It’s a Boy!!!
What an Awesome Day! The sweet nurse that was doing the ultrasound was very good to us. She took the normal measurements and information then asked the big Question. DO WE WANT TO KNOW THE SEX OF THE BABY??? Of course. Baby Erb was a tough cookie at first. He was turned around sleeping on his stomach with his legs crossed and up under him so it took a while. After shaking my belly for awhile and Scott’s voice, baby Erb woke up turned over and stretched his legs out…and there HE was. Scott was yelling very loudly while I just laughed at him. The nurses in the room were laughing at us.
The Erb name lives on! We are both so happy that baby Erb looked very healthy. The nurse said baby Erb was right on track at 10 ounces.
Where did we come up with name you ask? We have thought about the name for a while with multiple lists. Scott and I had our own “American Idol” of baby names until we narrowed it down to one girl and one boy. So the final name is Grayson Alexander Erb. My middle name is Gray which was my great grandmother’s name but I think we both saw the name Grayson and just loved it. We looked at hundreds of names and family names (what a tough job and the pressure of not giving your poor child a bad name or hurting family members) but kept coming back to Grayson. Even though I know Scott wanted to keep Flannigan and was practicing his Scottish/Irish accent we BOTH decided not to keep it.
I am feeling great and have no funny stories this week like killing the smoke detector with a hammer. I am in the process of reading every book I can get my hands on. Any suggestions please let me know! They say the baby ears are fully operational by now so it’s time for Scott to start singing to the baby! We have been playing music for him from classical to rock and so far he seems to like “come on ride the train”.
The extra room is cleaned out and painted a pretty bright green. It is starting to look like a nursery! We were even able to restore my old baby bed! Thank you Scott for staring it and Emmett for finishing it! I love it. It looks great and it’s in the nursery ready to go. Just add baby.
P.S. Pictures of our ultrasound. We hope to have the video next week.
