19 weeks 1 day
First off, let me say it is not my fault that I havent updated yet. My computer is not working at all or let me say, my internet isnt working lol. I am over at my friends house so I am finally able to update.
Ok, so moving on...
The day of the ultrasound comes!!! I am nervously excited as I bustle around the house getting ready to head out. My friend comes and gets me and we head up to the hospital. We were going to meet Daniel there, since he couldnt take off work that day. My friend and I talk excitedly about the possibility of having a girl and about all the cute girlie things we could dress her up in. We make our way up to the hospital and meet Daniel. We were running a tad bit late so we hurridly rushed up to the floor where my doctor's office was. I walked in and signed in. I greeted the lady behind the desk and told her I had an ultrasound. "You know Dr. B isnt here today, right?", she asked. I told her yes I did, but that I didnt necessarily need to see her today because I have an appointmemt already set up with her. Well, apparently, there is this a problem with that. I waited about 45 minutes and finally the ultrasound tech called me back. I had previously said to Daniel that I hoped she wasnt working today because she is always so rude. Well, no such luck lol. The first thing she says to me when we got into the room was, "You know that we shoulnt be seeing you today right? Since your doctor isnt here, I really shouldnt even be doing this for you today because we arent allowed to discuss results with you. Thats your doctors job. I dont know who went ahead and scheduled you, but, you really shouldnt be here. But since you are here, we will just go ahead and do it." Im like, first of all...is all of that necessary???????? I didnt, say all that I wanted to say to her, because I refused to let her ruin my day! I just said, "Well, I have an appointment with her July 6th, so we can just discuss results then"
Anywaaaaaays, she proceeds with the ultrasound. When I see my baby for the first time, I immeditately smiled, and because I knew without her even telling me that the baby was measuring perfect this time. With Jarretts ultrasounds, you could tell that his chest was extremely small, along with his legs and arms being short. This time, I could see that this baby had long arms and legs and the chest was the correctly sized. She asked us if we wanted to know the gender. Of course, we immediatly replied, "Yes!!' she scrolled to the southern region of our little miracle baby and I saw that it was...
A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I admit that I was pretty disappointed for a few hours after the ultrasound. I actually cried. Because, I thought that surely I cant be having another boy! I cant handle it emotionally! My mind was flooded with question after question. What am I going to name him? How am I going to deal with using the stuff meant for Jarrett for him? What if I dont love him as much as Jarrett? OH NO, this means I have to get pregnant AGAIN to have my little girl! But, after a while I began to focus on the words of the the tech: "He is measuring great and look perfect!" For someone who kept hearing dreadful words during all but one of my ultrasounds with Jarrett, hearing these words brought on a new feeling. I felt immense relief at the thought that I am carrying a baby that doesnt have problems! It was such a wonderful feeling to hear good news! I told a few people that I was disappointed about not having a girl, and they encouraged me. I am having a healthy baby boy! We also dont have to really worry about anything because we have everything we need! Jarrett was a little angel who prepared us for everything that we would need for his brother! I am very happy! Now...unto the names...:) :) :0!!!!!!!!
