Well Tuesday was the day I got to see you again!! Aunt Ron Ron came to the appointment since your dad had to work. It was so cool to see how big you have gotten. You actually look like a real baby now instead of just a smudge on the screen. The ultrasound technician measured lots of little things on the screen and showed us where your legs and arms were. You were kicking your legs a little bit and moving your arms some. She tried to hold the picture still so that we could see you jump around in there, but apparently you weren't in a jumpy mood. You would wiggle a little bit, but not much. It doesn't matter though, maybe that means you are going to be a calm and peaceful person :-).
The doctor was actually measuring for things in particular and they had to do another smallish type blood test on me. She said I should know the results of those things by the end of this week, but I haven't gotten a call yet, so maybe next week.
I'm so excited to know if you are a boy or a girl. After that appointment I got so impatient, but luckily that appointment doesn't really seem too far away. October 8th is the day, and I am soo excited. I have to tell you, Mommy doesn't care either way what you are. I have never really hoped for a boy over a girl, or a girl over a boy, all I want is a baby and here you are, so whatever they tell me you are, I am going to be so excited about. However, I should tell you that most of your grandmas, and aunts want a little girl. Just because our family has a lot of boys already. And Dad, of course, wants a boy (but that is what most men want so that is no shock there). I do have some reasons for wanting a girl or a boy, but nothing that really sways my mind more than anything else. Here are some of them..
Reasons for a Girl
- I already picked out two names that I LOVE and I'm totally set on.
- Dad has no sisters and never had a girl baby around, I would DIE to see his reaction.
- I would get to shop for pink things (my favorite color).
- I would get to dress you up like I got to dress up my American Girl dolls.
- I'm not completely set on the boys names yet (although we have two that are awesome, but I'm just not convinced).
Reasons for a Boy
- Dad wants a boy and contrary to popular belief, what makes him happy, makes me happy.
- To prove Grandma McCrazy wrong (she thinks she knows what you are already).
- Baseball themed nursery. They have so many cool ideas on Pinterest!
Other than those reasons, I have no others. I just cannot wait to meet you! I was telling Aunt Ron Ron that I could kick myself for telling everyone the name choices we had for you. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn't tell anyone until after we had named you because I didn't want to hear anyone's opinions, but stupid Mom spilled the beans and of course, I got everyone's opinion under the sun. But, I'm not going to change my mind. I love those names, and so does Dad. Oh, before I forget your heartbeat was 155 at the appointment. Tech said it was a strong heartbeat, but it definitely dropped some since your last appointment. I'm going to upload your current "close-up". I have another appointment next Friday, but Aunt Ron Ron says that it will be boring, just weight of Mom, and listen to your heartbeat. I don't think your heartbeat is boring...I could listen to it all day!
I love you little peanut!!
Love,
Mommy
