Our Pumpkin is a............... gotta read to find out!

Oh what a day we've had in the Larson household! Chase was up bright and early wanting to know when we were going to see the baby, I think he was as eager as we were! This entire time he's been saying he wanted a sister, boys were bad, this baby would not be a boy, etc. His bestbud has twin baby brothers (also IVF) and we've been telling him that boys are great and it would fun to have a baby brother if this baby is a boy. He has wanted nothing to do with that! Well this morning he did a complete turn around and insisted this baby was a boy and he was getting a baby brother.... period. Phew! I've thought this baby was a girl, but let's face it, for some reason most ICSI babies are boys, that's just how it is!

So we get to the appointment w/all the grandparents, my brother, and niece in tow and finally make it back. The tech was awesome! She told us everything she was measuring, was patient, talked to us the whole time. Everything was going great, until she said, "IT'S A GIRL!" Chase lost it and cried for the next 5 minutes that he didn't want a sister and if it's a girl she'll have to sleep in the bathroom. It was hilarious and sad all at the same time. I was laughing and crying, it was perfect. We got him calmed down (of course that was only after the tech said it was a boy - it's not, she just said that) and after another 1o minutes or so of watching the baby and looking we were done.

I met with the doctor who said they saw everything they needed, all measurements were great, and that she was perfect. She also has both kidneys (DH was only born w/one)!!!!!!

I am so very thrilled, I wanted this baby to be a girl so bad because I know we are done w/IVF (my choice, five was more than enough for me). I don't think life could be any better right now! Now if I could just convince Chase that a little sister will be awesome.... any ideas on how we do that?????? Keep going down for pictures and video!!!

It's a GIRL!!!!!!
