This past week my family and I went to have an ultrasound done with find out the gender of our little baby. I was dying to find out what we are having. The excitement was killing me.
I had a great support group that came with me to the ultrasound. But my mother-in-law also came. And don't get me wrong I do love the woman but she is sometimes so unbearable to be around and does not think before she speaks.
So, of course the moment she walks in the door for the appointment, she starts rubbing my belly and states "Oh look at your BIG belly". With my husband, mother and other family and friends present, I tried not to pay her much attention.
She also walks in with her arms full, carrying two stuffed animals and a baby blanket. After she gives them to me she informs me that they were in storage and had been chewed and curled on by mice. Oh, and that she hadn't washed any of it yet.....
After a short wait we were all called back into the ultrasound room. It was such a great feeling to see my baby and hear their heartbeat. She found our baby's gender quite fast. I knew right away before she even told us. It's a boy!
My husband and I are so exciting. We're going to have a little man! He's definitely gonna be mommy's little boy.
