It's a Boy!

So, I'm a little late on posting this, but you ALL already know what I'm having.

It's a boy!

The initial shock has died down, but for a minute I was sure I would have a heart attack. We entered the office of the lady whom would be performing our ultrasound. I eagerly laid down and allowed her to squeeze the cold jelly on my belly in preparation to see our little girl. The baby was sleeping, of course. The spicy food, sugar and belly poking did nothing for keeping him awake. With permissions, the technician jabbed my sides in hopes to shake him awake. It was funny because we could see him swaying back and forth and not budging. Jerk. I threatened to ground him upon his arrival and he finally woke up. "I've got it!" OMG, let's see that vagina. "It's a boy, 100%" Died. I died of shock right then and there, came back to life so I could throw my hands on my face and scream, "boy?!"

All my instincts were wrong and everyone else was wrong as well. I just smiled and laughed in disbelief yet excitement to finally know. She told me that he looks great and has a really strong heartbeat (which we also got to hear). I left that office a new woman. Dreams of dresses, bows and a Daddy's girl were shattered, but visions of a dirt covered Momma's boy begging for his first guitar (hopefully) came to mind. He was also wearing a bow tie and cardigan in this vision. As promised, I called Julia as soon as we left and she didn't have words; she was just as shocked as me. Then Erik and I told Rick that he's getting the nephew he wanted, and of course, he was so happy. I called my family and none of them were surprised. My mom had an initial instinct that I was having a boy when I told her, and my dad insisted I was having a boy and he would call him Bruce... even though our son will be named Trevor. (Bruce Lee Peterson, get it *eye roll*) 

I awoke the next morning with so much excitement about our baby boy. Erik is even more excited than I expected and can't wait to have a little man. Erik and I like to greet each other with a kiss and a "we're having a boy" now because we are just so amazed and excited.

Trevor, you are NOT what I expected, and I am thrilled about that. You surprised Mommy already, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store. I love you so much already & I can't wait to have that love grow when I'm holding you in my arms or watching you in Daddy's. See you in January, kid. Please, let's not come any later, January 23 is perfect.
