Today was our ultrasound and 3rd baby appointment. As usual I mentally ran through my head all the questions I had for the appointments, such as whether flu shots were okay and when my due date was...but mostly my thoughts were consumed with finding out what we were having. It's something that has been lingering intensely on mine and the hubby's mind, especially the last couple days. We were both nervous and anxious to find out if everything looked normal and to finally know what we were having.
My nerves must have really gotten to me today, because as I laid down and the technician prepared me for the ultrasound she asked me a question when my mind was elsewhere. She asked me "What's your birth date?" Without thinking I sadly said "I don't know, no one ever told me." She looked at me oddly and said "Wow, I've never heard that response before" My hubby shook his head and tried to restrain his laugh as he said "No, she's not asking for the baby's birth date, she means what's your birth date." I was so embarrassed! But it was such a relief to laugh about it since I was just so glad that this day was here.
It wasn't long before we could see how much more developed the baby was. It was so amazing! And I began to tear up seeing the spine, marveling at the hands moving up to it's face, and then mistaking it's stomach for it's head. Soon the technician found the angle the made it clear that we were having...a boy!
without a doubt!

As we wrapped up the appointment he began to hiccup...and it was so cute that tears welled up again. As amazing as that was, it wasn't the biggest moment for me...it was after we finished up with the doctor, who told us the ultrasound showed that everything looked normal. We were walking to the car and I was holding my stomach...the hubby was referring to the baby as our boy and I said "Our son" and we both stopped and looked at each other. We were in such awe and I felt so God blessed that I really began to cry.
without a doubt!

Sooo happy for you guys, and for me too! I'm going to be the uncle of the most spoiled boy in the family!
I'm so happy to know that I'm right you are going to have a baby boy. May God continue to shower you more blessings upon the arrival of this special child of yours. May your family grows more and more to know that you are given abundance by our good God. Luke 1:27 Everything is possible with God. Trust in Him and continue to pray each day in gratitude to His awesome love for both of you. Congratulations for having this great and special gift from our God. Love, Mama
Great news! Congratulations!!!
It's a boy! Our family gatherings are about to get a lot more rambunctious!!! Trips to Disneyland are going to be so different. Who am I kidding--trips in general will be so different!!
That checkup, so far, has been the most exhilarating experience!
This visit really validated the existence of our lil nudger since we actually saw him! Words cannot describe the feeling of when you hear yourself saying this
"That's our son"
He definitely was not scared to let us know that he's proud to be our lil boy.
It's now killing us to guess what his features will be like! AAAAHH!!
Love you honey/wifey/baby mama/pregga bella!
:)
So now, the name game can begin!!!
Congratulations to both of you once again:)
