FINALLY we know!!!

We had our big sonogram appointment on Thursday.

So exciting!!!

We had to drive an hour and ten minutes to get to the hospital, so we decided to make a day out of our trek downtown. We started with a trip to Wendy's, which was so yummy! I know it's weird to say that, but there are only 3 on the whole island and we never get to eat there, so it was a special treat. All I'm going to say is that we ordered 6 burgers, 2 fries, two frosties, and two drinks, and all of it was gone by the time we left..... I won't tell you who ate what.

Then we went to Ross and bought our first baby outfits. Since we didn't know the sex of our baby we picked out one boy and one girl outfit. Then we were off to the DR.










Chris had taken a Benodryl earlier that morning because he's had terrible allergies. So for the entire day he was trying to be a really good sport, but he was a bit of a Zombie because of the medicine. Well as soon as we were in that sonogram room, he was tense as could be. It was crazy cool to see our baby. It looked SO big compared to 12 weeks ago. Our baby is hanging out upside down in my belly, and weighs 11 oz.! Everything was healthy and happy, so we were thrilled.

Then the Dr. moved on to determining the gender. This is when Chris really came to life. He was on the edge of his seat. It was so cute. He's been really good to say that he would be happy either way, but the truth came out in that office. The doctor said, "well, looks like you're having a boy." As soon as she said that Chris jumped out of his chair cheering and got really close to the monitor and said, "Are you sure, how can you tell." The doctor showed us the "boy part," which Chris would later refer to as "the big Manning weiner." We were both thrilled that we are expecting a boy, and that everything is going so well! We're half way there! I can hardly wait to see him.
