drum roll please!

Today was the big day!  Ross and I woke up bright an early this morning to head to our doctor’s appointment to find out if we were having a little boy or a little girl.  We got there about 20 minutes early because we were so excited, but it was nice and quiet at the clinic so we got to chat and dream about what we thought our baby was going to be.  Ross was still thinking girl and I was still thinking boy.  We finally decided on our bet- whoever guessed right got to pick the next movie we watch.  A pretty simple bet, but a big deal in our relationship!

So, who was right?!  Well, I will tell you, the next movie we are going to watch is a chick flick…have you figured it out yet??  Yes, I was right!  We are having a baby BOY!!!!  We are so excited and can’t wait to meet our little boy.  In looking at the ultrasound, our ultrasound tech said she was 99.9% sure that we were having a boy and I must say, it was pretty unmistakable!  After we told her we wanted to know the gender, we found that out right away.  She then proceeded to show us tons of pictures of our baby boy.  His head, face, arms, hands, feet, back, spine, stomach, brain, kidney’s, heart- it was amazing!  And he was moving around like crazy!!  I still can’t really feel his movements, just little flutters every once in a while, so I couldn’t believe how much he was moving around.  At one point, our tech was trying to capture pictures of his heart and he kept sticking his face into the picture- he just wanted us to see his beautiful little face!  Our tech said I was right on schedule at 19 weeks and 2 days, so the due date is still June 2nd!

Knowing the gender makes things even more real than they were before.  We can’t wait to meet our new little baby boy.  We aren’t sharing a name yet, so in the meantime we will continue to refer to him as Baby J, but now I can picture a little boy every time I say that name!

What a blessing.
