Me & The Ultrasound

I know I never tell about how my pregnancy is going with baby # 7. There really isn't so much to tell, YET. In the beginning, everything was typical: sick, tired, throwing up...You know, the fun stuff about being pregnant. I'm not always sick with each one, but with this one, I was VERY sick. At about 12 weeks, it all disappeared over night. REALLY. Now, I just wait, get check-ups once a month, and think of baby names. After having 6 little ones, I've gotten a little tired of some of the names I have bounced around for past pregnancies. I HAVE to think up some NEW ones that me AND hubby will agree on--difficult, but it can be done. The next part of my story originates with me getting my ultrasound the other day. This is the first one where they can tell you if it is a boy or girl. I ALWAYS HAVE to know. Why? Because sometimes I am nosey and have to know everything. And I rarely have patience. (I know, I sound like a good Christian woman in all my posts, right? But hey, we all fall short some of the time.....) So for me, I MUST know each time. At first, it's like an itch that I can ignore, but as the days pass and the pregnancy lengthens, I become obsessed with scratching that ITCH! So far, the only time I didn't find out the gender was for our second child and I only did that because my sweetie was adamant that we keep it a surprise! Although I admit, it was exhilerating in the delivery room when the gender was finally discovered. For our fourth child, I HAD to know and my husband did not. He wouldn't even talk to me about it, so I begged my doctor to order another ultrasound for me. So I took my stubborn self and found out. And I had to keep it to myself & tell no one. That was REALLY HARD. I asked my Sweetie everyday if he wanted to know. He would say Nope. (((ugh!!))) FINALLY, I wore him down and he said fine tell me. (((confetti))). Aren't I awful when it comes to this...I'm trying to help you understand me & ultrasounds. Then came Pearl & Lincoln (not twins) -found out.

Now this time around I wanted to challenge my needing-to-know-self and be surprised. I think it will be kind of fun too, in the delivery room. Something should be fun in there right?
I have been putting off making the ultrasound appointment because I didn't want the tech to ask me the hardest question I would ever be asked--Do you want to know the baby's gender? (((tunnel vision))).

Wanna know too?
Well, this is the first thing I bought when I found out.
Can you guess?

It's a GiRL!

(This was a loooong post , sorry)
