Hidden Baby Blog: December 23, 2009

Wow, I didn't think I would be writing another Hidden Baby Blog! We had our appointment with Dr. K yesterday and everything went well! Except for the moment he told us we would have to wait until 22 weeks for the anatomy ultrasound! 5 weeks! AHHH! While we know it is best to wait to do the ultrasound later, it is still hard to wait to know whether Baby Hubbart is a boy or a girl (but we would rather know that all it's organs are forming, than know whether it is a boy or a girl...therefore we would wait with smiles on our face). :)

BUT, our friends Hank and Marie (and baby in the belly Addie) stopped by last night, and she mentioned that she thought we could have an ultrasound done at an outside ultrasound facility, as long as we had our doctors permission. Sure enough, I looked into a few and they have "sneak peaks" so that you can see progress and know the gender before a late ultrasound! And, even better, the one close to our house uses the same sonographer as Dr. K! Perfect. We called this morning and they had a cancellation, so we booked our "sneak peak" for 2:00pm.

Guess what Baby Hubbart is... A BOY!

Landon and I both knew the minute that she put the screen up. Baby Boy was not shy and showed us his stuff immediately. And he was SO ACTIVE! I mean all.over.the.place. Except for our favorite moment when he laid out on the amniotic sac with his knees up in the air...and started sucking his thumb. I cried...and I keep crying thinking about it. It was the cutest little moment.

To back track a little bit, I KNEW Baby Hubbart was Baby BOY Hubbart from day one when I first took the pregnancy test. I just knew it. And I would have felt like a bad mom already had it been a girl... :) Landon has wavered between girl and boy throughout the 3 months, but he mostly thought it was a boy as well.

This is a Hidden Baby Blog because no one knows that we had the ultrasound done today, and we aren't telling until our Christmas celebrations with each family. So, we aren't making this public until Sunday night. Keep your eyes out for a blog on telling our family!

And yes, Baby Boy has a name! But, we won't be telling until he is born...so he will just be Baby Boy until then. Sorry to make you all wait!
