My first prenatal appointment was on March 18th
and luckily we got to go with my original OBGYN that I had when I was pregnant
with Lincoln. We walked into the appointment and the first thing Dr. Haskett
says is, “hey guys, you back from Nebraska now”. Wow that guy is awesome! It
had been about three years so that was really nice that he remembered us. They
did an ultrasound to check the due date and we were given a due date of
September 17, 2014. It was about a week later than what we had thought, but I
guess it was not big deal. Dave got really excited because with my history of
big babies I’m induced about a week early and he wanted to be induced on
September 11, 2014 since it was patriot day.
We had our second appointment on April 15th and everything
looked good. I schedule our Ultrasound for April 30th @ 4p.m. I was
excited, we only had 2 weeks and then we would know what we were having. Dave
thought we were having a girl just because this pregnancy had been slightly
different and he says that it will be whoever is least stressed…haha! He had
been dealing with end of law school things so he figured it would be a girl. I
went back and forth, but really had no clue. We would be happy with another
boy, but at the same time wouldn’t be sad if it was a girl. We were happy with
whatever. Everyone kept saying, “I bet you’re ready for a girl after having two
boys”. I always said I wouldn’t mind either way, because it was true.
As the ultrasound appointment was approaching my brain
started racing. I wanted to find a cute way to do the gender reveal for our
little boys. After researching and thinking about it (and having a 4pm
appointment) I decided to go with the balloons out of the box. The boys love
balloons and they would get to play with them after. The day before the
ultrasound I found a big box and the morning of I decorated it. I told Dave
that after our appointment we would just need to stop and grab some balloons. I
packed the box in the back of the car and off we went.
(I never did take a picture of the box I made, but once I'm out of the hospital I'll edit this post, or maybe I'll have Dave take one and send it to me)
