Saturday night was the first time I actually felt I was having a baby. I woke up in the middle night having to pee so bad because it felt as if something was sitting and squeezing the crap out of my bladder. Hence, why I felt something was in there. I didn't even think I was going to make it to the bathroom - but fortunately did! I'm back to not feeling like I'm pregnant but the quickening will soon be here along with the BELLY.
Dave and I had our fourth doctor's appointment, and it was my third ultra sound. I had a hunch that we would be able to tell the sex today but kept telling people May 15 when our 3D sonogram is as I definitely know we'll be able to tell then. I was right! When we first got there, I got weighed (and have no idea what it was because it wasn't facing me but I think I might've gained a pound - yay!). Then the nurse practitioner had us wait in a room with no ultra sound machine. We walked in and I pondered whether or not we'd be able to find out. Before I could sit down, Dr. Sawyer summoned us to go into ultra sound room. YAY!!!!!!!
As soon as we got into the room he asked us if we wanted to find out the sex. ABSOLUTELY, sir! Before he lubed me up, he started to talk about things with us such as epiderals, pediatricians, etc. He answered questions before I could ask him. And he just chatted with us - told us stories about patients, about his own kids, etc. I never had a doctor in my life that spent that much time with me. It's usually, sit, write prescription, get out. I know this is a little different but even talking to other women, they said this isn't common. We are truly blessed to have him as a doctor.
Dr. Sawyer unbuttoned my pants and before we knew it...

I found out I was having a boy!
Well, it actually took a while because the baby was so fidgety. Every time Dr. Sawyer found something or wanted to show us the umbilical cord or the feet, the little guy would squarm. Finally, he positioned the thingy (what is that tool called?) in the perfect position and he spotted his little weenie. Dave recognized it right away and said, "it's a boy" before Dr. Sawyer could mutter a word. Dave was super excited. Also, our little boy (that's so fun to say) had his hands 'down there' right around his private parts. He's protecting them already.
It was so fun to call everyone and to hear everyone's reactions. My favorite is "Dave is going to get his little Ninja!". SO TRUE!
Crave This!
- None at this time
- Dave craved (or as he told me, he had a "pregnancy birthing urge" as he couldn't remember the word, craving - we laughed for about 5 minutes) hot dogs and kosher pickles.
Hubby Love
After reading stuff about the hospital:
Me - "You can have up to 3 care partners in the room with you."
- Dave: "Can we have Vince Vaughn"
I gave a weird look
- "You know, to provide comic relief!"
I think I'll have plenty of comic relief from Dave!
- On Facebook, Dave tagged me in a photo that read, 'Adriane, preparing paperwork for our babies delivery' – Our friend, Tara, responded to his caption, “Babies? Are you having more than one? I can’t wait to hear the details!'
-Me: Dave, it’s supposed to be baby’S not babIES
-Dave: “I’m not an English major.”
One night we were having some pillow talk as Dave was tucking me into bed (I go to bed way earlier than he does). We started talking about diapers and this was his idea:
- Dave: "I'm going to put a compressor in a diaper garbage thingy that shoots the diapers out of the house, over the neighbors' houses and into the cotton field behind our house. Poop no more!"
Tonight, we went to Target to get a catalog and to see some of the products Dave found online. After looking through the whole baby department, I got in line to buy some underwear while Dave went over to customer service to pick up the catalog. I got out of line and Dave still wasn't done. As I started walking toward Customer Service, Dave comes waltzing around the corner with a tote bag filled with stuff and the BIGGEST smile on his face. I'm so blessed to have a husband that is so excited to be a daddy. Love him!
