It's a boy! Or is it?.....

I had my 18 week appt. on Friday, which I have been looking forward to all month. At first I thought I would be fine with waiting an extra cpl weeks to find out the sex, but by last week I was soooo ready to know. My mother-in-law was able to go with me because she was in town for education week, it was really nice and fun to have her there with me. The appt did not really go as planned though, it was much more stressfull than I thought it would be.
-Within the first minute or so of looking at the baby the Doctor said, it's a girl. I was happy but kind of in shock, even though I had kind of thought/hoped it was a girl. But then it got confusing...o wait, well, hold on. This went on for a bit, then, I think it's a boy.....I am thinking..okay...not sure anymore. After a few more minutes he had almost given up it seemed becasue that baby just did NOT want to open it's legs, at all. It was really frustrating becasue we were having a little gender party later on that evening..so it was important to know. Plus I was tired of not knowing. Finally the baby moved ite legs a bit and he got a better view. Pretty sure it's a boy, -okay how sure? 75-80% sure. Hmmm...guess i'll take it! Anyway so it appears that it is a boy! It is so crazy, I never expected it, but at the same time I was excited. I admit most of my excitement came from me being so happy to tell Scott. I knew he would be sooo surprised, everyone kind of was.
I made a cake and put blue frosting in the middle, then had Scott pull out a piece. He jumped around a bit and was just so surprised, because he was convinced that it was a girl.
Now we know...pretty much for sure that it is a boy, so I am kind of adjusting to that. Now instead of looking at bows and dresses I am looking at baby boy things. Either way I am happy it is a healthy baby, but I am looking forward to our next appt, it is the big appt. where they do the ultrasound and all the measurments. Up until this point mostly all I have done at my appts. is get a look at the baby and maybe talk a little about how I am feeling. So it'll be good to have a more in depth appt.
So as of right now, it's a BOY :)
