Let's just start this post by posting a picture from our 10 week ultrasound!
How cute! I'd like to say that those are legs, but they don't form that early. They sure looks like legs though!
Alright, can I just say... science is amazing! When we went to our 12 weeks appointment, my OB told us about this fancy new test they were offering. Just a simple blood test would tell us if our baby has any genetic disorders and the gender of our baby. And best of all, it was free! Hmmm... wait 4 more weeks to find out the gender through ultrasound, or find out 4 weeks early?
Now I admit, finding out through a blood test wasn't as exciting as seeing it on an ultrasound, but I'm not a patient person, I wasn't waiting 4 more LOOONG weeks!
We did the blood test and a few days later we had the results back!
We are having a perfectly healthy BOY!
Both Trevor and I were completely shocked! He has been convinced since the day we got married that we would have all girls. I don't know why he thought that...maybe he was just preparing himself just incase. So... I was also convinced that we were having a girl. Maybe this is why we don't do a lot of gambling when we are in Vegas. We suck at betting!
I have to admit, because it was a blood test, I wasn't completely convinced. So I was anxious for our 20 week ultrasound to confirm the blood test results. And sure enough... BOY!
We are beyond thrilled! Trevor has bought him a few Under Armour shirts to match daddy, and of course his first Utes onesie for football season.
Once again, science is AMAZING! It boggles my mind that at our 20 week ultrasound they were able to see our little guys kidneys, measure his brain, look at the chambers of his heart, make sure his spine was developing correctly... all by ultrasound. It's fascinating.
I love this little guy!
