Boy or Girl??

Nick's family came up to visit us the first week of July and they were able to spend a whole we with us. We had such a great time together! I really wanted them to be in town for my upcoming "gender" ultrasound, but I was only 19 weeks and my doctor said I needed to wait till 20 weeks. I decided to call the doctor office anyway to see if they would let me go the end of my 19th week. I was scheduled to have my ultrasound scheduled for July 16th, but instead we were able to get it done on July 9th. I think most everyone guessed that we would be having a girl and so I was getting ready for a girl in my mind. We got into the ultrasound room and the doctor started showing us the head and the legs and for a brief moment, I thought I had discovered the gender on my own (if you know what I mean), but I decided to just be patient and wait for the doctor to make it absolute. We could see the baby kick it's legs and we even saw a yawn!! It was really such an exciting and happy moment for me. I think the last time I felt so happy was on Nick and my wedding day. I loved every minute of the ultrasound. Then the doctor said "do you want to know the gender?" and we both smiled and said "YES". The doctor went straight to it...the baby made it pretty easy...but my first view was right...it is a BOY! We are very excited to welcome little baby boy Taylor to our home.
