That's right! We're having a baby girl!!
Legs spread wide, Dr. Sellers found her little rosebud almost instantly during our 20-week ultrasound. I couldn't be more amazed. Here I was, alone at the doctor's office, staring at something that truly seemed foreign to me. A mother of boys in my early life, now it seemed like a complete 180 to believe that I would have a to trek into the unfamiliar territory of raising a girl. I couldn't be more excited.
Because Jeff couldn't join me, I decided to surprise him. I went to ToysRUs/BabiesRUs and found some of baby items: A pink blanket, a pink turtle, a pink outfit, everything screamed GIRL!
I drove home, wrapped the pink items in a tan gift bag with white tissue paper, and set it on his the side table where he usually threw his keys after coming into the house. Patiently waiting, I eagerly ran to the window every time I heard a car. Then, at 5:30 p.m. on the dot, his Toyota Highlander pulled into the driveway. I stationed myself in the kitchen, and waited to hear his reaction.
Three steps in the door, he saw the present and dropped his keys on the floor. He knew exactly what it was.
"Can I open it, Babe?"
"Please do!"
He tore into that gift like it was Christmas. Then, he stopped. Pink turtle in hand, he let out a crazy laugh.
Needless to say, we're excited.
