And It's A............................

So we were anxiously awaiting for March 2nd. Why?!?!  Not because it was the opening day of The Lorax.....not because it was a 1/2 day of school for the boys....BUT.....because we were finally going to be able to find out what this baby is that has taken over my body!! The boys wanted a sister. Even Wrangler said he wanted a Baby Sister. Hunter told me that he even Prayed to God that he would have a baby Sister. Trapper told eveyone at school that he wanted a Sister.  I wouldn't of minded either way if it was a boy or girl as long as "the baby" was healthy!! Now....my husband on the other hand, he is (was :) ) 

Anti-girl, and the thought of having a daughter made his hair start turning grey!!  (True Story!) 

So the time came, we picked the boys up from school, and while there, the office staff all congratulated me and told me that Trapper was soo excited and he told them all that "We are going to find out what my baby is going to be, I hope it's a Sister!!" Boy, did I EVER feel the pressure then!!!!! 

We got to the appointment and we were all able to go into the room. This is where it gets interesting!! 

Hello Mommy and Daddy

As soon as the "baby" popped up on the screen, I started to Cry. Hunter was like "Why are you crying???", I told him I was excited!!  Trapper couldn't figure out what he was supposed to be looking at on the screen, other than he was seeing bones....ribs....spine.....he thought it was a little freaky. Wrangler was standing beside me holding my hand and saying "you ok mommy? you ok?".....so it was a little emotional. Dad was just standing eagerly waiting for the "BOY PARTS" to appear on the screen!!! 

Trapper was a little freaked out here.......

The Tech makes her way down to the "potty shot", and the legs are Crossed. There is no way she is going to see what that baby is. So, she continues to take measurements. The longer we were in there, the more anxious everyone was getting. My good friend Bekah came with her daughter Jersey to check out the sonogram as well. When they came in, the first thing Jersey says is "Nelly, we got your cookies!!!". It was priceless!!  The boys were getting ansy, so Bekah took all of them out of the room, so it's just me and Dad. 

Peek-A-Boo Already!!!

I was asking all kinds of questions about the heart, the brain, the feet, lips, faces, kidneys, placenta......Bekah says I need to stay off of WEB MD!!!!!  It all looked good. We couldn't be happier, although, we really would like to have seen what we were having. So, she tries one more time to get the "potty shot", and sees that the baby has turned....only to be Sitting INDIAN STYLE!!!!!  What!?!?!  Are you kidding me?!?!!?  So after some jiggling on my belly, she gets the baby to move just enough to see that 

It's A BaBy GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said "Nu-uh, Really!?!!?" And she said yes, went back over it and said Yep, it's a girl!!!!  So, THEN the waterworks came!!  I was crying again!!!  I was soo happy. In my excitement, I looked over and Dad, who had stood by my side the entire time, had sat down in the chair. He slowing took his hat off, and started rubbing his head and just sat there like "Oh NO, what in the HECK am I going to do with a girl?" It was a Kodak moment!!!! 

When we were all finished, we went out to the waiting area and the boys were asking all kinds of questions. So when I told them it was a Baby Girl, they were jumping up and down and hootin' and hollerin'!!!  They were sooo excited!!!  

Spoiled (already) Baby Girl

It was a great day for our family. Since then, the news has sunk in a little better to dad. I think he is going to be ok. We went shopping on Sunday, and I held up a little baby girl Skirt, and he just looked at it and walked off. I think if he has his way, she will be dressed in sweatpants and look like a rag doll all the time!!!! 

Now, the next 19 weeks just need to FLY by, because we are all sooo ready to meet her!!!! 

I hope the video plays for all of you!!!

Thank you for sharing in this special moment with us! We are extremely happy and Blessed to be welcoming such a beautiful baby to our family!!
