IT'S A BOY !!!!

December 2, 2009 started off normal, you would have never known it was going to be the second most exciting day of my life second, only to my wedding day!! I was excited and nervous.
I had horrible dreams the night before about having girl triplet and they all hated me. I was a bit tired and a little upset because I thought “Man, I really am going to have a girl!”
At 11am I got a phone call that upset me… my doctors office called and said they made a mistake on their schedule and they weren’t able to fit me in today for the ultrasound at 2:30. The only way they could see me today was if I came in right now!
I was so upset!! I cried and cried because I really wanted my mom to be there. I wanted my mom and husband and sisters all there with me. I have had 20 weeks to build this day up in my head and I was devastated when it didn’t turn out the way I thought it should.
I called both Jake and my mom crying because I was so mad and disappointed. Both of them talked me off the ledge and calmed me down. Sometimes that is a pretty hard thing to doJ
Jake, Kendra and I went to the ultrasound and everything happened so quickly!
The ultrasound tech looked at the heart, kidneys, lungs, bladder, brain, spine, and umbilical cord and said that everything was normal. To me that was the sweetest words I could have heard “the baby is normal and right on track”.
Then the moment of truth came …. The moment I have been so excited about!!
We saw his penis and when we did, she said “IT’S A BOY!!”
Love for my husband and love for my son filled me. I looked at Jake and the look on his face was beautiful. He looked like he was ten years old and he just got his first bb gun. It was a look that I can only wait to see again when he gets to hold his son for the first time.
The ultrasound tech said “Wow, this is certainly a boy, no doubting that! He is all boy!”
Jakes face again swelled with pride and happiness. I kept looking at him and crying.
I had a great day even though my mom was not able to be at the appointment but she did come after. We went shopping for baby boy stuff and had a celebration dinner.
It was amazing to go shopping for baby clothes with my mom. I have waited a long time to be able to experience that with her and it was what I always imagined. We looked all over the mall until we found the cutest cowboy stuff at Gymboree!
I kept telling her how happy I was that she was here and my sisters too. I am thankful to Jake for moving me closer to my family because I don’t think I would want to experience this without my mom. My family won’t know what to do with a boy but Jakes’ family is very experienced. I am grateful that his mom will be readily available to answer any questions I have about boys because I am sure I will have a lot!!
I can’t wait for more excitement to come… picking out clothes, furniture, the baby showers and the changes in me that is yet to come. I have a feeling this baby is going to be very spoiled but don’t worry I will keep him in lineJ
I will post his pictures on the blog tonight!!!!
Oh and we are thinking about the name Cole, what do y’all think???
