Today is the big day - we got to find out what we were having. I had a special surprise up my sleeve for Daddy. When we went to Germany, he really wanted this watch. I told him that we did not really have the money and he did not have to get a watch every time we went to Europe. The thing is, I took my mom back to show it to her, and he thought we bought it. So when we got back to the states and Father's Day came - he thought for sure he was getting that watch. Well it came and went with no watch. What Robert did not realize is that I had made arrangements for my Cousin's to pick up the watch and bring it with them in September when they came. I had recently gotten it from them and wrapped it up. I had a feeling we were going to have a boy - so I thought the timing was perfect.
We went in for the sonogram - we were both really excited. We saw the little munchkin and the doctor was assuring us everything looked great. Then she asked if we wanted to find out what we were having. Sure - why not. She moved the camera down and there it was - A BOY! I started to cry instantly. I was so excited. Part of us wanted a little girl for Alexandra to play with, but I was so happy for Robert to have a son too. He was just going to be perfect. Robert was in shock - he did not know what to say or do.
When we got back in the car it really started to sink in. He was getting emotional. I told him I wanted him to open his birthday present today instead of tomorrow. He said no but I said yes and pulled it out of the backseat. When he opened it he was totally shocked and happy. I told him, now you have something to pass down to your son. That was it - he started crying.
This is a day we will remember forever.
