17 Week Update


What a week its been! First we found out we are having a boy and then we flew to Chicago for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Overnight walk. Our doctors appointment went well and luckily I have a cool doctor who performed an ultrasound on me despite one not having been scheduled. I had asked her if she could do one so she could try to tell me the sex. Steve left the room and she told me not to go out and buy clothes yet since she could only tell me at 20 weeks for sure. The entire time I was watching the screen I'm thinking "girl, girl, girl"...i wanted it for Steve b/c i knew that's what he wanted. So my doctor shows us the money shot and to my dismay there was something there...two balls...at least that's what i thought i was seeing but I didn't say anything. I just kept looking and it was clear there was something there. That is when she said "yup, it looks like there is something there...I'm pretty sure at 20 weeks I'll be telling you that you're having a boy." Wow...I had tears in my eyes it was so surreal...all i could think of was Steve and how shocked he will be. Me, I was on cloud nine...couldn't have been more excited...I finally have my little man that I wanted!
Our weekend in Chicago was great, we spent time with friends and my sister and her fiance. Sadly half our family had to cancel last minute, they were all missed. We ate, walked around and supported our charity. Steve and I LOVE Chicago and could totally see ourselves there. Thanks to everyone who supported us with our walk and a special thanks to my dad who treated us to an amazing weekend.
