Sad beginning...Happy ending

I thought April 27th would never get here!! It seemed like it was taking forever, but it finally arrived (yesterday, so I should have posted then)! I was nervous (it seemed like all day long, but my appointment was at 10:00am!) because we were finally going to be able to see what Heavenly Father has blessed us with. So, because I was so excited, I left my office at around 9:30am (which is extremely early for me. I have been on a "never on time" kick!!) to head on over to my doctors appointment, and meet up with Jeff who was unusually running late! Any who, the ultra sound tech called my name just as Jeff had arrived and we headed on back to the ultra sound room. She starts the ultra sound, and wasn't very informative. I guess I am used to my doctor being so good about letting me know what and where everything is. I found myself asking her if "that was the leg" or if "that was the head" etc. so I was a little bummed that so far it wasn't all that great of an experience. She continued on. I asked her if she was able to determine the gender yet, and she proceeded to tell me that it was a little difficult because the baby was in a breech position! WHAT!????! is what was going through my mind! I wanted to tell her she needed to take her time and be patient! We wanted to know!! I had asked her a few questions, and then she turned around and told me that we were all done, and that I needed to come back in a few weeks, and handed me 3 ultra sound pictures!!!!!!! I was upset. I really was looking forward to finding out. I wasn't surprised though. That is just my luck!! I have the worst luck ever, when it comes to stuff like that!!! So, on our way we went. I had another doctors appointment set up for the next day (which was today) with my doctor, so I thought maybe...just maybe, she would have pitty on me and do another ultra sound when I went in. So I go in around 11:20ish, my appointment was at 11:40,and waited for them to call me! (I don't know about you, but I don't like waiting to be seen! It takes forever!!) I finally get called back, and they took me to the ultra sound room!! I was sooooooooooo excited!! My doc eventually had come in, and I looked at her with a big smile and said, "Are you going to do an ultra sound???!!!" and she said "Yes, just to take a look and see how everything is going." I was so excited I wanted to jump out of my skin on top of wanting to throw my arms around her and start to cry!!! LOL I am an emotional mess!! :) and then I said, "and possibly look for the gender???!!!" and she smiled at me and said , "okay, lets take a look." So she was looking everywhere, and couldn't really find anything, so she went to get the nurse practioner. The nurse practioner had come in and was looking. She was having a hard time too!!! She finally found the baby! It was mostly hanging out on the right side of my body. As she was looking (you could tell that she was really trying) she pointed out the knees, and the area that she was trying to get a better view of, but the baby was just not budging. Bless her heart, she kept trying differnet things. I guess the little bambino is already modest!! ;) So eventually she got a few good views, and finally said..."It looks like it is a BOY!!!!!" I was like "really???!!!!" and she said "Yes, I am pretty sure it is a boy!" I think I was still kind of in shock!! She then told me that we definitely need to confirm in a few weeks, but was pretty sure it is a boy! So, I finished up with my appointement, headed out the door, and became an emotional wreck!! I don't know what had come over me! I was very excited, but I think that it had just then and there finally sunk in that I am actually pregnant and going to bring in a new addition to our little family!! It was very sweet moment. The only bummer about the situation was the Jeff wasn't there with me (he had worked a graveyard, so he was sleeping):( we really were not expecting to find out today! I thought I was going to have to wait another eternity!! So, we are going to have a baby boy! WOW!! I have tons to learn, but I look forward to it! Sorry this post is soooo long, but I had to tell the whole story. It is actually somewhat summerized!!hehe I am long winded! :)

Yeah! I can't believe you're having a boy? I didn't want to ruin the story so I didn't skip ahead; so when I finally read that is was a boy I got really excited! I totally thought it was a girl. It is just an amazing thing to be pregnant and I get all emotional just thinking about you having a baby...I can't wait! I didn't think your post was long, but then again I am also long winded. Sorry my comment was so long. =)

So exciting! I don't what I'm gonna do with a little boy when we have one either. I'm so used to little girls, but it will be fun I'm sure. I'm so happy you were able to find out. I'm happy to hear you guys are doing good. Hope everything continues to be so.
