We had our anatomy scan on Friday. Todd and I decided to take Aubrey with us because we thought she'd like to see the baby. It all went down hill as soon as we left the waiting room. She wanted to stay in the room with the blocks and threw a lovely fit when we wouldn't let her. After we walk in the ultrasound room so looks at the screen and said "I want to watch Shrek." We had to explain this was not a movie tv and we were going to see the baby. She spent the rest of the ultrasound climbing on and off the chair and walking to the door trying to open it so she could go back to the blocks. At one point I asked her to look at the tv and see the baby's face and she said "It is wearing sunglasses" because all you could see were the dark eye sockets. I was kind of sad she had no interest in seeing the baby, but the anticipation of finding out the gender beat my frustration with Aubrey. After she checked out the face, she went to scan the other half of the body and as soon as she found the genital area I knew what was coming. When she said "BOY" Todd got so excited. I was so surprised because I had convinced myself the baby was a girl. Nothing really seems different than my pregnancy with Aubrey so I just figured it was a girl. Plus, I made myself become ok with the fact we could have only girls in the family and it was ok. However, I am glad I was wrong because I really did want a boy and I am so excited. I feel like our little family will be complete once he's here and it makes me so happy that Todd will have his little boy.
So, back to the scan. The tech looked at every organ and body part she could and labeled them all. It felt like she took her time and we weren't rushed and I enjoyed every minute of it. At the end, she was trying to get a profile shot of him and had a hard time getting him to turn around. I told her that was usual for our babies because Aubrey was mostly uncooperative at all of her ultrasounds. She finally got the profile shot and called it a day. She printed out a bunch of pictures for us and I was excited to see them. She gave us several angles of the "boy" shot so there is no denying what parts he has. I was still in shock when I saw the pictures and looked at them many times to make sure the results didn't change. I still haven't gotten used to saying "he" and "his." Those are new words to me after being wrapped up in the girly world the past 3 years. I can't wait to meet him and see what this boy world is all about.
So, without further adieu, here is little Mason James:
The somewhat elusive profile shot.
Todd said he was flexing his muscles at us in this picture.
One of the "money" shot pictures. We will pay his therapy bills later when he is upset about me showing his man bits on the internet.
