A Special Day

Today I had an ultrasound on the agenda. Jonathan, Mom, and Annissa have all gotten to see our sweet baby and hear its heartbeat, but dad hasn't been able to yet. Jonathan wasn't able to get off to go with me today, so Dad and I made an afternoon of it. We started off with lunch at Mrs. Goodstuff's Cafe. Jonathan and I live 2 streets over from Mrs. Goodstuff's when it first opened. Since then then they have reopened down the road from St. Mary's. They have a daily hot lunch special, soups, sandwiches, and the best homeade desserts you have ever put in your mouth!
After lunch we headed up the hill to Dr. Fields' office. This would now be my 2nd ultrasound at my OB, and for the 2nd time my sweet little baby boy would not "show" himself. He was laying indian style as tightly as he could be. I think the hot lunch put him to sleep. He moved ALL morning and I drank caffine with my lunch, but he was fast asleep! As soon as we got in the car he started kicking again. I called Jonathan to let him know how his little man had behaved and joked that he was stubborn like his daddy, to which he "replyed he moves around when I'm there." Hopfully next time at a little earlier appointment and his daddy right beside us he will "put on a show" and the ultrasound tech will officially say it's a boy.
Although my OB still isn't 100% the sex. We are very sure from the 17 week ultrasound at mom's office that it is a boy. I had to call mom again today after my appointment, so she could reassure me IT IS A BOY!
Even though today wasn't a total success, it was a very special day. It was very sweet to get to see dad get to hear the heartbeat for the first time, to see Jon David's sweet little self, and a great afternoon with my dad.
