There's Been a Change!

Turns out our bun in the oven isn't a Josslyn Faith after all!! It's a boy! And this time, we were able to surprise daddy! So the story goes a little like this.....

I had my regular doctor appt/ultrasound this past Friday. For the first time ever, JD couldn't make the appointment because of work. I told him it was no biggie because it was just for routine measurements and such. So during the ultrasound, the tech asks me if I would like to know what we are having. I tell her that I cheated and had an ultrasound a few weeks ago because I have a friend who is also an ultrasound tech. She says "ok, just don't tell me what it is." Well, Aubree was with me (need I say more) and says "I have a sister!" The tech just says its no big deal, she is gonna look anyway. She looks around a bit and tells me that the baby isn't in position and she will check later. About 10 minutes goes by and she ever so nicely stops the ultrasound, folds her hands in her lap, and tells me "we have a dilemma." My heart proceeds to drop to my feet and my stomach lunges to the top of my throat as I proceed to ask her "what is wrong" while trying to remain calm. She says "it's a boy." At this point, my stomach and heart assume their normal positions, my eyes get a little bit large, and I begin to laugh a teary laugh all while keeping in mind that my 2 year old is right next to me and she gets concerned very easily. I was not upset in the least but asked her at least three times if she was sure because I could not tell JD if it wasn't 100% certain. It was really funny because she felt like she had to prove it to me so she prints about 6 pictures of nothing but "all boy" shots. She tells me, "what else could this be?" I believed her but just to be sure, she calls over the tech in the room next door. She comes in, looks for about 10 seconds and says "its a boy."

Now, the question is how to tell JD?? I knew I didn't want to tell him over the phone so when he asks if everything went ok and if its still a girl, I say "yes." I had some time to waste until he was able to come home, so we planned a little surprise for daddy. I told JD that I had been shopping and found him a late birthday present since I had not gotten him anything 2 weeks earlier. We went to party city, got some helium filled blue balloons, put them in a big box, and generically wrapped the box . We made him open it right away because of course the first thing he wants to do is to look at the ultrasound pictures. The pictures can take it from here.....all I need to add is that he kept saying "are you serious, are you serious?" He was ecstatic to say the least! We are ecstatic! We were ecstatic that it was a girl before but the change/surprise added a whole other level of excitement. We do not have a name yet, but hopefully we can agree to one in the very near future!

Note the color change of his face : )

Baby Boy K coming this April!!!
