It's a.......

BOY!

This has been one of the best days of my life. I went to bed pretty early last night in hopes that morning would be there before I knew it. Of course, I woke up every hour to look at the clock. I ended up waking up at 4. I cooked breakfast, cleaned my house, watched a few Baby Storys on TLC and then started to get ready for the big day. I even texted my Mom at 5 this morning. I was too excited. Blake took off work for the entire day so I woke him up at 8 singing :) He is not a morning person AT ALL but he, surprisingly, didn't growl at me. He was excited too :)

We left the house a little early. Blake had to get fitted for a tux. He is in a wedding in June so we knocked that out of the way. We ate lunch. Well, Blake ate lunch. I was so nervous I could hardly even look at my food. I am not real sure what I was so nervous about but my stomach was in knots. Finally....the time had come.

My mom and Blake's mom met us at the hospital. My appointment was at 1 but we waited for 15-20 minutes before we got in. At this time, all of our phones were blowing up with "What is it?" "Is it a girl?" "It's a girl, right?!". (There were lots and lots of girl predictions) Finally, my name was called and we were ready for our life changing moment to begin. We waited in the room for 5-10 minutes. Blake began to play the penny toss game. Heads-boy. Tails-girl. He was anxious :) My favorite nurse was our little helper today. She performed the sonogram and asked us all before she started what we thought it was. Of course, Blake said BOY. I didn't want to say. I actually have not even told many people what I thought it was this entire time because I was going to be happy either way and I didn't want to be wrong. The nurse told me she needed one very last guess and I blurted out BOY. I mean I have been having dreams about a sweet baby boy almost every night for several weeks so....

The fun began.

It was instantaneous. She said, "Okay, do you guys want to know what this baby is?!" Blake yelled out, " It's a boy." I couldn't tell because I was laughing so hard at Blake. Nurse yells, "It IS a boy!!." Music to my ears. I was so excited. I can't even begin to express to you how excited I was in that moment. A beautiful boy. A very beautiful, active, baby boy. He was putting on a show for us. He waved. He bounced. He kicked. I loved seeing his little fingers move around. It was so amazing. Nurse said everything looks perfect. He is perfect. No more he/she.
