We are officially going to be the proud parents of a baby boy!Rachel and I went to the doctor this afternoon for the big visit! We were promptly directed back to the ultrasound room that we have been waiting so long to visit. As Rachel handled some pre-ultrasound business, the ultrasound technician asked if we knew what the baby was going to be and if we wanted her to try to find out. OF COURSE I told her that we wanted to know if she could get a good shot. She fired up the machine and started sliding it around Rachel's belly. We saw the baby almost immediately and what seemed like less than a minute in, we were informed with certainty that we will be having a little baby BOY! She showed us on the screen and we all concurred, it's going to be a boy (for modesty's sake, no pictures of this will be shared). Our little guy was more active in there than I could have ever imagined (in large part due to the Diet Dr. Pepper Rach drank to increase our chances of catching a glimpse). He kept spinning around and flipping back and forth! Despite his best efforts, the technician moved on to measure our little boy's head, leg bone, arm bone, and spine. She noted the four chambers of his heart and two little kidneys and a bladder. She took pictures of his feet and hands and showed us the blood flow around the umbilical cord. "Everything looks perfect and right on time for September 12th", responded the ultrasound tech. Rachel and I both smiled and took a deep breath, proud to hear about our healthy little boy and realizing that the time is growing closer every day!
After the doctor's visit, we went to Baby's R Us. We had a 20% coupon and were ready to buy the crib! To make a long story short, Baby's R Us didn't have it, but Toys R Us did. We drove to Toys R Us and bought our little boys bed!
We then went to the mall and bought our little man his first outfits from the parents!
(Yes he'll be a Yankee fan. No, he doesn't have a choice!)
We are absolutely THRILLED!!!
"Sons are a heritage from the Lord,
children are a reward from Him,
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man
who's quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame,
when they contend with their enemy at the gate."
-Psalm 127:3-5
(I know it's a repeat verse, but there's not a better one for this entry!)
Reading your blog brings a smile to my face and sweet memories to my mind. The excitement of expecting your first little one is so precious and we are so thrilled for you! Little boys are WONDERFUL! We are praying for you both that the remainder of the pregnancy and the delivery will go well. We are so excited and can't wait to meet little Grady!

ReplyDeleteWoo-hooo! I am so excited! I want to see some pictures! Love y'all both! You are going to be the sest parents in the whole world!
ReplyDeleteI know you may no longer check or update this, but I'll ask anyways. My wife and I bought the same crib and have no information on the brand or model. Now that our son is ready for a big bed, selling or converting it is impossible without that information. There's no sticker or identifying info on the crib. Do you happen to know the brand and model of the crib pictured above? Thanks!
