Verdict

So, I had my ultrasound this morning and I was SUPER nervous! I'm one of three girls in my family, I have two girls, and my sister is about to have her second girl. My youngest sister is not old enough to be married, let alone have children - so there are absolutely NO boys in my family! I had a lot of anxiety as I went in for the ultrasound. Imagine... my parents saying "we are the parents of 3 girls and the grandparents of 5 girls". Boys just have to marry into this family.

We woke up really early (6:30ish) to get us all over to the Naval Hospital on time. I am happy to say I was even a little early! I dropped the girls off at the Child Waiting Center they have there and headed off to "doom or surprise". The ultrasound tech took a few preliminary pictures and then noticed the baby was cooperating, so asked me to turn away so she could get the picture and label the parts for me. She told me that she was 100% certain of what the sex of the baby was.

I then sat in torture as I tried to figure out what I was having by how quick the heartbeat (145bpm) was and the few looks I got when she was taking pictures of the leg bones. My conclusion was that I would be having a boy this time around. She never told me what it was and gave me the revealing picture in an envelope for me to open when I was ready. I got to the car - and guess what?

IT'S A BOY!!! The picture left no room for doubt. His name will be Hunter Garrett. His parents are happy he is on his way and we are so excited to have a little missionary of our own to raise and love!
