it's official

The newest edition to our family will be a little boy!!!
Payton is quite excited, and Jenna is getting used to the idea. She had her heart set on a little sister, but I explained to her that this meant that she got to be the only princess, and that idea is growing on her. Both Jenna and Payton love to give my growing belly hugs, and they pray for the baby to grow big and strong in their prayers at night. We are really excited, and May is actually starting to seem a little bit closer, not a lot, but a little!

Opinions

So, for those of you who do not know what I do for a profession, I am a NICU or (neonatal intensive care) nurse. At the moment I work in a level 2 unit that is joined on the same floor as Labor and Delivery. I attend high risk deliveries and take care of sick infants. Every day I walk by an utlra sound machine, at least 500 times I swear. The other day a few nurses and myself took a peek at the baby. she or he was very cute. the baby was sucking it's thumb, kicking it's legs and waving to me on the screen. I couldn't tell what it was, the legs were crossed. Even if the legs weren't crossed I am not trained in ultrasound readings, and I probably couldn't tell what it was unless the legs were obviously spread and it was flaunting a boy part.

Here is the problem. Aaron was really ticked off at me for looking at the baby without him, and "attempting" to see what the little cutie was. SO, I'm asking would you have looked? I honestly didn't think I would have been able to tell. I mean come on it costs nothing for me to plug this machine in and look. In my opinion who wouldn't have looked? I walk by this machine all day long, and my shifts are 12 hrs long, and it has been incredibly slow at work.

Let me know would you have peeked, or am I the stinker in all of this.
