Confirmation!

We got confirmation! Our baby is most definitely a baby boy. So Cayden James Reed will take on the world sometime around June 13th and we can’t wait. I would have been shocked if the baby’s gender was a girl, just because of what we were told at our last ultrasound.


I had been anxiously awaiting this appointment for weeks. I wanted to get gender confirmed and I wanted to make sure Cayden was big and healthy. Well, they were 45 minutes late in seeing us. I know this happens at doctor’s appointments; it’s to be expected. Nevertheless I was completely grumpy.

My appointment was for 3:15 the last appointment in the day. For some reason, yesterday, there was another lady who was scheduled *after* me. The waiting didn’t make me grumpy. It was the possibility of getting short-changed that made me grumpy. I especially didn’t want them to have to reschedule.

Luckily, they didn’t have to reschedule, but I did feel short-changed in the appointment. During this appointment they were supposed to take an in-depth look at *everything*. But I felt like it was more of a glance over, rather than an in-depth look. I didn’t even like the pictures we walked away with.

Oh well, I have another appointment in two weeks. So I am sure I will be able to get better ultrasound pics then. Plus, we were told that everything looks good and there is no need to worry about anything. The ultrasound is recorded, we get a DVD copy and an electronic one goes to the doctor. So if anything is out of the ordinary they will call.

Cayden is 8 inches and weighs half a pound. I can’t believe how much weight he still has to put on…at least 5 and ½ pounds. No wonder most women balloon around 5 months. The ultrasound tech said he is measuring big, so they may move my due date up. Luckily, they aren’t having to move it up because of me. My cervix was long and closed—exactly as it should be. Thank goodness.
