Were you surprised? I was surprised

So my last post I talked about how we would be finding out the gender next month. I went for my 16 week appointment last Thursday and they said that since all the OB's in Frisco do their own sono's that the radiologists downstairs do free ones every once in a while so they keep up their certifications. So they said they needed 2nd trimester moms and said it was free. I said sure and called Adam to make sure it was okay since it was a possibility they would see the gender.

I went downstairs at 4:15, had to sign paperwork and all this nonsense for a stupid, free sono. I sat there for an HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES waiting. They said there was a "stat leg." Now. You can tell other people that and get away with that. But you're telling a nurse. And unless you are dopplering the entirety of both legs, there's absolutely no way it takes that long. I know. I do them at bedside all the time. Did I mention I had Emma with me? I thought it was a good sign when I stopped by the cafeteria on the way to the radiology department and they were closed but the guy cleaning told me to just take some food. So I grabbed a salad that had ham, turkey and cheese on top and a little cereal thing of rice krispies.

In the waiting room, I let Emma take domain over the place after the first thirty minutes of waiting. Seriously? I'm doing YOU a favor by helping you renew your license and this is how you treat me? Okay. Game on. At the end I popped open the rice krispies and I'm sorry to say they got all over the floor. But you know what? At 5:30 all the secretary staff left. So there wasn't anyone there to judge or watch us. So I just left it there. Packed up Emma, called Adam crying and sat in traffic on the way home to boot.

My OB's office called the next morning to profusely apologize and say again that there was a "stat DVT." "That's a clot" the nurse let me know. Oh thanks. Did you read on my profile where it says I'm a nurse? Did you read on my profile where it says I actually work in a hospital, DESK nurse? Oh I was so mad. But she said they would give us a time and that we would be guaranteed in. So I called up Adam. He arranged to leave work early and we went to the sono.

It was a fine experience. No drama this time around and everyone was very apologetic. Fine, fine.

So, anywho, IT'S A BOY!!! :-)

It's so surprising!! Adam and just drove home stunned. Ecstatic, but stunned. He has all brothers. I have a sister. John and Sharon have only girls. Annie and Michael have only boys. We're totally changing it up here with having a mix! It's so crazy! And it's so hard to wrap my head around the idea of a boy. So weird!!

Names being considered:

Ethan - Adam's pick

Adam Andrew - My pick but Adam's being cautious about it

Andrew - I think it's a great name

Nathan - My second pick to Adam or Andrew

Andrew Ethan - my compromise. I really don't like the name Ethan :-0 lol
