Valentine's day came around and I had no idea what to get Ben. So I texted my brother Cory the night before and asked him if he had any ideas and he said, "you should be pregnant, that's what I got last year". I told him that's easier said than done and then continued to brainstorm. Ben and I decided to go off birth control last July so I figured Cory's suggestion wasn't too far fetched. So the next morning I ran to Walmart before Ben woke up and bought an E.P.T test. Sure enough I was pregnant! I couldn't believe it, I really did not expect to be pregnant, my hands started shaking and I decided to go write Ben a Valentine's Card titled "Oh Baby" little did he know I litterally meant baby :) He was very excited to find out and we are both looking forward to our new little addition.
I am 9 weeks along and will be due October 17th. My first appointment is on March 29th, so ultrasound pictures will be coming soon!
It's a boy! Ben was first to diagnose the gender even before the Ultrasound Technician. It was so fun to see our little man for a good 30 minutes while the Ultrasound Technician took her time pointing out different parts of our baby. Ben was pretty good at seeing what was there, I struggled a bit trying to figure out what each picture was of. It was fun when we got to see the movement of the baby. We got to see him bend his fingers, open his mouth and eat his hand, and right before the two bottom pictures were taken we saw him doing his hip thrusts, that was pretty cute to see :) Seeing our little guy made it seem more real to me and we are so so excited to meet him!
