Change in Plans

I apparently lied when I said we were going to have the ultrasound on July 1. Something came up with my husband's work that same morning and he asked if I could switch the appointment to the afternoon. So... I called and it turns out the office only does them on Thursday mornings. Problem. I was already delaying it until 22 weeks because of some other work obligations and of course, we both wanted him to be there. I told the lady that was scheduling the whole affair that I didn't want to delay any longer. To which she answered that I shouldn't delay any longer because if the baby gets to big they have a hard time seeing anything. Great. So I asked her what I should do. She was fairly unhelpful, saying she thought I should just go to the appointment we had already set. I had a whole 2 week block (between 19 & 20 weeks) when he physically couldn't make it. The catch was they (at the office) wouldn't let me go before 20 weeks. What?? We found out with M at 17 weeks.

So, I asked her if I could just do it at the hospital. After a few minutes on hold she said that was fine and gave me the number.

I called to schedule and the lady said to come between 19 and 20 weeks and I told her my dilemma about that and why I was scheduling at the hospital. So she said, why not do it this week? OKAY! I was bouncing up and down (almost literally). So... We scheduled it for yesterday and my husband got off a little early.

Long story short, the baby is healthy and it is..... a BOY! I have to admit I was a little shocked (but shouldn't have been). I thought the whole time it was a girl... then again we thought M was a boy. My hubby said he was literally 50/50 on this and had no clue. We're both really excited and I'm glad to finally be planning things.

Unfortunately I can't get the CD with the pictures to load on my crap-top, so y'all will have to deal without the semi-grainy, black and white pictures of the boy. For now, anyway...
