Making it through work on Monday until our 3:00 appointment was SO hard. I had to restrain myself from blurting out to every patient that today was the big day (not that they would have even remembered - memory functioning generally not so hot in the brain injured person). But the hour finally drew near and Matt met me outside and we raced to the office. The sonographer called us back and she was so calm - like she did this every day or something. :) First she looked at the brain, the heart, took measurements of the femur...etc. Said everything looked good. It was hard to make out what we were seeing - but the shape of the face and stomach were clear. At one point I looked at Matt and smiled and said "it's a boy..." - i just had this (wrong) feeling come over me. So the sonographer said..."well, are you ready to find out?" and scanned the little wand down to the appropriate area. "Nothing boy about this one" was the next thing she said...!
We were both a little surprised (guess subconsciously we thought it would be a boy) but very happy and excited. We are so thankful that everything seems healthy and so excited to now be referring to my stomach as she, not it. Now it feels so REAL - like suddenly we realized, oh my gosh we're having a BABY!
This is a picture of the cupcakes we got to celebrate with some friends that night. So much fun! I think Matt is going to be the best dad for a little girl ever (tied with my dad, of course).
