We have a boy!

We are having a boy! The USD was a lot of fun. Jay was able to take off work and go with me. He was super excited and asking all kinds of questions. The night before the USD we had talked about how we would be kinda disappointed if we found out we were having a girl. Not that we would feel any different about the baby but we knew we wouldn't have a great reaction. When we were driving to the USD we both said we felt like we were on neutral ground and would be happy as long as they were healthy.

It was a lot of fun getting to see this little person and how they are developing and growing. He was curled up, head down, and sitting very low. His head was at my cervix. We didn't get all of the anatomy at this appointment since he was so low. She couldn't get the heart or profile view of his face. I will go back December 30th for another USD. He made it very clear what sex he was. When the tech was showing us she said, "I have to say, I'm impressed". We both died laughing.

I thought it was only appropriate during the USD the radio had "Over My Head" by The Fray playing. I was thinking "Crap, I really am in over my head". As much fun as I had at this USD, it made everything reality. I really have this little person growing in me. He is developing this little personality and I am going to be fully responsible for him and making sure he knows he's loved more than anything. I'm going to have be responsible for taking care of something more than my cat! Time has been moving way too fast. I remember my friend Michele telling me with her first pregnancy time moved so quick and she was taking the full pregnancy to prepare herself but with her second one time wouldn't move fast enough. I feel like I need to be reading all these books and preparing myself but will put it off thinking I have tomorrow to do it and then tomorrow is here and long gone. Time to start being proactive and prepare myself for this life changing experience!
