The day was finally here... to find out the gender of baby #2. I could hardly sleep the night before- every other dream was boy and then girl. I woke up singing... "what day is today... today is gender day ". I was so happy and nervous. We had a late appt. so the day was long. On the drive there we talked about having a boy... and then how fun it would be to have a girl.
I could barely sit still in the chair while waiting. It was bad... I was so nervous for some reason- I leaned over to tanner and said, "I feel like I'm about to sing in front of 1000 people." If you know me, you know sometimes I tend to get really excited about things. She started the ultrasound, and we couldn't tell the foot from the head... then all of a sudden she stopped and took a picture of what was on the screen. I immediately thought she saw something and I blurted out... "It's a boy..." and she said, "Nope, It's a girl!" She explained how we could tell and then from then on she kept saying... "her foot, or that is her arm... " It was music to my ears, I cried right then. I couldn't hold back my excitement. I tried not to expect one specific thing, unlike the first time around. Tanner was very excited also... he has said many times he'd love to have a little girl around the house... so it was good news for both of us. Maddex has said from the very day we told him we were pregnant, "I'm a have a baby sister." If anyone would even ask him about being a big brother- he would for sure tell them, it was a baby girl and he was gonna have a sister. Everyone thinks I've brainwashed him but I really didn't- I strongly believe he knew something we didn't.
After the ultrasound- it was back to the waiting room... to wait for my appt. with the Dr. I was told I had some time to wait so I hurried outside to call my family. Shauna, Mom, Grandma, Dad, and Mustin were the first to know... (we wanted to tell Brad and Kathy in person so they had to wait until around 6:30 to find out... not nice huh?). When I got out of my appt. after 6 we went straight to their house. Actually we had to make a quick stop so I could buy a pink dress that I fell in love with earlier in the week. :)
We dressed up a baby that Maddex had in pink clothing, wrapped it in a blanket and placed it in the middle of the room. When they opened it- I don't know if anyone was expecting a girl- but they sure were surprised. It was so fun- we just kind of sat around talking about it. Kathy never had any daughters- and then I had Maddex- so we've never got to shop for a little girl together... watch out stores!
We then told everyone else... mostly by text b/c we wanted to celebrate with each other. We went out to eat and then got yogurt.
THANKS everyone for the Congrats.. We love you all so much!
i had to add this picture- just so you could see M's funny face...
is it really his intention to ruin almost every picture we take?
