Three weeks ago today we got to meet our baby via ultrasound for the very first time! Ev and I were giddy with excitement the night prior to our appointment. It was hard to relax enough to sleep, but I knew I had to get a few zzzzz's in before our 8:45am appointment.
That morning, while getting ready for the appointment, Ev followed me around like a waterboy making sure I drank all of the required 32oz of water an hour prior to the test. By the way it is no fun being 20 weeks pregnant with an enormously full bladder and then on top of that told you can't pee!!! The drive to the doctors office was interesting as well! We had recently purchased Ev's new truck the day before, so of course the "new" car was our vehicle of choice for the day. Also, our lil one decided that my full bladder was their new bouncy house. I was happy to feel our lil one move around, but the added pressure was much less amusing.
Once in the ultrasound room we anxiously awaited to meet our lil boy or girl. Unfortunately, our baby was being such a flutterbug we weren't sure we were even going to find out! Even the ultrasound tech was having trouble just getting our peanut to stay in one spot long enough to capture an image for measurements! Finally after what seemed like forever our lil one settled down. The tech confirmed that we wanted to know and told us we were having...... a baby girl!!! I looked over at Ev with tears in my eyes to see him grinning from ear to ear back at me!
For the rest of the day we couldn't stop smiling. We are both over the moon to be having this baby and thrilled to have a lil girl soon. We now know that all the results from the ultrasound came back perfect and we are still on schedule for a March 10th due date!
