Oh joy, we have a BOY!!!

Today was AWESOME!! We got to see our little "guy" on the big screen again.  The ultrasound technician accurately took her time showing us each little arm, leg, hand, foot, organ, and butt cheek, as we patiently waited, ooh-ing and ahh-ing, wondering if she was keeping us in ultimate suspense on purpose.  She typed in all sorts of labels as she got the baby to move in different directions, when she finally--after what seemed like forever--typed the word b-o-y.  Then she asked, "Did you see what I just typed?"  Of course we did!  Phil, Kayleigh and I were all so happy as we watched our little son and brother dancin and boppin for us.  What a little ham.  After the ultrasound, I had my regular checkup, and baby's heartbeat was 150.  Active little boy.  Between our ultrasound and seeing the doctor, the doc had to leave to go do a delivery, and as he returned he apologized for his delay.  Uh, that's perfectly okay, doctor, someone obviously really needed you this morning in labor and delivery, to which he replied, "That's gonna be you before you know it."  I am so happy with the care of the doctor and nurse Liz and everyone in the medical center.  We are in really good hands.

When Phil and I took Kayleigh back to school and returned to work, my sweet mother-in-law had gotten the news of the results via Phil and had the office all adorned with baby boy decor.  She even had blue frosted cupcakes waiting.  What a great mother-in-law!  What pregnant lady doesn't like cupcakes?  Thank you, Sue! 

Thank you for all the texts and calls today.  We are so elated with the news and are happy to be adding a little guy to two families with an abundance of girls.  We like to shake things up a bit.  And as the lab lady who took my blood pointed out, "Now you'll have a bodyguard for life."  :) That's so cool.  Now to start thinking of names...
Next appointment: February 28.
