It's a boy!!

Monday April 26th was the big appt to find out the baby's sex. I made the appt for 5pm so that Jeremy wouldn't have to leave work too early. I had a huge hard test that morning and thought that would consume my thoughts but waiting until 5pm was very hard! I haven't been that nervous in a long time and I was shaky all day.

The time finally came for us to be in the waiting room and I was soo antsy. Jeremy arrived calm as always as we waited for a while. As I sat there imagining what the outcome of our appt would be Jeremy seemed a little more concerned about dinner. He was hungry and kept asking me what I wanted!! I had no clue what I wanted and was barely even hungry because I was nervous. I told him I was going to blog about how concerned he was about dinner that night right before we would find out the sex of our baby..

So the tech examined all the measurements as I searched for any sign of a boy part or girl part. She finally reached the measurements for the legs and I thought I saw a little penis. I looked at her and said, "That is a penis isn't it?" She said, "I didn't get that good of a view but if I were to make a guess I would say boy..."
Nice... I wasn't about to take that as a final answer so I went to the bathroom and did a little dance and jumped up and down so baby would cooperate. When I went back in the tech tried again and even though baby was very active she said that girls dont have anything extra in between the legs and she is pretty sure she saw the twig and berries.

I prepared for that moment since I became pregnant. I just always had a feeling that it would be a boy and I wouldn't care either way. Of course if i was being honest I wanted a girl VERY bad. I always imagined a girl whenever I thought of kids and the fact that I was ACTUALLY having a boy was starting to hit me.
We went out to eat after our appt and I was trying to be upbeat. We had called immediate family and text everyone else and I was having fun with all of the positive responses. I excused myself to the bathroom and when I was flushing the toilet my phone fell out of my pocket and landed in the toilet!! I was not very happy...
I washed off my phone and went back to dinner. Jeremy asked me why I was being so quiet and I lost it...I started to cry so hard and couldn't stop. The waiter came to ask us for our order but quickly excused himself as I was making an ass of myself. I just couldn't believe I was having a boy.. I wanted Jeremy to have a little girl so badly because he just loves them and I really wanted a girl too.
Jeremy said that having a boy is very very good news and crying about it makes him sad. I told him it was the disappointment of not having a girl, not the fact that I am having a boy. I wanted to have another girl in the house so I wouldn't be outnumbered all of the time and feel left out. Jeremy was very encouraging and reassured me that having a son of my own will be completely different.

Needless to say I am more than thrilled now and cannot wait for the arrival of our little guy. We do not have a name picked out yet but Jeremy calls him Daniel. I have a feeling it might stick..

I have felt the baby many times but not any big movements on the outside of my belly yet. I love being able to feel baby move around inside of me. It is one of the best feelings I have ever experienced...

More to come when we officially pick a name!
