well......it's a.....................

I can't believe I haven't posted yet about the gender of this baby! I am SUCH the bad grandmother blogger! Well, here's the story that I sent out by email.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I went today, after a 3 week waiting period, to a doctor's appointment with Jaiden, the mother of my grandchild. The families were represented well....her mother was there, I was there, my mother was there, and of course, Thomas was there. After a 25 minute wait and SEVERAL bets being made as to the sex of this child, the doctor appeared to do the sonogram. We all waited, patiently, NOT!!!!! while he quietly pointed out the head, the eyes, nose, mouth, why the eyes weren't open, oh there's a hand, look at the foot, I'm going to measure the head, click, click, this is the...., I'm looking to see bla bla bla..., next we look at the abdomen, to bla bla bla bla BLA!!!! I'm about ready to knock Thomas in the head because he CAN'T WAIT and I CAN'T STAND IT EITHER, frankly. On a swipe of the magic wand, I was CERTAIN of seeing ....something....having been through several myself, I can kinda see what the things are as they are pointed out, spine, belly, bladder, oh, there goes another foot, look its little hand... Thomas and I are about to take the magic wand away from the doctor and look WHERE WE WANT and SEE WHAT WE ALL CAME TO SEE! Finally, he sits back and says, well, your baby looks normal, then puts the magic wand back on her belly and points out a few more VERY UNNECESSARY items, turns and acts as though he is going to put the wand away. Thomas and I both lunged at him. Then he ever so kindly asked Jaiden did she want to know the sex of the baby? She said Yes, sir. And I could hold it in no longer, I, in my most politest manner I could muster at that given moment said well, why do you think we are all in here? Yes, we want to know! He turned and said, well, let's see.....and just as plain as day, there it was......Thomas Carter Holder is as proud of his >>>>>>as his father! He should be arriving sometime end of February. Stay close for further details. LP
