Yesterday morning, before the sun began to shine, LB and I began our trek to The City. This was no ordinary trip to the city. No, this was an exciting, very very exciting, trip to the city. We were to find out if we were going to have a boy or girl. Well, as you all know, we've received snow this last week here in our great state. So, traveling to The city would be no trick until we got into The City where approximately a foot of snow had fallen and temperatures were still below freezing.
We were over an hour into our journey, only 30 minutes from the Dr's office, when we got the call. Pipes had burst in the building and our Ultra Sound appointment was canceled! We were still to see our Dr. at 9:30, but that was still over two hours away. But, what were we going to do until then? And how easily would we be able to get around especially since it began to snow again? That's right, more snow.
Now, I live in Oklahoma, not New York City. I have no desire to live in New York City, one of the reasons being, I don't like snow that much. Or the cold for that matter. Luckily we had other errands to run. We took care of them and then headed to the Dr's office.
Not having been able to have our Ultra Sound, our appointment with the Dr. was short. She measured my abdomen, weighed me, and took my blood pressure. All were fine. As LB and I were getting ready to leave she popped her head back in and said "I just got a call from the imaging building. The water is back on and they'll start seeing patients at noon. Why don't yall head over there and see if they can work you in so you don't have to make another trip since you live so far away."
That idea sounded great to us. If we didn't have to make another trip and take another day off work it would be worth the wait.
The ultra sound lady was really nice. We told her we were hoping she could tell us what the sex of the baby was. She said she would if the baby would cooperate. I laid down on the bed and LB got comfortable in the chair. She squeezed the cold gel on my belly and got the show on the road. Baby Jones was not wanting to cooperate at first. He/She was very wiggly. Once She/He calmed down, we saw the backbone, kidneys, stomach, hands, feet, and the cute little baby face. We even saw a cute little baby yawn!
She worked for a long time taking pictures and measuring. I was beginning to wonder if she was ever going to tell us the sex. Then at the last second, she pulled up a picture of the baby we hadn't seen yet. There was a leg and then another leg, and then right in between...
That's right, IT'S A BOY!!!
