It's a . . .

Well, we went to have our ultrasound this morning. Bob and both girls were in the room with me. Celie was very concerned that I was o.k. She doesn't particularly like Doctors right now, understandably so, but we reassured her that everything was just fine.

The sonographer, I think that is what they are called, was very nice. She started taking measurements of various body parts. Both Bob and I were trying to see if we could see any "parts" but it was difficult from the various positions she was taking images from. She asked if we wanted to know what we were having if she had the opportunity to see. We both said, "Yes!" in unison.

As she was taking some other images, we saw Baby O's heart beating, feet moving around, legs moving around, etc. It was really cool. Then both and I thought we saw something. We didn't tell each other until later, but we both thought at the same time - Ah, there it is, a girl, I think and then the sonographer said, "Well, I think you are going to have to get your paint brushes ready." That seemed like eternity for me to process. Bob admitted later that it did for him as well. Paint Brushes ready meant that we would have to paint over the fairies in the nursery, which meant that it wasn't a girl, which meant it was a BOY!!" Then she said, "Yep, a Boy, for sure," and with that she positioned the ultrasound and YUP, there was no doubt that it was a boy.

So, Jakub Alan Ostroski is doing very well. His measurements are great and everything looks fabulous. YEAH!!

Now, I can sell all of the pink clothes in our upcoming garage sale and figure out what theme to do in his room. I am thinking either Cowboys or sports. Just not sure which though.

Celie & Anna & I made a chocolate cake to celebrate. I had already planned that this afternoon we were going to make a cake to celebrate the boy or girl addition to our family. We are also going to go out to dinner to celebrate when Bob gets home from work.

Honestly, we are happy it is a boy, but we are most blessed that the baby whether it had been a boy or girl is healthy. That is all we have ever wanted. Thank goodness.
