And the cake was........?
Today was the day I have waited on for a long time. Not only for the 5 months I have been pregnant but since I was a little girl. I was about to know the identity to my very first child. I woke up and got ready and the nerves started in. Driving there I thought I was going to die from the nervousness. We got to the doctor's office at 915 since that was when we thought our appt was but the receptionist had informed us our appt was at 9. Whoops! So, instead of waiting for maybe 15 minutes, we had to wait for an hour. Yes, this was our fault but imagine having to sit there for an hour with your butterflies (and a full bladder) making it's presence known. Finally, the door opened up and I heard my name called. This was it! I was about to meet my child. Now, I have been asked my preference and honestly I could not tell you either way. My biggest fear (besides something being wrong with the baby) was that I would be disappointed in the gender of the baby. Well, I laid down on the table and the tech dimmed the lights (here we go I thought, my heart pounding away) she put the ultrasound gel on my tummy and proceeded to take a look at the baby. She asked us if we wanted to know what it was and of course we did! She went straight for the legs to see if the baby was cooperating. And........... he was! There on the screen was the proof that I am going to have a son. I was in shock for the entire ultrasound. Not because it was a boy bbut because we finally had an identity to this little person inside me. Everytime she looked at something she would his arm or he's moving and hearing those two little words was the craziest thing I have experienced to date! 5 months of not knowing and now here he was on this little screen. The ultrasound went great and the baby looked just as good. I admit I did not cry during the ultrasound but I think I was still in shock. But when we went back out into the waiting room and it started to sink in my heart swelled with joy and I couldn't stop smiling! (neither could Josh lol) Just thinking about "him" makes me want to cry now. I am already so proud of him! So, tonight we had some friends and family over to dinner and to reveal our cake. I have to say it was one of the most magical nights I have had in a while. Knowing that we had people there that cared about our Peanut! I know he is loved so much already by so many people. I have recieved texts and messages today that just made me smile and I appreciate them so much! We took a poll to see what everyone thought we were having right before revealing our cake and the results were girl-12 and boy-3. So, I had much satisfaction lifting the lid to the cake and revealing it was a boy! I am SO excited to have a little dude! We even bought him a few outfits that are adorbale! I look forward to working on his room and bonding even more with him. Now I know a lot of people want to know if we have a name picked out and if we are telling and the answer is yes and yes! Our son's name is Kaiser Paul Keeton! We will call him Kai for short. I am so happy to be able to share the news with everyone! We have truly been blessed and feel we hit the jackpot!
