Today was our ultrasound. This ultrasound would check the heart, spinal cord, kidneys, down syndrome risk, as well as, try to tell us the sex. As usual I made myself completely sick over it. I get like this before every important appointment. I still have yet to feel any movement so I convinced myself that something was wrong. Both my mom and Momma Beaumont were coming to see Baby Manning for the first time. The doctors told me to come with a full bladder so I was drinking water all morning. Problem is it was going through me way too fast. It must have been my nerves. I had to pee just before Jason and Momma B picked me up so I peed and drank more water on the way to the appointment. When we pulled in I realized I could hardly get out of the car and walk because I had to go so bad, so bad it actually hurt, therefore I could not wait and I had to go ahead and go to the bathroom yet again. My mom arrived shortly after and we were called back to the ultrasound room. I relaxed immediately when I saw the baby moving around on the screen. The ultrasound lasted about 30 mins or so. The tech kept telling us what was what but only about half of it actually looked like the body part she said it was. It was so wonderful just laying there watching the baby move around on the screen. Then finally she got to the part we have all been waiting for. She showed us what she described as a little hamburger bun which meant it was a girl. (Pic attached) I am not sure what she was talking about but its her job so we took her word for it.
I think at first I was a just a little bit disappointed, I always thought either way boy or girl it didn't matter but the more I thought about it, I think I really wanted a boy for Jay. Because of our situation and what it took to get pregnant this will most likely be our only child and men always want a boy no matter what they say. I only have a sister so I have no idea what to do with a boy but I must have still been leaning that way. But it was so wonderful to know what the baby was and stop calling it, it. I could finally call her, her and she and that was a wonderful feeling. Plus everything looked healthy and that is all that really matters. We all went to lunch after that, talking about how we were going to decorate and calling all our friends and family it was so exciting, we were having a little girl, a little princess.
I took the rest of the day off work but Mom and Jay had to go back to work which meant that Momma B and I had nothing left to do but shop. This got me very excited, I could finally buy clothes and girls are way more fun to dress than boys. I just have one little problem....I hate pink! Its very hard to shop for a girl when you refuse to let her wear pink. We bought a few things but didn't go overboard. Later that evening Jay called and said: "what are you and my daughter eating for dinner" I about lost it right then and there, it was so wonderful to hear him say "my daughter." It feels so real now!
