Eddie and I had our second appointment with Dr. Koster yesterday. All weekend, we were more excited than ever about the appointment, because it was the day we were going to find out Boy OR Girl?!?!
Eddie picked me up, as usual, looking quite handsome, I might add...he worked yesterday and just took part of the day off, so he was all dressed up in his work uniform...he looked hot!! Despite our usual routine, it was a little early for lunch, so we just decided to head straight to the doctors office and have lunch later. On the drive there, so many thoughts ran through my head: "Baby Webb, are you a boy or girl? Will you cooperate during the sonogram?" And then I started to imagine our life with a boy and our life with a girl: what will we name him/her, what will he/she be like, will he/she take after one or both of us, what kind of activities will he/she participate in (when he/she gets older), etc? As we approached the doctors office, I gently rubbed my belly and said “Baby Webb, please cooperate today. We want to know if we should plan for a boy or a girl.” Eddie laughed.
We walked in to Dr. Koster's office and I signed us in. I think we were both excited but a little nervous, as we looked at one another and just smiled...I think we both knew what the other was thinking.
We didn't have to wait long. We were called back within minutes and found ourselves in one of the examination rooms. Shortly after, Dr. Koster walked in and invited me up to the examination area. As she started the sonogram, I immediately saw Baby Webb practically doing a head stand. I giggled and was like, “what is he/she doing?” It looked so uncomfortable, but yet cute and playful like. Dr. Koster assured me that the baby was fine, for that is the position the baby will be in before delivery...I guess I hadn't thought about that. Baby Webb was just kicking away...I can't believe I don't feel that. The legs had grown quite a bit since the last sonogram, too...I wondered where those came from...Eddie and I are both so short. Baby Webb had decided to give us another side view...Dr. Koster did her best, going back and forth and up and down with the sonogram monitor-thingy, but it was all sides and no frontal. Dr. Koster spent a lot of time just trying to get a good angle. Finally, she got a shot, not of the front, but a shot, and said “You have a little girl!!” I looked at Eddie, somewhat expecting a look of disappointment...he had told me previously that he would be happy either way and all that matter was that our baby was healthy...but I know every man wants his little boy...he just smiled. I squeezed his hand, gave him a grin, and then turned back to the monitor. It's amazing how fast they grow!!
We have another sonogram scheduled with Dr. Denning in a week and ½. Since we couldn't get a great shot of the front, I'm going to use it as a confirmation sonogram...just to be sure. But for now, we're planning on a girl.
As we left the doctors office, I asked Eddie if he was disappointed and he assured me he was excited...adding in that we would just have to keep trying til we got a little boy...and then he cracked a smile.
I couldn't wait to share the news...but I decided I'd rather do it in person...so I waited until after work. Tiffany asked all day, but I told her she would have to wait...I think she got a little antsy. I went up to Michaels at the end of the day and purchased a box of their pink bubblegum cigars to announce the news. Tiffany met me up there and was so excited when she saw the pink. Everyone was excited. When I went by Brynn's, we told her son Cayden that he already has a girlfriend...he just gave us the “what are you talking about” glare (he's 2 ½...don't think he's quite ready for a girlfriend, yet).
Now, I can't wait to pick out the nursery theme and the colors and baby girl outfits. It's so exciting!! I still can't believe we're having a girl!!
