Excited beyond words
Im having a girl. Im having a girl. Im having a girl.
Oh My G-D! Im having a GIRL!
First off, let me say that this whole experience is amazing! Just Amazing. Im going to be the father of a beautiful baby girl. She is going to be smart, charming, breathtaking, independent, sweet, cute, never leaving the house, under lock and key, kept far away from the evils of the world, chauffeured everywhere, and under armed guard. Im serious. Im not playing. This is my little girl we are talking about. If I even catch a 3 year old taking a quick glance at my wifes belly...............'lights out' kid. Im not above that. Maybe you have not noticed, but over the last week, the stock prices of Smith and Wesson and Remington have skyrocketed! Im buying every gun I see. David Karesh and those whack jobs at waco are going to look like they had a small collection compared to the armory Im building up. Yeah, ask my little girl on a date someday and see the amount of firepower crazy old dad is carrying around the house.
'Crazy old dad'. I cant believe I just referred to myself as that...........................The transformation to adult continues.
The transformation took a huge step last Friday. We have been filled with so much excitement and nerves the last week or so knowing we were going to find out if our little b-dub was going to be a boy or girl. Traci and I dont understand how people can wait. We had to know, there are so many things to decide and plan for. We were so impatient, Traci even had the date of the ultrasound moved up by 4 days.
So, the tech starts the ultrasound up and we see the black and white video we love so much. We can see little Miss b-dub and wow she has gotten bigger. The tech is looking at all the different sides of the baby and besides making sure all parts all there and working, all I can think of is that we are going to find out if it is a boy or girl. It was as if she was holding out on us. Dont get me wrong, I am psyched that we got an extra amount of ultrasound time but we couldnt wait any longer. So, I brought it up - " Are you able to determine the sex of the baby?" The tech replies " Ohhh, that is what you are here for today?" I mean cmon. What does it look like we are doing? My wife has her belly hanging out so you can rub a magic wand and show us pictures and Im sitting on a stool in corner hanging on every image on the screen because we are trying to order a pizza. What do you mean that the perinatal center is not the best place to reach dominos. Well hell then, we are leaving.
But we didnt leave, she rubbed that magnificent magic ultrasound wound and showed us that it was an amazing little baby girl. Or maybe it was what she didnt show us that made us know it was an amazing little baby girl. I couldnt believe it. No, really, I couldnt believe it. I asked at least 5 times if she was sure. I have heard stories that people have been told a baby is a girl only to be born a boy. Psyche, now go by new bedding and new toys and come up with a name fast. The tech said that she will let the dr. look as well and she wouldnt tell him what it was so we would be positively sure.
The doctor came in and verified that we were having a girl. Of course that didnt stop me from asking him 5 times as well. Though, we received some excellent reassurance from him that it was a girl. He said that if he was wrong, he would buy our baby a whole new wardrobe and re-paint the nursery himself. That was good enough for me, the doctor was willing to put his money where his mouth is.
So, we are having a baby girl and we are ecstatic. Just everyone please help me take up a donation fund for the amount of clothing that Traci is already buying Little Miss B Dub. I know, I know, she cant resist, 'little girl clothes are just so cute'. That is a story for another posting- "Motherhood Addictions".
I was so excited when we found out. We called our immediate family and shared the good news and I just wanted to stand up at the Starbucks we were at and scream to everyone there:
Im having a girl. Im having a girl. Im having a girl.
Oh My G-D, Im having a girl!
