The ultrasound

September 20, 2013.
I was having such a hard time sleeping the night before my ultrasound. It was like Christmas only better! I woke up early and took a shower, and tried to pass the time. Around 9:45 Steve came and picked me up, and after almost getting in a wreck (I think he was super nervous too) We finally made it to my appointment.

They took us into the ultrasound room, where my doctor greeted us and it was finally time to see my baby again!

Working in Labor and Delivery has good things and bad things. One of the bad things, is that I see everything that can go wrong in a pregnancy. I know that you can never plan for anything to go how you want, and I was super nervous to even know if there was even a baby, let alone a heart beat.

I looked over at Steven and refused to look unless there was still a baby in there. Finally the doctor said "here is your baby." Probably one of the best moments so far. I couldn't believe it. There was actually a baby in there. It wasn't a gummy bear anymore. It was an actual baby!

My doctor was moving the wand around on my stomach and our sweet baby kept putting it's hands up by it's face. I kept saying to my doctor this is so weird! I was so cool to see my baby move around! There is nothing quite like it.

When it came time to find out the gender of our baby, the baby refused to open it's legs up. I was so sad. I told my doctor, well I guess my husband will just have to pay for a private ultrasound so we could find out later. But since my doctor is so awesome he told me I could come back later on when I have walked around and maybe the baby would turn.

Steven and I tried to kill the time, but it seemed like the longest day of our lives. I was getting really anxious. Since Saturday was the Byu game against utah, we decided to walk to the store and buy some car chalk and decorate the car. It was super hot outside so I decided I better go inside to cool down when I got a phone call from the doctors office. They wanted us to come right then.

We barely made it to the office,because we almost ran out of gas but as soon as we got there they had a room already for us. This time the room had a huge flat screen tv to see our baby on. The doctor put the wand again on my stomach and it's little hands were by it's face again, only this time when he was moving the ultrasound all over my stomach the baby was going crazy! Kicking and swatting, It was so so cool to watch. We knew right then that we were having a baby boy! My husbands face was priceless. He had been wanting a little boy since we got married. We couldn't believe it!

We are so excited for this new adventure in our lives. And we can't wait to welcome our baby to the family.
Here are some pictures of revealing the gender to our families *shout out to my awesome sister-in-law Keeley who made our cupcakes*  and some pictures we took to announce our baby boy!
