BABY IS A . . .
There are two types of people. Those who are going to scroll all the way down to find out the gender and the others will read all of this first. I am the first person, so I won't be offended if you skip all of this, but make sure to come back!
For the past two weeks, ESPECIALLY this last week, I have been OBSESSING over this moment. It's one thing to be excited (which I was), but another to obsess haha! The past 5 nights sneaking up to this day, I have had dreams about the gender reveal! I would wake up and feel so crazy. Can you blame me? I just wanted to know so badly; it was torture waiting! How did people do it back in the day?! I guess they had no choice. 😜 The first dream I saw pink which meant girl. Then the next few dreams I saw blue and truly I had absolutely no idea anymore! And I didn't care. At that point, I was perfectly fine with having either boy or a girl.
Let me just say that these last few weeks haven't been easy. The first Dr's appointment I went in, baby did not cooperate!!! That was one of my fears or that Dr cancelled or worse... something was wrong with the baby. Thankfully, baby looked great; active and healthy! That little stinker just didn't want to be seen. Baby had its legs crossed and hid in a pocket by my placenta the entire time. I was so bummed but it didn't take long for me to laugh about it. OF COURSE this would happen to ME!!! That also meant that I would go a little longer not knowing and I am a really impatient person (trying to work on it) so it sucked to wait more.
A week and a half later and luckily I was able to schedule an anatomy scan this morning (12/28). The ultrasound appointment was so long because they check for absolutely everything, but I didn't care because I was laying down, relaxing, watching my baby on the flat screen TV. I was living the life! The tech was super friendly and kind and I spent the entire time talking and asking her questions. Apparently she's not allowed to tell me if something is wrong or tell me that everything is fine, so I was nervous, but by her impressions and ultrasound images, baby looks absolutely great! I actually go back in tomorrow morning to get more pictures of the heart and head because baby decided it was time for a nap and was in a weird position where Morgan (the tech) couldn't get those images. LOL. I felt so bad for her, and she felt so bad for me! But I told her that I didn't mind at all because if I could, I would go in and see my baby everyday!
It's actually pretty funny because the first few minutes into the scan, we saw in between the legs and THERE I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PENIS! I told Morgan, IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?! She replied, I think so, but it might be the cord so I can't confirm yet. Later on, we were looking in that area again and BOOM!

Now I can start thinking of just BOY names and buy BOY clothes! Ah, guys, my heart is bursting!!!!!! This past week and a half was also the first that I really felt him move so this is all starting to feel REAL.
