Flashback: September

September was such an exciting month!

Steve and I celebrated 3 years of marriage and we found out the gender of our baby!

And lucky for us, we got to do both those things on the same day!  It was pretty awesome.

On September 16th we drove down to my doctor's appointment and finally got a good look at our baby!  Even though we'd had an ultrasound every time we went, the ultrasound was never very clear.  I felt like Rachel from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I could never see the baby very well.

The baby cooperated pretty well and we got a good shot of the little bitty bum and legs.

Prior to this visit, I was convinced we were having a girl.  Steve was too.

Looking at the screen I would think, "I think I just saw a little something..." and then he'd move.

After a few minutes the doctor said, "I'm about 90% sure it's a boy.  The only thing keeping me from saying I'm 100% sure is the fact that we didn't get a longer glance.  He just wiggled so much.

Steve and I left feeling a little dazed.  I so strongly felt like this baby was a girl that I had him convinced it was a girl too. haha.

We're absolutely thrilled it's a boy!  I honestly didn't care either way.  I want both eventually, I didn't care what order they came in.

We were just shocked. 

We didn't tell our coworkers right away.  We wanted to wait to tell our families first.

Originally we were going to do a little gender reveal photo shoot, print the pictures, and mail them to our family... but after several mini fits thrown by family members, we decided we'd text them the picture.  Here's the picture:

For our anniversary we usually go somewhere nice to eat for dinner.

Since we have Penny, we didn't want to go to work, then the ultrasound, and then out to dinner and leave her in the crate all day long so instead, we left work about an hour earlier than needed and went to the cheesecake factory before our ultrasound!  It was delicious!  September 16th was a pretty good day!
