boy or girl??

yesterday was very exciting!! 

we got to find out the gender of our baby!

here is how the day went down....

our appointment was scheduled for 2 o'clock.

i got off work a little after 1 and stopped at mcdonalds on the way home to get an extra large coke (with extra ice, of course) so that i would have a "full bladder" as the doctor requested ;)

we got to the doctors office and checked in and then the wait began...

luckily for us we only had to wait for about 5 minutes before they called us back!

i was super nervous!! 

right when she put the ultrasound "wand" (if that's even what it's called?) on my stomach we saw the baby's profile and body. SO CRAZY!!

it was almost instant relief just to see that there was actually a baby with a beating heart moving around in there. 

she went through all of body parts to measure everything and make sure everything was as it was supposed to be. everything looked good :)

then we got to the fun stuff!! finding out what this little bean was :) 

well it was definitely a BOY! 

the ultrasound tech said she wouldn't let anyone talk her out of it haha he was not shy about it! 

i was able to download the video of our ultrasound online. i love being able to re-watch it! 

isn't it so crazy to see him moving around and sucking his thumb??

love it!

we decided to do a little gender reveal party that night with our families. 

everyone chose either team boy or team girl

the votes were obviously stacked for team girl!

there were quite a few people in my family that weren't there that were team girl, too :) 

then the wait was over! we decorated the top of a pizza to say either boy or girl...

needless to say-- a lot of people were wrong! 

everyone was so excited though :) 

and although all we really wanted was a healthy baby....

we really wanted a boy! 

so so so excited!!

now we just have to agree on a name....
