We're having a boy!


Well my ultrasound was yesterday and as added cruel and unusual punishment the instructions said to come with a full bladder, drink at least 32 oz. of water/fluids 1 hour prior to my appt. So I did, all the way to Green Bay, when I got to my sister/brother in laws to drop the girls off, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I had to use the bathroom.. I feverishly drank 16 more oz. of water on the way from my sisters to the hospital (about 15 min) checked in at 9:20 for my 9:30 u/s appt., and I waited, waited, waited... at 9:50, I was almost in tears and said forget it, and used the bathroom again. Filled up my water bottle, started drinking and hoped they would still be able to due the u/s if my bladder wasn't completely full! They finally called me at 10 a.m., apologized for the wait and I apologized to the nurse telling her I wasn't sure how full my bladder was... The U/S tech comes in and says it's ok, we're actually in the process of switching over that policy and you don't have to have a full bladder anymore.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? So on we go to the U/S, she measures the head, spine, back, feet, other things while I wait for the important stuff.. She says you want to find out what it is right? I said yes of course, to which she than comments how his back is turned towards her, so it maybe a little hard to get good pictures.. I panicked and than about 1 minute later she says well it's a boy.. I slapped that poor womans leg so hard and said, "Are you kidding." To which I told her you have to be sure. She said we'll I can't tell you I'm 100% accurate but I'm pretty sure.. She than waited a while, and finally got a better shot and said there you go there's your boy.. She pointed out his bottom, legs and what was in the middle! :) I couldn't wait, had to ask if I could use my cell phone right there to make some calls, my poor husband was loading so didn't even get to talk to me, so I texted him, and made some phone calls/texts to grandparents, aunts, uncles and of course my girls.. Brookie couldn't contain her excitement, she screamed in the phone, I WANTED A BROTHER! I had fun shopping afterwards, he got a start to his wardrobe, thanks to Kohl's.. Here's his ultrasound pix, and yes if you want to know what's by his mouth, I'm quite positive he was blowing a bubble!

We are very excited that you are getting your boy! We think boys are great -- but I am looking forward to a girl! That won't be for a while though, not if I have any say!
