Hey guys! Just got in from the doctor a bit ago!
Just wanted to clarify before I talk about the apt. DH bought a Plymouth Prowler-- not Dodge Viper-- as you can see, I dont know my cars. I just knew it was a sports car that we had driven before- one like one his dad had owned... and i thought it was a Viper. My mistake. LOL I only know i made the mistake because last night i was in bed and said that if we were having a girl, we would have to be paying for a wedding one day- so he would need to go ahead and sell the Viper now.. and start earning some interest on the money
. Thats when I was quickly corrected and told just exactly what kind of car it was.
So we get to the doctor and wait in the waiting room. DH stopped at Hardees and I hate half a sausage biscuit (By the way- their new potato things are terrible... FYI). So we get back in the u/s room and she says "Is there something wrong? Why are you here at 18w. Was your apt a 4wk apt and they scheduled you 2w early?" I said "no..."... then she says "do you see the dr today"... I said "no..." She said "Oh, we've just never done a gender/anatomy scan this early in pregnancy before. We always wait until 20w." DH goes on to tell her that i used to work at that office as an employee-- i know my dr really well, and requested one this early because we were eager to know the sex. So she somewhat understood- but was still surprised that we were doing it this soon.
Anyhoo- she gets in there and tells us that little babys legs are held together, but she will try and move them in a bit. So we shows us everything on the baby, which was really neat. At first the baby wasnt moving (i knew it would be a problem this early in the morning)-- but then... we saw movement. The hand looked like it was trying to beat the u/s hand held thing off of him. SO cute! Then she says "You see that"... I say "Is that a *****?" and she says "100% BOY!" And I lose it. I just start balling. It was such an emotional moment. At that moment-- i knew I was bringing another life into this world-- and it wasnt an "It" anymore.... He was a boy! DH starts crying too. I swear, ive never seen him cry. We both thought it was going to be a girl- we have a lot of girls in both of our families-- but our families were really rooting for boys (to make up for the lack). We didnt care what it was to be honest- but we are both EXSTATIC!
Here is the face and body. If you visually try and look at the u/s photo sideways (im terrible at reading these and DH had to help me- so i figure some ofyou might have trouble too) The head is on top and you can see the body and spine.
His little feet (I still have a hard time making this one out- but DH sees it)
And his manly parts!
Piecey- I love that ottoman and glider. Cant wait to show it to DH. Now we can buy that stuff!!
Congrats to you and your DH on your BOY !!!!
