I am so thankful this work week has gone by quickly for many reasons. First, it is the first week back from winter break, and you never know what kind of kiddos in your classroom you will get coming back! Second, and most importantly, it made my count down to our doctor's appoinment creep closer and closer! Thursday next week Anthony and I will be going to our 20 week ultrasound appointment, where we have chosen to find out what we are having! I admire the people who can wait and not find out, but I am not one of those people. I am a planner, I want to know and plan as much as I can before our little miracle baby arrives!
We both feel it is less exciting and less of a bonding experience if we find out at the ultrasound, so we will be having the doctor write it down. This way we can read it together in a more private setting where we can both let our emotions take over, because if you know us well enough, you know neither of us like to get emotional in front of people, especially Anthony (except on our wedding day... an image I will savor forever!) :)
Do not get your hopes up, however, to see us posting the results Thursday night. I promised myself that if we couldn't wait to find out then we would at least have a family announcement get together so that Anthony can have his moment to be the proud Daddy and announce what we are having to everyone. This will not be happening for another 10 days after we find out! Talk about torture! Most of my wonderful family members are lucky enough to go Arizona for the National Championship game... Go Ducks! But some of them (don't worry mom and dad I won't mention who) ;) will be using this time to extend some vacation time. SO as soon as they get off the plane they will be heading to our house, because I won't be able to hold it in one more second!
Since we will have time to process our news before sharing, we will be able to think, sleep, and pray about our name choice. SO hopefully by the time we do actually post what we are having we will be able to share a name as well! No matter what, we are so excited to see what God has in store for us! I am just hoping next week will go by just as fast as this week!!
So cute! I love that you are having the doctor write down the sex on paper for you. Seems like a much more intimate way of finding out about your child. Congrats again and again :)
