well if you haven't figured it out by now, we're having a girl. we are still in complete & total shock! i would have bet money that this baby was a boy, never in my wildest dreams would i thought i was having a girl. especially since there are no girls in matt's family and anyone i know who has 2 boys almost always gets a third. not that i would have had a problem with a third boy because i thought all along it was. i know how good my boys get along now and to have added a third they would have had such a strong bond. but for some reason my prayers were answered this time and we got a girl which even more makes me believe that aunt nanny has so much to do with this pregnancy! so the adventure of our day and breaking the news to our families...
matt & i left the house at 8:30 wednesday morning, the boys stayed at home with nana while we went for our scan. of course the place had moved across the street into a new building since we went over 2 years ago and we got lost. finally after going in 2 wrong buildings we found it. i filled out the paper and then it was time. i was literally so nervous that morning i threw up!! which is why we didn't tell anyone other than our parents we were going. i didn't need any added pressure. i laid on the cooshie couch and matt said in the chair beside me. this is a really nice place (mysunshinebaby.com check her out!) she turned the tv on on the opposite side of the room and i didn't look. i was almost too afraid to even look. with the boys the second my belly was touched with the probe bam! there was butt in your face. i was sitting positioned somewhat behind the woman and could only see half of the screen but when i saw baby face and not butt i slowly leaned out to look. well it had been almost 5 minutes and we still hadn't seen anything yet. baby was laying in a weird position and legged were crossed. she was moving a little but those legs were crossed and she was NOT going to uncross them. if she did she was covering with her hands. matt and i both look like bobble head dolls trying to scour the screen for any clues or butt shots. we still hadn't saw anything good enough yet and she knew we were looking. she said well i'm pretty sure i already know what it is. keep in mind this is all this woman does every single day mon-sat and has been doing it for over 15 years probably. i sort of looked at her funny and she said "i'm about 98% it's a girl" i gasped so hard and told her "don't you DARE say that unless you are absolutely sure!!!" and then she moved and there were legs open and she had to back track the images bc she moved so fast trying to recross her legs or cover with her hands. there it was clear as ever. no weenie. i just started crying my eyes out right there on the table. all i could think about was aunt nanny did this, she sent her to us. then my next thought that i actually said out loud "your sister is going to hate me" (she has 3 boys)
we continued our scan and got several more good shots to prove she is indeed a girl. after we left Lana knew about what time we should be out and she was playing golf. so i called but she didn't answer so i left her the calmest message saying we were through and to call me back. it wasn't 5 minutes and she called. "WHAT IS IT?!" i asked her if she was sitting down, still very calm, WHAT IS IT?! i said well i think you just need to sit down, she's practically screaming "i can't i'm walking the golf course, WHAT IS IT!!!!" i said it's a girl. she just started hollering. it was hilarious then she started crying she was so happy. later that afternoon when i talked to her she said i ruined her golf game after that. she was shaking so bad she double bogey'ed the next 2 holes haha. then we called matt's dad. he knew where we were as well. matt asked him if he got the new job with nabisco yet and he said he was pretty sure he did why? i piped up that he owed me a Coach purse. he got so excited too yelling "it's a girl?! omg it's a girl!!" the deal about the Coach was... i told matt if it was a boy he owed me a coach finally so i could have something girly to make up for it. pawpaw heard this and said if it was a girl *HE* would buy me one. either way i got a good deal haha. we're making our way down 85 headed straight for food & babiesRus. after we ate we walked into the girls clothes and stopped 3 feet in and just looked at each other like what the heck do we do? we've never even stepped foot into the girl clothes. never had a reason to. and then it began :) we were sifting through the clothes, matt picking things up looking at them saying he liked this or didn't like this color. it was so cute. she's already got daddy wrapped around her finger and she's not even here yet! $90 later she has her first dress and pair of shoes and several other outfits plus a pink pacie hehe. his mom calls asking if we were on our way home yet and you could tell in her voice she was thinking "i know you know so why aren't you telling me" haha it was so much fun!! on the ride home the more i thought about it the more i just started to cry. i said i felt like i needed to go visit aunt nanny and tell her. when we walked in the door matt hid the bag of clothes so kaye couldn't see the pink through the bag and i had put the shoes in my purse. she asked if we found out. we said well yeah, we saw it. "well...." i asked her what she wanted. she said well i want it to be healthy. i said i knew that but what else, any preference? and she just sat there and i pulled those little silver glitter shoes from my purse and i thought she was going to jump out of her skin yelling "OMG IT'S A GIRL!!!!??? is it really?!!!" then we showed her the pictures and dvd.
yes we said we were going to keep the gender a secret until the birth and that was the plan but somehow someone outside of the people we shared with found out and had already started sharing this info themselves, when it wasn't their information to share. we had told a few friends but they were VERY trust worthy so we know it was not them but i think i have a pretty good idea of who... so that is the ONLY reason we decided to share because we didn't want someone else to announce what should be our joy and news because that is just so completely rude to do especially when it's not even their baby and they aren't even friends of ours. that's just like someone going on your page and posting a birth announcement with the name and stats of your baby. that is so wrong so that's why we went ahead and shared. this is a moment we have both dreamed about for a long time and we were not about to have anyone rip that away from us. this person has even tried to doubt the scan and saying that gender is very iffy to be determined before 20 weeks. BULL!!! both of my boys were scanned at 18 weeks and a few days and very clear what they were. even the tech said at 14 & 15 weeks most boys were very easy to tell. sad that no one would question had we announced another boy yet there's question about a girl. why? because we already have boys? well those people will be made to look like a fool when she is born and again when i have my diagnostic scan next month. many have also asked if we will share her name. now that we absolutely will not!! that we can keep a secret. we always have and we've been forced to share everything else before we were ready and there's too many pregnant right now with girls and i refuse to give up this name!!! we've had it picked for over a year and i'm not going to loose it because some jerk decided to steal it. so that you will just have to wait until she's here to find out :)
