it’s a . . .

This past Monday I had my appointment for the first trimester screening. The tech was absolutely amazing and since I headed to the hospital for the screening very skeptical based on the last time I was there when we welcomed Payton into this world it was so great having a warm heart. It was nice to see that they are re-doing the OBGYN medical offices at the hospital, the improvements were so much better and the L&D ward is also being reconstructed which gives me hope that this time around it will be much better! Plus, I already know what to expect! Anyway, the appointment was very routine to check on the neck fold, fluids, etc. It’s always nice to get to peek at your ‘lil bean as it growing to make sure everything is going to plan, which ours is. I felt much better hearing this because like I mentioned in the first post, this time around I just don’t feel pregnant. No nausea, pain, etc. I ain’t complaining though! While scoping out the baby the tech asked me if she could see what the baby was if I wanted to know, I totally exclaimed yes, but then had a moment telling me that I should wait since I was all alone, but heck!  All who know me know I am one impatient woman, so of course I said YES! She began asking me what I thought it was and I told her I was 100% convinced it was a boy and she simply said, “well, you were right!” I was very emotional, it was different than with Payton, plus being alone all I could do was  lay there with gel on my tummy staring at my son. . . my son! We are very blessed to get one of each, it is going to be an exciting ride and I truly now feel as though my family is complete. It is going by faster this time too, especially since I am running after Payton everyday! The tech also said she had me measuring at 13.5 weeks which is where I thought I was, so I am changing my EDD to what I (and the tech) said as November 6th. I just have my eye on November 1st as the due date so the closer I can get the better!
