So, here's the story... I had my monthly doctor's appointment yesterday; it was the doc's last appointment of the day. He was wrapping up with me, and I said, "So I really have to wait one more month to find out the sex? Come on. It's late in the day. You're not busy. Let's just pop in the ultrasound room and take a quick peek." Of course I was totally kidding.
"Okay," he said to my complete surprise, "why not?" I was not expecting this, of course. I was not prepared. Shawn wasn't with me at this appointment because he was planning to come to the next one when we found out the sex. I didn't want to leave him out. I told the ultrasound tech that I didn't want to know because I wanted my husband to be a part of the excitement.
She rubbed that gel all around my belly and decided that was she saw was quite clear. Just to be sure, though, she went to get a second opinion from one of the midwives who ultimately confirmed what she saw. They put the results in an envelope that taunted me for about 3 hours until Shawn got home from work!
Shawn opened the envelope first, straight-faced, looked at the ultrasound with the typed letters B-O-Y. I grabbed the envelope and screamed. I saw those letters, too. We were screaming and crying with excitement.
Phoebe was involved too, but she had a MUCH different reaction.
We are so excited... even Phoebe. She just doesn't know it yet!
