Today was such an exciting day that Josh and I have been looking forward to since we found out we were pregnant!! It was our ultrasound/sonogram/ gender reveal day. It's so crazy to think that we have been imagining this sweet baby growing inside of me but not being able to for sure know if it was a girl or boy. All along Josh and I both thought for sure it was a girl, along with many of our family members. The "Chinese Gender Calendar" even told us so, ha! It seems like all of growing up and especially lately I have been surrounded by so many girls so why not add another one?
The ultrasound went well and the tech was able to identify all of the major body parts forming and growing. Although, the baby decided that it didn't want to cooperate and so he/she would squirm all over the place not giving enough time for the tech to get very clear pictures! Looks like we have a mover baby, always on the go....sounds just his/her mother!! Anyways, we asked the tech to keep the gender a secret and write what it was on paper and seal it in an envelope. After the appointment we stopped at Gymboree and picked out 2 outfits, a boy and a girl one. Then, we gave the cashier the outfits and had her open the envelope to see if it was a boy or girl and then place the correct outfit in a box while we looked away. After we swiped the card, we hurried back home as fast as we could so we could find out the gender already. Josh videoed our reaction while I opened the box. As I took off the lid I examined the tissue paper to see if the color showing through it was blue or pink. It looked pink, but once I opened the paper, it was clearly blue which meant we were having a boy!!! We were both so shocked that is wasn't a girl but so happy to be confirmed that indeed it was a boy.
After the gender reveal we skped/called/texted our family and friends to share the news. It was fun to listen to what everyone's guess was and then to show them the outfit we picked out to reveal the answer. I know that our little boy is going to have a tender heart and a love for sports, just like his daddy!
