we took rowan to our appointment this morning (left greer with aunt lindsay) and they took the three of us right back to the ultrasound room. i was just excited to find out, jord really wanted a baby boy and rowan definitely wanted a baby brother. \\\\ funny story... yesterday as we were driving, rowan was talking about her baby brother, and i said "but you know this could be a baby sister too, right?" and she immediately flew off the handle and was claiming that this was a baby brother! and it dawned on me that all the conversations that jord and i, and everyone else, have had with her about the baby have been "do you want a baby brother, or a baby sister? and it hit me that she probably thought that when she was asked this question so many times, that she got to choose! and of course she decided that she wanted a baby brother, so this baby was a boy! it never occurred to me that we were confusing her so much. i felt so bad! //// anyways. the ultrasound tech put the wand on my tummy and immediately went to the money shot, and that baby's legs were WIDE open! now..... i knew what i saw. there was a half of another leg right there in the middle. but given our previous 'reveal' that was incorrect, i wanted to be 10000% sure that were right. so i told her to point out all the parts to me. jord was like "okay, so you are POSITIVE that this is a boy?" and she said "i've done hundreds and hundreds of ultrasounds, and i've never been wrong." and that gave me all the confidence i needed. WE ARE HAVING A BOY! i don't think that i had allowed myself to hope or think either way, but man, i was SO surprised and so happy. rowan was being her usual shy self and wouldn't say anything, but i could tell she was excited, and jord was on cloud 9. we went and picked up greer girl, and some balloons, and my sister Taryn took these pics for us for our big "reveal" to send to our families.
and although the girls weren't showing it for one of these pics (rowan wasn't feeling well and greer was g.r.u.m.p.y) , we're soooooooooooooooooo excited!!!
