Its a Boy Boy Boy!!!!

Don't know what to expect...never had any ultrasound done before but very very excited to know the gender of the baby so that I could start shoppingg....yeyyyy.....I was hoping it's going to be a girl -- just because girls' stuffs are cuter --- Paul wanted a boy because he believes that 1st child is better to be a boy. "Well, we'll see what happens," I said.

So Paul took half day off...I told him that he HAD to accompany me to this doctor appointment. So here we go, 1.30pm on the way to the doctor apointment. On the way there we just realized that I forgot to eat an ice-cream -- one of our friends told us to eat ice cream before an ultrasound so that the baby will keep moving (sugar high, I guess...hehehe) and we will be able to see the gender. Afraid to be late for the appointment, we quickly stopped at the nearby supermarket and ate the ice cream in the car on the way to the hospital.

We waited for 10 minutes then it was my time to have an ultrasound. The room was filled with 2 monitors and something look like a big computer with a lot of big and unfamiliar buttons. The nurse came and told me to lay down and she put warm gel on me and start the screening.... After a few minutes the magic words were out --- the nurse asked if we wanted to know the gender? We said "YES, definately!!!" Both Paul and I don't like surprises too much...we want to know so that we could prepare more based on the gender (you know, the names, clothes to buy, color of everything...). Then she said "Congratulations...IT'S A BOY...!!!" Paul was thrilled while I was thinking, "there goes my ribbons and cute pink dresses..." After I went home, I realized that I should be glad for whatever GOD has given to me --- in this case HE gave me a heatlhy and (I am very sure) handsome son to us ---- that is more important than anything in the world. OK, now we just need to find the perfect name to our perfect son.... :)
