It's a Boy!!!

We had out 3D Ultrasound today with UCBaby. There was plenty of sugar consumed along with a medium Iced Capp. (Sorry Tina, my last milkshake did not sit well) When we got in the first thing she did was find and record the heartbeat for us. Then we looked for the parts so we could determine the sex. She let us guess and I was pretty sure I saw a penis, but didn't want to say it. Ryan said it and he was right. There it was clear as day staring us in the face.

Unfortunately that was all Nudge wanted to show us. He was laying with both hands and both feet over his face. The tech tried to move him several ways. Then she made me get up and walk around. I ate some chocolate and poked around. We tried and second time and it ended up being even worse. Our session was stopped right then and rebooked for April 3rd.

The funny thing is I am totally okay with this. I feel bad that Mom & Dad in Manitoba and Meredith did not get much of a show while streaming online, but I am actually happy. We booked the ultrasound so early because we really wanted to know what the sex was. Booking early always means the pictures are not as good though. So really we get the best of both. We got to find out the sex and now we get to go back (free of charge) in 6 weeks to get a better look. To top it off, it just so happens that in six weeks Ryan's parents are going to be here visiting so they will get to come with us. This makes me really happy.

I was hoping for a girl. I am not sure what the main reason was.
~ I was feeling that a girl would complete our family.
~ I was such a tom boy growing up who hated pink and played in the dirt; maybe I wanted a girl so I could live vicariously through her.
~ Everything I have looked at that was pink was cute, nothing blue appealed to me.
~ I already picked a girl's name and I really loved it.
~ I have done the boy thing and wanted to have a little girl to bond with
~ But I think the main reason is I know how expensive children are to raise and I know that our chances of getting to try again are slim.

So to be truly honest at first I was a little sad. I am over it now though and really looking forward to meeting our little boy. We are going to have too look more seriously at the boys section of the baby name book though because I have no idea what me are going to name this little boy.

I headed out to do some shopping today and found it a little hard. The first 3 stores I went to I found nothing blue that I liked. I knew it would pass so I kept looking. Finally at Walmart I found this jumper that was cute
Then I went to The Gap to cruise the sale racks. I found these adorable pants with bear paw feet. They are 3-6 months so should be wearable Oct-Dec. They were $7 on sale.
I was happy but still not ecstatic yet. Not wanting to give up, I stopped in at Please Mum. They were were havaing a great sale; everything in the store was 50% off the original price. I browsed for a bit and then I found this Hat…..
All of a sudden I was excited for my little boy. It sounds ridiculous and I don’t know if it is pregnancy hormones or I am just crazy, but this little hat completely changed my outlook, my mood, my emotions…. Silly.

Then the shopping bug got me and even though the mall was closing in 10 minutes I decided to head to The Bay before being done for the day. There I found the following diaper shirts. I realize the one on the right will only fit the baby for like 1 week, but at least he will have something that fits him that first week. I remember when Rawley was born he was swimming in all his clothes, nothing fit him at all. Besides the diaper shirt was only $3.99 so I do not feel bad about the purchase at all.
