*Gerald I texting..and him telling me he thinks it's a girl*
Whew! It feels good to finally let the secret out! Holding something so huge in that you
would like to share with the world is not an easy thing. My last ultra sound on June 3rd,
I had found out the secret. I was one
day away from 14 weeks. This was
the ultrasound that I went with my moms.
My auntie had asked my moms to step out the room, that way she could get
a good look at the baby. Before
the ultra sound I had spoke with my auntie about setting something up to find
out the sex once Gerald was back in town.
I also told her if she seen anything, to not tell the moms or to let
them see. I just did not want
anyone knowing before my husband.
This is the reason my auntie had my moms leave the room; to make sure
they did not see the sex. I turned
my head away from the screen, for I did not want to know the sex without Gerald
with me. In like two minutes, I
heard my auntie say okay, and that she was done. At that moment, curiosity got the best of me. I started wondering if in-fact it was
boy. Gerald has always wanted his
first child to be a boy, and I prayed that I could give him that. Gerald would be back in California in a
couple of days, and his birthday was soon. I began to think how being able to give Gerald a son would
make a great birthday gift. I said
to my auntie, “Gerald would love a boy and his birthday is in two weeks. That would make a special gift. Is he going to have a happy
birthday?” My auntie shook her
head and said, “Yes he will!” In
my head, all I could think about is how I just knew it was what I wanted! I felt so overjoyed, but did not want
to spoil anything. I started to
not think about it anymore, for my moms were about to return back to the room.
I set up an ultrasound for Gerald’s pre-father’s day gift, to find out the sex of his future child. Gerald still had no clue that I knew, and I could not wait till we could both talk about it together. I told Gerald I had made plans, but he had no clue what. When we got into the car, I blindfolded him. I could not let him see where we were going to ruin the surprise. Almost an hour later, we arrived and I un-blindfolded him while telling him the surprise was to find out what our child would be. I had a gift for him as well, and told him to not open it until I said so. While walking into the hospital I asked Gerald was he nervous. He replied no, for he is already prepared for it to be a girl. My auntie turned the monitor on, and I finally seen my baby boy! His thing was easy to spot, but Gerald had not seen it yet. My auntie then flipped the angel, and then went back to the previous angle so Gerald could see. When she went back, she pointed at his penis. Gerald said, “Are you serious?” I replied, “Yaaaa..I hope it is not a girl with a penis lol!”
Gerald had the hugest smile on his face, and he could not
believe it. I felt extremely happy
to know that he was happy. I
grabbed his gift and told him to open it.
When he opened, he had a card that congratulated him on his little
boy. In the card I wrote how it is
sometimes hard to get someone a gift that they could get themselves. I finally am able to give him a gift
that only I can give him, with the help of God. I wanted a boy, because I knew that is what my love
wanted. It is an amazing feeling
to know I am able to give my husband such an amazing gift. Also in the box, were some baby shoes
that matched shoes Gerald had. On
top of the shoes was a heart that said..LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
Gerald loved his gifts. He could still not believe it! I planned out a successful pre-father’s
day gift. Boy..I’m good!
Saturday, June 30th
Today we celebrated Gerald’s 28th birthday at Santa Monica beach in Southern California with our family and friends. What made the celebration that much more special, is that Gerald and I planned to reveal the baby’s sex at the beach. I made shirts for the announcement and brought an ultra sound photo in an envelope to show our mom’s and the Godfather, right before the revealing. July 16th is my ultra sound date, which is set up with my doctor to find out the sex. I invited our parents to that appointment, so they had no clue that we already knew. Gerald took our moms, and Terrell for a walk to show them the photo. He had to remind them not to give anything away. When they returned, Gerald and I had them line up with their backs facing everyone. I went one by one giving them the shirt to put on and turn around with. Everyone loved the announcement and they are thrilled to meet baby Alexander!
