GIRL!!!!!!!
Introducing Claire (middle name still undecided) Byers! We are so excited! It was so unreal to actually see her there moving on the screen. She was putting her hands up by her face in the "Home Alone" pose and it was just amazing. Having not been to the doctor or having an ultrasound until this point it wasn't really feeling real to us. I mean the morning sickness was definitely real but since that has stopped we wondered what was going on in there. Technology is just amazing. We were able to see her kidneys, bladder, all chambers of the heart, spine, and her skeleton like head. Chris was just in a happy state of shock.
For some reason in my mind I kept thinking before the appointment that I was supposed to drink 64 ounces of water. That is approximately 4 bottles of water starting the hour before the appointment. Well, as I was getting near the bottom of the third bottle I was thinking that I was going to start drowning if I really had to drink all four. I checked my notes and to my relief I only needed 32 ounces!! That could have been fun.
After the appointment we starting calling all of our friends and family. My favorite reaction was my dad's. He said "But Byers' don't have girls!" LOL! We were kinda thinking along those lines too. For those of you who don't know, Chris' father has 8 children. Of these there is one girl.
So to celebrate we went over to the hospital and signed Chris up for as many extra shifts as we possibly could for over the holidays. Lol. Then for the fun part we went out to dinner with our great friends Angie and Justin who were very excited for us as well. The evening was topped off with delicious brownies with ice cream and a little Mario Kart Wii for the guys.
It was one of the best days of my life.
