The other night I had a dream about Daniel and my baby. I say this in that manner because the baby we had was a baby GIRL! I think I had the dream because Daniel had just been talking to me that day about how excited he was to have a little boy and how blessed he felt being granted a son to carry on the family name. That night I fell asleep and the baby I was holding was a little girl. She had his round shaped face and was a sweet little thing, but I just kept wondering...how could this be? I saw the ultrasound at 18 weeks and I dont understand how there appeared to be something there to prove to us a boy...and now the baby comes out and is a girl?! How does that happen?
Tonight I was online and I came across fetal images and comparisons of what the fetal sex is. There was pretty much no difference between the boy and girl at about 9 weeks, but as the fetus progressed the distinctions became more noticeable....still it kind of freaked me out. We did get the ultrasound at 18 weeks which has a pretty good distinction and I just shouldn't worry because the ultrasound office that we went do was an office for obstetrics. So they pretty much, strictly, just do ultrasounds on pregnant women. The lady we had told us that the baby was definitely a boy because Daniel was very persistent...are you sure, are you sure?! So that was her answer. She even pointed out to him why she was telling us it was a boy so we could see for ourselves.
Now that we finally have the insurance thing panned out and I am now covered I think this is one of the Devil's schemes to try to make me worry about something else. To make me worry that we aren't ready...having all boy stuff and having the name Landon up in his room and in his scrapbook that I've already started for him.
Wednesday, we have one of our last Doctor appointments. The Doctor is planning on giving us an ultrasound to check up on the baby and the size he has grown to, to get a good idea of things. This will be really great to see our little boy again and make sure he is ready to go for when he decides he wants to meet Daniel and I.
