We went to the doctor!


We had our first ultrasound of our little baby yesterday so we could find out what we were having. When I was pregnant with Peyton, Craig and I had both decided together that we weren't going to find out the sex of our baby, that we were going to keep it a surprise. Which was going to be very hard for me because I love to plan everything out. Not knowing if everything needed to be blue or pink was driving me crazy, but I wanted to be surprised with Craig so it wasn't a problem. Well, when we got into the ultrasound room, Craig says "She isn't going to find out what we are having, but I am." What!!! The ultrasound tech, asked me if that was ok. She said that she would leave that up to me, because it was obvious that we hadn't talked about that before getting into that room. I told her that I didn't care, so I turned my head and she printed out a picture for Craig. It wasn't a very good picture, because Peyton was being very shy, so she couldn't really tell for sure. Well with Peyton they could tell at this point that he had kidney and bladder problems so we were scheduled for another ultrasound at 28 weeks, and at that point, I said, "I need to know what I am having!"
Anyways, now with this baby, I told the ultrasound tech, that Craig wasn't allowed to know what we were having, but that I was going to find out. She just laughed. She remembered us from last time. Then I told her that I was just kidding.
Well, I will keep you in suspense a little bit longer! Hah! We found out that this baby's kidneys and bladder are both the correct size and seem to be functioning perfect, so that was a relief! The baby had the hiccups and was moving all over the place it was cute. Peyton loved watching the baby on the screen opening its fist and showing off 5 beautiful fingers. It was really neat. Oh, so Peyton is going to be having a little brother! Craig says he must be a boy maker! I was fine with either a girl or a boy. It didn't matter to me. I say this knowing that hopefully I will be having 2 more children, and I know that I won't be saying that it didn't matter when I am pregnant with baby #4 and still not having a girl! So, with 2 sad grandmas, and one sad Daddy (Craig really wanted a girl) we are having a healthy little boy! I am sure that Peyton is going to love his little brother and I am going to love having another Momma's boy!

You kept me in suspense, Lisa! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. That was a good comeback to tell the technician. It's nice to hear that he is doing well so far. Keep taking good care of that unborn baby, so we can all enjoy him some day.

Congratulations! Think of all the clothes you don't have to buy this time around. (I love that about having two girls.)
