IT'S A...


For those of you that don't know, on Monday, March 2nd Derek and I arrived at the doctors office for our 20-week ultrasound appointment. We both had really been looking forward to this appointment for several weeks since we were about to find out our baby's gender. Well, nature had a different plan, because when we checked in at the desk I was informed that the ultrasound tech hadn't made it into the office because of the 2 inches of snow we received the day before. What a disapointment! I thought I was going to CRY! But we met with the doctor as planned and afterward the girl at the front desk said she could fit us in for an ultrasound at 3:30 that afternoon...at the Johns Creek office almost 40 minutes away. We both had our hearts set on finding out that day so we took the appointment.

So after a crazy afternoon full of doctors offices, disapointment and driving we finally saw our baby kicking and squirming on the ultrasound screen. We asked the ultrasound tech not to tell us the gender though, but to write it down on a card for us to open later. We arrived at dinner with our card in hand, ordered a few cocktails (or mocktails in my case) and I handed the card to Derek for him to open. Boy were we surprised to see that it read "It's a GIRL!" So now our dear Derek is surrounded by females: Alex, Kitty, Sadie and now baby!

Oh my goodness! It looks like a real little person in that ultrasound photo. It's kind of unbelievable that a little baby is inside of you.
