We went in for our big ultrasound and when we arrived we were told that there was not an tech there that day and we would have to be rescheduled. I of course immediately started to cry, because I was dying to find out if the baby was first of all healthy, but what was swimming around in there! One of my amazing doctors was super nice and said he would hook up the machine and see if we could get a sneak peak of the baby. It was such a relief! The baby looked wonderful and heartbeat was about 150 (a little lower than Maddie’s always was). From the moment I found out I was pregnant I felt boy all the way. Different sickness…only sick at night with this baby, whereas Maddie was ALL DAY for the first few months. Also, I had some major cravings for salty food, especially fried pickles at the beginning (if I see a fried pickle now I will probably barf because I made so many of them for a week straight). I just felt different.
When the doctor went towards the bottom of the baby I immediately saw boy parts. Definitely not a girl. The doctor didn’t say anything at first, because he wanted to be sure. It was funny though, because Gabe said “oh I think I know what it is”. He definitely had on his gender goggles, because he later told me that he thought it was a girl! It was confirmed by the doctor that we are having a little boy. I was so excited to hear those words!
We decided to have a little impromptu get together at our house with a few friends and family to tell them the exciting news.
We went back the following week for a more in depth ultrasound and it was confirmed again that it was a HEALTHY LITTLE BOY! We are thrilled!!! And the little man will be called….
William Steven McCoy
William is Gabe’s dad’s name and Steven is my dad’s name. Although baby William will not meet his grandfathers on this earth, he will know them and carry both of their names for his entire life. How incredible is that? I know his Grandpa and Poppy are beaming from ear to ear from Heaven.
