It's a BOY! And daddy's 3-0 birthday.

The day we thought would never come finally came.  Monday May 9th.  We had the ultrasound appointment in the morning and then the rest of the day off to hang out together. 

We went to the appointment and found out that I was suppose to register before.  Of course I had already had a dream of this happening the night before, in my dream in went much worse then in real life. We finally got back with the tech and she started with the boring stuff, measuring organs and such.  Finally about half way through she said it's a boy.  We were both in a little bit of shock because we were surprised that it wasn't a girl.  We had only in the past few days starting thinking it was going to be a girl.  Mostly from people telling us they thought it was!  But that didn't last too long.  A little man.  We were so excited to finally know and be able to plan.  The tech said the baby was measuring a little bit big. And daddy said he looked like he had long legs.  I can't imagine were he gets that from.  ;)

After the amount we went to the midwife appointment which was pretty uneventful.  Josh had sent a mass text with the announcement.  And it was his birthday so his phone was going crazy between the texts back with congratulations and the birthday wishes on facebook.  

Then we headed to lunch, Chinese, and to register for baby things.  We spend the whole afternoon looking about baby things and registering at Baby's R Us and Target.  I can't believe all the things involved in having a baby.  And the amount of choices and decisions to make.  Goodness.  I feel very blessed to have an other half that cares about these things and helps in the decision making process.  It would be very overwhelming without support. 

After our afternoon together I had plans for Josh's birthday to go to a tasting class at a local deli.  We learned all about different salami's and tasted many different types produced by a local company.  To some this might be silly.  But I just knew Josh would love it.  Meats and cheeses and breads.  It was good soul food.  That's for sure. 

Of course we had to stop by The Folks house to show them baby pictures and tell them about our tasting to wrap up our day.  It was a long day and we both wished we had a day to recover but it was one of the best days.  I hope Josh had an amazing 30 birthday.  <3
