Thursday, September 16th was such an amazing day! It started off like any other day and I dropped Parker off at preschool. However, today I was able to volunteer in his class for an hour. What a joy it was! I had so much fun watching him interact with his peers and was actually so surprised at the way he doesn't participate in large group activities. He is so funny about it, he just acts like he is exempt from participating. Little stinker...we will have to work on that. It was a really fun morning though! Later that morning we were just hanging around the house with Tyler. When finally Ty decided to "poooop" in the potty. This was huge!!! It has been such a struggle for him and Ryan and I. I was ready to take him into the doctors because I didn't think it was normal to scream for hours on the potty. Literally it was all afternoon, day after day after day. But, I am so proud of my little man. He did it, and is still so proud of himself after he does it. He runs out of the bathroom as fast as he can, and gets in our faces and yells "pooop" and has been doing it ever since. Even twice in public restrooms.
Then, while the kids were napping I had been on the computer doing some research on how early you can tell the sex of your baby. I am 13-13.5 weeks and it has been driving me crazy! I decided to push my due date forward a few days and tell them I was 14 weeks. Worst case scenario they can't see what it is and we go back next week for free. So I had my appointment at 4:00. It was amazing to see the little baby so snug and cuddly in my belly. The ultrasound tech was wonderful and she was pretty confident in the first 5 minutes what it was. So she asked us "Are you sure you want to know" and of course we said "YES." She typed on the screen "ITS A GIRL" I about lost it! I had tears in my eyes and a smile that reached around the world and I really thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. My heart was pounding. The tech (Kathy) said she was 95% sure but lets try and get that "million dollar shot." I think she ended up getting about 5 of them. We couldn't believe it. On top of that we were able to just relax and watch our baby girl move around for about an hour and a half. Kathy sent us home with almost 40 photos and some 4d pics as well. Its a dream come true! We feel so blessed and still in shock that God has chosen to not only give us two unbelievable little boys but now a girl. I am so thankful for my family!! After the appointment we took the kids to get a smoothie, because honestly I really don't know how the boys sat in that room as long as they did-and were so good and quiet. Tyler had guessed a boy and Parker had guessed a girl....so Parker got to choose their flavor of smoothie that they shared. We then walked around Babies R Us and I didn't even know where to begin. I will have to save shopping for another day...I was in shock! Now it is time to come up with a name!
Lastly, I am going to post this with hopes of continuing my blog and staying somewhat up to date on it.
