Yesterday we finally got to confirm what only I suspected: we are having another boy! Ultrasound day is so fun and exciting and it is such a miracle and blessing to finally get to see our beautiful little boy...even if it is only in 2D.
We had a bit of excitement early on when during our drive to the hospital (we live over an hour away), our car suddenly started shaking, a light came on that said "stabilitrak turned off" and the engine began losing power. I was about to freak out of course--nothing like this has ever happened-- an naturally, it was on the most anticipated day thus far. We pulled over and called OnStar and luckily all we had to do was turn the car off for 30 seconds then restart the engine. Crisis diverted and we made it just in the knick of time.
It seems like people thought I may be disappointed that we are having another boy. Would I like a girl? Yes, of course I'd love one. But we waited a long time for this baby and healthy is all that matters to me and us. I am so grateful to God for this miracle and happily accept His will. I just want it to be known that there is absolutely no disappointment on our part. In fact, we both agree that another boy right now is better for so many reasons. Luke is going to love having a baby brother and he now gets to grow up with his best friend. We could not ask for more!
The ultrasound tech was pretty awesome although I think she's got a foot festish! She got some great shots of the baby and I just wanted to share them.
Parker and I wanted to buy a cute little tiny baby outfit but everything right now is super-warm and Christmasy so we got this instead. I know--we have no self-control!
