There were plenty of large surprises with the ultrasound, starting with being required to gulp down 32-ounces of water an hour before the appointment - and being expected to retain a full bladder. That. Was painful.
Another surprise was that kiddo is actually measuring almost a full month ahead than we previously thought! Our tech thought perhaps we're three weeks ahead, but I'll be sure to talk with my OB to see where she may think I'm at. The tech thought maybe a new due date for May 13th could be possible. I cannot express enough how much that would mean to me, for kiddo to be born on or around Mother's Day. My first Mother's Day.
Kiddo was all curled up, grabbing a little foot with little fingers over kiddo's head! It was the cutest thing.
So that was all good and exciting, but lookee here...
IT'S A BOY!
I am so unbelievably happy! Just knowing who this little boy is now and being able to call him Henry - Henry Allen Heistand. I've been going nuts buying boy clothes ever since Saturday. Currently, I'm sitting at the Kent State campus in Salem, checking it out, thinking toward the future... Things are going mighty, mighty fine with Jared. More than fine. I have never been so happy and relaxed and excited about where I (and Henry!) are headed. They have an Early Child Education program here. And I love this town. We're still discussing the deets, but regardless of how fast it's gone, Jared and I know what we want for ourselves and for our children, having dealt with the unnecessary silliness in each of our pasts.
Without giving anything away, our future is looking very bright and I don't think I could find a more responsible, gracious, and loving man with a family just as gorgeous and loving. (I see you, Barbara and TiAera!)
Life is so very good.
