Ever since we knew I was pregnant we felt like it was a little boy. In Trent's family all the boys have had a girl first. We call it "The Anderson Tradition." So everyone would say it was a girl. However, it always felt weird to me when I would call our baby a girl.
A couple weeks ago I had my 20 week ultrasound. That day I had a conference for work up at BYU. I was there until noon and I told Trent to pick me up at exactly 12:00 p.m.. We could NOT be late! He picked me up and we headed to the doctor's office. We were early(ha), so we went and ate lunch. I texted both of our families to give us their final guesses. Most everyone on Trent's side guessed a girl. Most everyone on my side guessed a boy. Right before we went inside Trent and I went back and forth as to what our baby was! We went in, waited for a few short minutes and they called us back.
(Side note: My dance teacher when I was little did the ultrasound. Small world!)
She started from the head, and worked her way down examining everything. Trent had not seen our baby in this much detail yet. It was so cool to see how much it had progressed in just a short amount of time. The baby was moving all over. When she got down to the baby's bottom she asked to make sure we wanted to know what the baby was. As soon as it came up on the screen, Trent and I knew immediately that it was a boy. She pointed and said,"You see that, that is a little boy part." :) I started crying and Trent was grinning from ear to ear.
We met my parents up north after the ultrasound, and told them. Then we drove back home to go to Trent' parents house and tell them. On our drive, our phones were blown up with family asking us what our baby was. We told Trent's parents and when we finally told the rest of the family they were so surprised but excited!
We Broke the Anderson Tradition!!
We can't wait to meet out little boy!!!
