You see, I had been told 2 months ago that he was 90% certain I was having a boy. And to be honest, I have felt this ENTIRE TIME that I am having a boy. Everything feels exactly the same as it did with Lincoln and the horror stories you hear from those who have girls (acne, skin color changes, widen hips, etc) were not happening. Plus, I never had morning sickness which they say you are MORE prone to if you have a girl. So I was (and still kinda am) fully convinced it was a boy. When the doctor said he agreed, I was over the moon! Fast forward 4 weeks and I am told with 97% certainty its a girl! WHAT!? You mean his peecee (as Lincoln calls it) fell off? Where did it go? Then he said "although the image isnt great I have a pretty good batting average". UHHH, OKAY?!?!? I was so confused and my hormones were spinning out of control! I was alone and I was a MESS!
Now let me clear something up. I have been getting some backlash because I cried over the thought of a girl. It has NOTHING to do with not loving the child. It has EVERYTHING to do with hormones, being told one day you are having a boy so you get all your boy stuff out, decorate the nursery, you know, the whole enchilada. Only to be told 4 weeks later that its a girl...BOTH times with almost 100% certainty. Tell me what pregnant lady is NOT going to cry with that news?!? Obviously we are going to love her a million times over, spoil her, and I already know she will wrap daddy around her little finger just like Lincoln does. We are forever thankful that so far we have a healthy child growing inside me, that both of us dont have any MAJOR medical issues (again so far) and that is the most important thing.
Okay rant over, back to today. I told the ultrasound tech she had ONE JOB today and that was to find out the sex of the baby. She was shocked, as were most people, the doctor would say one thing, then change it, then go ahead and say that the picture still wasn't clear. Well, within the first 2 minutes of putting the gel and the wand on my stomach, we had a clear image. I am telling ya folks, while there is a small bulge there (apparently her lady parts are still forming and will become normal size in the upcoming weeks) it was NOTHING like Lincoln's ultrasound. I knew it the moment she put it on the screen...even though I said "so its a boy right?!" And you know what, I am becoming okay with it. Now that I know the sex of the baby, I feel like a weight is off my shoulders. I dont know how people go all 9 months not knowing. Although it would probably be easier than being told you are having a child of BOTH sexes haha.
After the appointment Lincoln and I did some retail shopping. He was confused why were were getting girl things...because you know, 2 months ago, we told him he was having a little brother named Wyatt...and NOW we are saying he is having a little sister named Brynlee...yeah he is confused and he yells at us when we "get it wrong" poor kiddo...just as confused as we were!!!
