Our ultrasound run around!

Soo we went to the doctor on Thursday, the 13th to find out what our little one is. It didn't go the way we had hoped. I wasn't happy from the very beginning of the ultrasound bc the tech kept the screen turned for 20 minutes while measuring, and I couldn't see ANYTHING. Then she finally tells us that she's been looking while measuring and can't determine a sex. So she finally turns the screen my way for no more than 2 minutes to let me look, and that was all I got to see. It was not okay with me. I almost started crying. Because us mothers all know how exciting it is to hear the heart beat and especially see the baby!! I left very unsatisfied.



Our creative way of telling friends and family via text what we were having :)



SO the next day I called this place I found online and called the doctor to see who they would recommend  here in Murfreesboro, but they gave me the number to the place I found online in Nashville. I called right away and he fit us in the next day, Saturday, at 2:30 pm. Colby stayed after work on friday so he could get off early on Saturday. Come saturday, I stopped by the gas station and got a Mountain Dew and Hershey's bar to make the baby hyper because that's what I was told to do. Then I met Colby at his work and off we went to the imaging center with Lanie in the back too :) By the time we got to the place, I was already hyper so I knew baby had to be too or either in a diabetic coma from all the sugar neither of us were used to. I struggled to eat the hershey's bar, I even gave half to Lanie and chugged the Mtn Dew because I hate cokes, and definitely hate Mtn Dew. But I did what I had to do because it WORKED!!

The SECOND that he stuck the sonogram instrument to my stomach, all you could see was his little weenis parts! hahah...I insteatly said "OMG is it a boy?!?" and the guy said, "yep, 100% boy..." Colby even made a joking comment that Kellan was ready to cooperate as long as I didn't drink anymore mountain dew. So we found out in literally in 1 second what the baby was. Colby felt like it was a girl for some reason, but I always knew deep down it was a boy. I thought I wanted a girl, but when the tech "guessed" that thursday that it was a girl, I realized how much I wanted it to be a boy instead. The whole experience at this place was AMAZING. It's not a doctor's office, so it was laid back. It is family owned by a man and his wife just to do ultrasounds for people who want to see their baby whenever they want. We paid for the 2d ultrasound, but we ended up staying in the 3d mode for the majority of the time because Kellan was cooperting so well. We got a DVD with the ultrasound on it, and 6 pictures. We will definitely be going back to this place around 33-34 weeks just to see Kellan again on 3d/4d. It was ONLY $75, and well worth every cent.

OMG my windown just closed out and I thought I lost every bit of thing I just said, whewww.. close one.

Anyways, we went shopping last night and got a few outfits for him, but we aren't going crazy just yet until we have the baby showers and will buy what we need after we get things. Here are some pictures from the ultrasound...
