doc appointment

We started off Christmas Eve with an appointment with the OBGYN. At a regular appointment they check your blood pressure, weight and hear the babies heartbeat. My blood pressure was great and I only gained one pound. The babies heartbeat was nice and strong too!
The doctor asked if there was anything else she could do for us.. So, I asked if she could sneak us into the ultrasound room to find out the gender. I told her it would be a great Christmas gift for our family!
AND......

WE FOUND OUT IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Look at the steam on the apple! I had a hunch it was a boy. I have had a completely different pregnancy this time. When the ultrasound tech froze the screen I yelled out, "that's a penis." The tears started rolling down and Clay and I both looked at each other and smiled. Vera had no clue what was going on but Clay hugged her and said, "you will always be my little girl!". After the appointment we headed straight to the mall for a baby boy outfit!
We can't wait to meet Charles David Duncan!

Yeah!!!! I just voted today that you were having a boy. Your pregnancy was sounding very similar to when I was pregnant with Connor. Congrats!!! Boys are so much fun...not as cute to dress though. What a great Christmas gift!
