Post Gender Check Feelings

Well, I believe I've spent the last few weeks in enough thought about our gender appointment to be able to put them into words.

You may've picked up on the fact that I wasn't too happy with the service at the doctor's office on that particular day from previous posts. This is how it went down:

We walked into the office so excited for our visit. We had to pay a bill at the beginning which is never very pleasant, but nothing was going to deter me from being in a good mood. As we got ready to see the doctor, I realized that my doctor wasn't on call that day like they told me he would be when they made the appointment. I still have no idea why.

To make a seemingly long, complaining blogpost short, I wasn't very happy with the service we recieved. The Doctor and Nurse kept teasing me going back and forth on what it was. I'd been waiting 20 weeks for the news and now was NOT the time to keep me waiting more.

Nevertheless, we found out we will be having a little boy. It came as a suprise at first becuase just about everyone thought we'd have a girl, including us. We had so many beautiful little girl's names picked out, but I guess we'll just have to save them for another time.

I should've been able to guess that. Ian and I both come from families with 3 boys before any girls. My grandparents both had more boys than girls, and so do Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen. I told Ian that I've decided Sorensen's just don't know how to make girls. Essentially, I'm banking on a couple more boys before I get to use those beautiful names I've come up with.

After it sunk in that we're having a boy, I'm convinced that it's just right for our family. I always loevd having older brothers to look up to and to take care of me, and I'm sure if our son is anything like Ian, our other children will be really glad they have such a good example and friend.

Another positive, is boys are generally cheaper. Considering our situation, that's probably a really good thing. I certainly don't have as much of an urge to buy him all sorts of clothes and things that he probably doesn't need anyway.

Ian is really excited to be able to take him to the park that we live by and play all sorts of games with him. I can't say I feel much different.

All in all, our family has been really blessed and we're sure that the way everything is working out is just the way it should.
