New York post have been my mental block, so I am officially saying, sorry to all those who were actually reading my blog, and hoping I would finish posting about it, but feel free to emai lme and I will tell you all about it if you want.
That being said, I will try to make some new posts.
The first thing I said to Daniel when he woke up this morning was, “Today is baby day!” He just chuckled. Surprisingly the day did not seem to drag on even though in a matter of hours we were going to find out if it was a boy or a girl.
Our ultrasound appointment was at 3:45p.m. We sat there and waited as other patients were called in. While waiting Daniel made the comment, “If it’s a boy we will know it because it is a Roop.”
Every time the door opened we got excited only to find out it was someone else’s turn. Finally my name was called after waiting 45 minutes. Side note: I peed twice while waiting and right before we went in I had to pee again. This baby likes to push on my bladder.
We went in and waited for the technician to put our information in the computer. They had just started using a new system. She then said it was time to see how this baby is doing.
There Baby Roop was on the tv screen. Baby Roop looked like he had grown so much since our last ultrasound. The technician said, “There’s the baby’s heart pumping.” “He?!” I thought she had said he. “THE BABY’s heart is beating. We will find out in a just a few minutes what the sex is but first I got check to make sure everything is alright from head to toe.”
It was so awesome to see all the different parts of Baby Roop. We saw the heart, brain, spinal cord, bladder, and embirical (sp?) cord. Finally she got to the bottom half. “Oh well we don’t have to guess what it is. The baby is letting us know. Do you want to know?” Of course we did. “It’s a boy. See he showing off his penis.” I guess Daniel was right. Roop boys do show there stuff.
I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited because I wanted a boy first. It was weird because for the longest time I thought it was going to be a girl. But this past weekend I had a dream that we were at the doctor’s finding out and the doctor told us it was a boy. Then just last night I had a dream that Kye Lynn was having puppies and one of them came out blue. In my dream I wanted to keep the blue puppy and not give it away. Hmmm….Strange but funny.
It took a while to get a picture of the face. He kept turning his head. Finally he turned, looked right at us, and even opened his mouth. As if to say… Okay here’s my face now will you let me go back to relaxing.
And so the results are in—Baby Roop is a boy. Brendan Casey Roop has made his debut to us and all our wonderful friends and family.
