1 Year ago today...

we found out we were having a boy! I can't believe it's been so long already. I remember it all so vividly! I had my BIG sono at about 8:30 in the morning and couldn't have been more excited. I was told to drink a boat load of water (don't remember the exact amount but it was a lot) and told to hold it afterwards. We got the the MRI place (where I had to go for my sonos) and actually had to ask at one point how much longer I would have to wait because it was getting harder and harder to hold it and then the technician came and got us.

As we entered the room we were asked if we would like to know the sex of the baby...UH YEAH!! I was a day shy of being 19 weeks pregnant at this point and it was killing me to not know yet. The sonogram started and low & behold the baby's legs were closed so our technician said she would come back to it in a bit. She continued to do her measurements and went back again and of course, legs were still closed! We were there for almost an hour at this point because our baby was obviously as stubborn as mommy & daddy already and was not cooperating with moving around for the measurements so it was taking a little time. The Dr. went back one last time and I could hear Joe huffing & puffing int he background. The Dr. then asked 'What do you want it to be' to which I answered 'Anything, just please tell me something!'....then we heard the words 'well...it looks like a boy'. I had tears in my eyes and was so overwhelmed with emotion. Then the technician said 'Yep, it's definitely a boy and showed us the goods'. I wanted to jump off the table and hug Joe so badly. I was crying so hard, I had this feeling it was a boy from day one and couldn't have been more excited! We left the office and I could see that Joe's eyes were puffy too, he definitely shed a tear or two in the office.

How crazy that a year ago today exactly we found out that out hearts would be taken over by a precious little boy and here we sit today watching the Super Bowl with him. Life is good!!!
