the big gender reveal!!

okay so i'm going out of order but better to get this all down so i can remember...we had our 20 week ultrasound august 30, 2010 at 10:00am. our perinatal nurse suzanna was so wonderful - she was awesome!! anyways, we heard our little baby's hearbeat, saw the little feet and hands and then she had us close our eyes when it was time to check the gender parts. we told her our plan and she was just as excited as we were! she placed the ultrasound picture in an envelope and sealed it...and we were off to enjoy the rest of the day!

scott and i went to lunch together and then headed off to baby gap. scott was in charge of picking out the little girl's outfit and i was in charge of the little boy's outfit's. it was fun to watch scott pick out little girl's outfit's. the super cute ladies at baby gap were also just as excited and other managers kept coming to join in on our fun. we handed them the sealed envelope {and our credit card} and told them that they would be the second people that knew what we were having. their mission {as soon as we left the store} was to open the envelope and wrap up the gender specific outfits for us and include the ultrasound picture in it. scott and i stepped outside and waited anxiously on the little bench. i was so excited i could hardly stand it!! finally, susie {one of the ladies} came out with the wrapped box with a huge smile. she wished us a great time tonight..and we were off!

dinner wasn't until 6:30pm so i desperately needed to find something to occupy my time. we went to the store to pick up the paint for the baby's room {regardless whether we were having a girl or boy we had the color picked out} and then we went home to pack for our hawaii trip the next day. it was FINALLY time to head over to scott's parents house...

it was sort of crazy at mom and dad wang's...we were trying to get mark on speaker phone and googoo {scott's aunt} too. we FINALLY got everyone connected and we were ready to open the box! everyone stood around us and at the first peak under the tissue paper...i saw that we were having a little BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! charlie was going to have a little brother...poor thing had no idea what was going on with all the cheers of excitement...after that it was a stream of texts and phone calls to our family and friends. needless to say, scott and i are happy beyond words. this was a forever-remember day...we are having a son!!
