It's a BOY!!!
On Monday, August 24th, we had our 20 week ultrasound. I have to say, despite it lasting over an hour, most of the time is a blur. Partly because the US technician was busy taking measurements so she really didn't say much, but also because once I heard, "I wonder what that is?" (Her being subtle about the fact that she saw the penis), all that kept going through my mind was, "A Boy? What am I going to do with a boy?" It still hasn't fully set in yet I don't think. Prior to the US, I was thinking it was going to be a boy but hoping for a girl. Every girl wants a girl, right? I guess it wasn't until after hearing it was a boy though that I realized just how much I was looking forward to having a girl.... Needless to say, I came home after finishing work, and the first thing I did was start looking for boy clothes on line. (And cleaning out the baby closet of all the girl clothes in it) I have to state my ongoing disappointment with my health insurance. I was hoping to come home with several US pictures - feet, hands, etc. Apparently, all I get is a profile picture. (The technician said that's all they give, despite taking 90+ images) And, no 4D images at all. So, I think I may look into those US places that you can go to and pay for out of pocket. I just would love to see more of the baby, and also have more pictures! Below is the Little Guy. On most measurements he was measuring farther along than what I am. And the biggest measurement?? THE HEAD - measuring in at 20w6d. He really must be taking after his father already. (And I mean in the cocky sense, not figuratively) I will let Nate speak for himself about his reaction to finding out he'll have a boy, but my very first thought was (as I looked over to Nate, dressed in shorts and a polo because he was golfing afterward) this little boy dressed in a polo with a golf club in hand. Wonder where he'll get it from.... :)

Hi Karyn! Congratulations on your pregnancy and the impending arrival of your little guy! That is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI'm writing to tell you that I had a little boy a year ago and felt kind of the same way. I always thought that I would have a girl -- and have the same kind of relationship with her as I have with my mom. And then Sam came -- a boy! (We didn't find out what we were going to have.) Any feelings of hope for a girl melted away when I saw this perfect, wonderful little creature that Rob and I had created. Now he's one year old and loves his mommy. :) He gives kisses and hugs and craves random snuggles. We play and run and explore and it's awesome. Little boys are incredible and I can't wait to see how our relationship will grow through the years.
So, good luck with everything during the rest of your pregnancy, have fun with the delivery (yes, there are fun parts!), and enjoy every second with your beautiful, amazing baby boy!
Love,
Kristin Hoffman-Peavler
