IT'S A BOY

We had waited for what seemed like forever to find out the gender of our baby! Talon said he never had any feelings either way because he didn't want to get his hopes up and be let down. He would've been happy with either. I, on the other hand, only had thoughts, dreams, visions, and feelings of BOY, BOY, BOY. But not because I didn't want a girl, but because over the last couple of years I have had this connection with a little spirit I just knew was my son! It's something personal and special that God has allowed me to experience.

The closer it got to us finding out, the more nervous I became. I just knew it was a boy since I got pregnant but then I started realizing, hey it's a 50/50 chance here and you could very well be carrying a little girl! I hadn't really prepared my mind for that. So when our 20 week ultrasound came I was so excited, but so nervous to find out if we were going to have a son or daughter. When we started the appointment it took forever for the nurse to tell us the gender because she was looking at all the other parts of the baby first. It was really fun though to see MY little baby rolling around inside of me. The nurse kept saying, "Wow, that baby is really squished in there, doesn't look like it has a lot of room." Sorry, baby. 

And it was kind of comical as well because during the whole thing I would think to myself, "oh look, there's my baby's face. How cute!" And the nurse would say, "And here we have the stomach..." Oh, whoops. Okay, well it all just looked like a big blob then and I couldn't decipher what was what at all. haha. I kind of started to disengage a little bit just because we were in there for SO long and she kept taking the same pictures over and over because she was training and Talon and I just kept looking at each other like, "c'mon already!" Finally the nurse says, "WOW...okay...um I feel pretty confident in saying it's a boy!" And I just started crying because oh my goodness, this connection I've had for the past couple of years was real and now he is going to be a part of my life and that is so special! And Talon just laughed and started smiling and we were both so, so happy! 

We left the appointment and were just so thrilled. I immediately called my mom and told her and then my dad and his reaction was probably the funniest. When I told him it was a boy he goes, "YESSSSSSS. YESSSSSSSS." Ha, he has four daughters. 

I told the rest of my family and we went straight to the Baby Gap so we could buy a little boy outfit to wrap and take to Talon's family to surprise them! That was so much fun and everyone is so excited and we are so happy and grateful that our little boy is loved by so many already!

I may or may not have slept with a tiny baby sock last night...
