The verdict...

Well, we went in for the ultrasound today. They tell you to drink 4 8oz glasses of water in the hour before you come. I think I must have a mom brain today because in the stress to drink enough water, I accidentally doubled the dose. What was I thinking? No wonder I felt like I was going to throw up (I drank 8 8oz glasses of water in less than 15 minutes).

Anyway, after a long wait we finally got into the ultrasound room. The technician said that everything looks great. She said that the baby is measuring at 21 weeks and 1 day, so pretty much right on with my original due date. About the gender, she said she's 100% sure that we'll be having a BOY!! We are thrilled and I'm already thinking of all the cute little boy things that we can make for him. It is kind of crazy to think of entering this entirely different world of little boys. We can't wait though. I'd scan a picture of the "I'm a boy" ultrasound, but it was a little graphic. The baby was also too big now to fit in just one picture.
