So, last week I got a coupon for a 4D ultrasound at a place right next to our house. Apparently, a 4D ultrasound can determine the sex of the baby at 15 weeks. As soon as I read this, I was was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I told Nick about it, and it took some convincing..but he agreed to go at lunch time the same day. We got to the office and the wait felt like forever (in reality it was more like 10 minutes). Finally, it was our turn. As the technician poured a gallon of goo all over my belly, I looked over at Nick who was video taping the whole thing. I was a little surprised he had brought his video camera, and I couldn't help but laugh at it. The 'proud dad' was already coming out of him and the baby isn't even here yet. That's just like Nick though, he was meant to be super dad. So that ultrasound began, and since I was only 16 weeks the baby resembled an alien. OR as the tech put it nicely, it looked a bit skeletal. The baby was sitting with it's legs crossed (tightly) and one arm back behind it's head. It looked as though it was enjoying a day at the beach. The only thing missing was a tropical drink with an umbrella. The tech couldn't tell the sex since the legs were crossed so tightly, so she started shaking my tummy around. I think it scared Nick, and he blurted out "Hey, don't shake the baby!!" in a nervous voice. The lady looked at me, and I told her to do what she had to do.. Finally, 15 minutes into it....the technician said "look, look, there it is!!! GIRL...(I held my breath thinking that meant it was a girl) THAT IS A BOY!!!!! Oh yeah, THAT'S A BOY!" And there it was, the answer to my 4 month question. I looked at Nick who had the biggest smile on his face, he got his boy and I got mine. We called our families to let them know the exciting news! On the drive home I looked over at Nick and said " I can't believe we are having a baby". He looked back at me and said "and it's a boy!". It was a great day.
