The Word

Well, the verdict is in: It's a boy! I'll post a picture so all you, "ARE YOU SURE?!" people can see. We're excited. Travis is ecstatic (he was teary); I'm a little unsure. Not to say I won't LOVE this baby, but I have a girl. I know what to do with a girl, but I know when this (NO name) child is born, it will be exactly what I wanted just like Sage was. So, now you all can start throwing some names this way because Travis and I really didn't want to start fighting over them until we could eliminate one sex. Let the fun begin. :)

Oh, and on a sidenote and to be a little more specific, everything is measuring perfectly. I've gained a total of 2 lbs so far (can I get a *woot, woot*). I opted not to have the "what if there are defects" bloodwork simply because...well there won't be. It would change nothing about the pregnancy other than cause unnecessary worry. Anyway, the baby was lazy; it wouldn't move. She said, "What do you want?" I said, "Well I personally would be thrilled with another girl, but my husband would love a boy." And she said, "Well the cord is right there between the legs...but see that right there? That's not cord. Let me see if I can get another view." And she turned the transducer some and prodded my stomach some (which did nothing to move him), and she said, "Yeah, see this? That's cord. Now see this? That is NOT cord." I laughed out loud, excited that I could hoard me knowing this news and Travis NOT knowing for as long as I pleased. I did tell him shortly after though, and he is ecstatic. Now...there's telling Sage. THAT could be tricky. She gets a little mad when people even SUGGEST a boy. We'll see how that goes.
