Well, not what we expected, but... - WE'RE HAVING A....

My OB knew I was really anxious about finding out the sex of this baby, so she told our tech to give us the higher resolution ultrasound (the U/S was planned, but not the higher resolution type)...anyways, I can barely breathe here...we found out, at 12:53 PM (yes, I remember the exact time), and at 15 weeks + 5 days, what we are having--
IT'S A

OK, ENOUGH TORTURE:

GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL

WE ARE SO STINKIN' EXCITED!

Sorry for all that torturous waiting...

I had to. Couldn't help myself. I honestly didn't think that we'd find out today, to tell you the truth! But SHE is on her way! Miss _________ _________ Hayes!

OMG.

I can't believe it.

MY BABY GIRL.

I think I need a good long nap after all this excitement! Jeez.

At first, the OB said that we probably wouldn't be able to tell, it was probably too early, yadda yadda yadda, and our tech was killing me the first few minutes, she couldn't find the baby very easily...but she finally got her perfectly. THERE SHE WAS. When she first got her in clear view, after the first few seconds, she said "You're having a BOY!" and we both asked her to look around a little more...then she said "OOPS! That was the cord!"



A boy would've been wonderful, but Ryan and I both really want a girl, and we're so happy and excited right now, you have no idea. He called into work and asked for another hour off for lunch, which will put him home pretty late tonight, but he's making me lunch right now, LOVE THAT MAN.









CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?!?

This could possibly be the longest post in PC history, length-wise, eh?

THANKS FOR ALL THE GIRL VIBES! They sure paid off!!!

Boys r us replied: That is wonderful news!

Funny that the tech thought the cord was the penis though...that was the first thing my tech said to me, "That is the cord, you can tell it's NOT the penis b/c the u/s shows the blood flowing through it.." and mine wasn't even a high tech u/s.

Anyways....congrats congrats!!
I know you're excited!

Adrienne522 replied: I am so happy for you!!!!

KingMom replied: congrats! How exciting That's exactly how I felt when we found out we were having a girl this time!

So, now that you will have a boy and a girl, you think you might try anymore or is that it?

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Girls are sooooooo fun! YEAH! That is wonderful!

We never knew for sure with Tay she always had her legs crossed or was in a funny position...my OB said he thought girl because she had her back to us once and flipped over and he did not see any outdoor plumbing We went with nuetral colors(you know oh this will work for a boy or girl) and when she was born I don't think she wore a single yellow or green sleeper

Get to the store girlie! You need pink and LOTS of it!!!!!

jcc64 replied: A big pink CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Congratulations on a baby girl!!

booey2 replied: Congratulations, you are the envy of my husband, he always wanted a girl but will never have one. Have tons of fun buying all those cute, pink clothes.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Congrats!!!!

MommyToAshley replied: Congrats and welcome to the pink team!

TheOaf66 replied: congratulations

ashtonsmama replied:
Thank you all for the congrats. My sis and I are heading out for a pedicure and shopping *girl time without kiddos* in a couple hours (YAY). So I'll hopefully find some cute girly clothes and get started on HER wardrobe!

And we do really want 3 kids, maybe 4 total, but we both think we may want to adopt later on, so possibly one more of our own after this one and then adopt? Just thinking about it now, that seems like what I'd like to do.
