched them, lol) and was smiling the whole time.

I was able to see you a few times on the screen but Dad saw you the most and said that you have my shaped head! hahaha, well we'll just have to see about that one won't we.

Here is your face! :) how precious!

Look at those long arms and legs! Going to be tall like Daddy!

Jess and Dan were still in town so I got to rush back and tell them the news that you were indeed going to be a boy! Jess said that's what she thought you were going to be :) I said boy all along and Dad was saying Girl, though he did pick out the boy name and mom picked out the girl name :) They also confirmed that you were now 22 weeks and 5 days old and you weighed  just 1 pound and 3 ounces :)
