Baby, baby can you hear my heart beat :)

Monday was a big day for Mike and me. It was one of many OB appointments, but also the day of the baby's anatomy scan, meaning we would find out the sex of the baby. No big surprise, I was a nervous wreckas we waited for what seemed like years in the waiting room. I would pick up a magazine, flip through it, put it down, pick up my phone, check my email, text my mom, put my phone back in my purse...it was a painful hour of me constantly fidgeting. Meanwhile, my handsome husband sat next to me, calmly reading a magazine and thankfully not making any comment about how anxious I was acting.

But its a big deal, right? I have not seen the baby since that very first ultrasound over two months ago, but this child is very much apart of me. Of course I was anxious to see how things were progressing! 

So finally my name was called, and I walked back on shaky legs to the ultrasound room, with Mike in tow. I sat down on the table, and he sat in the chair next to me. We talked to the ultrasound tech for a little bit before she broke out the gel and turned out the lights. I held my breath until we could hear the heartbeat and then I instantly relaxed and watched the show. We saw every bit of the baby, even though we weren't really sure what it is we were looking at! The ultrasound tech took a ton of measurements, and then said, "So if I can find out what the sex is, do you want to know?"

"YES!" I said, though I thought I already knew. I was 100% sure that the tech would tell me that we were having a baby girl.

So you can imagine my surprise when she said, "You're having a boy!"

I turned my head and caught the look on Mike's face - complete shock and then joy. That is how I felt too. Even though we were expecting her to say a girl because I was SO sure - I was just as thrilled to hear that the baby is a boy. 

It was fascinating watching her zoom in on the heart and seeing his ventricles pumping away. Life is truly a miracle. Mike and I were completely and totally amazed by the entire experience.

We are so looking forward to meeting sweet Baby Boy - even though the poor little guy does not have an official name yet...hopefully before December 5th, he will!

Here he is - the tech got a picture of him mid-movement! His feet are kicking. :) He is the most adorable thing ever, 

For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful.
