It's a Boy!

We went back to see Dr. Sweeny on Thursday. We took Pacey with us and she was very excited to see the baby on the "TV". I am sure she expected to be able to actually see the baby, not just the black and white images of the ultrasound. Once we pointed out the head she would say, "look, see that circle, that's the head!" The technician poked and prodded around and had me lay on my side again in hopes of getting a look in between the baby's legs. She was about to give up when she said "Oh, yep, its a boy!" She said it so quietly that I wasn't sure Eric even heard her but he had. He told Pacey and she instantly got sad and said that she wanted it to be a girl. When Dr. Sweeny came in he looked at the heart and said that everything looked great. No signs of any diabetic complications. He said that every time we come back, he will get an even better look at the heart but that he has no reason to suspect anything to be wrong. YAY!!! Sweeny asked me if we knew what we were having, I told him that the tech thought it was a boy and reminded him of his 80% certainty before, then he said "well, now it's 100." He looked at Pacey and said "It's a boy!" Again, her shoulders dropped and she was sad, he just laughed... She got over it by the time we got to Mom and Dad's - she ran out back and told them "Mommy's going to have a boy!"

We went last night to Babies-R-Us and created a registry. It was so much fun, it made everything seem so real... now we just need to come up with a name... any ideas?

Hi Carrie,

Just a thought about a name, once before you mentioned that you might like to keep with the P, so how about Payton (spelling).

Pacey may hang her head now, but she will love her new brother.

Love,
Pat
