ITS A BOY!

YES!! YES!! YES!! YIIIIEEEAAAHHH!!!! Oh sorry do I sound excited? Well hell I AM!!! Yes this is Beto and I am on cloud 9!!! Its a boy!! Not that I have anything against girls I really like them, I grew up in a household of all girls, all of my cousins growing up were all girls, and I currently live in a household of three females and me. So enough is enough, I need a little company in the male department. So I am ecstatic over the news. I woke up early on Thursday morning we were on our way to the doctor's to have the week 20 ultrasound. We had decided that we were going to find out the sex of the fetus, I had butterflies on the way there. I maintained my composure and controlled my emotions all the way into the ultrasound room. And for those of you that know me that's not easy for me. The lady started digging around taking a bunch of pics and all that nonsense that they always do. All the time I could barely breath in anticipation of the news. After a few minutes of looking around at a bunch of other baby limbs the question finally came..."Do you want to know the sex? I was standing right behind the lady breathing hard on the back of her neck eyes glued to the screen. When she dropped the question I felt I was following the images pretty well and I was looking at a picture of my baby's backside, leg on each side and I could see it!! Yes I believed I was looking at the package dangling on the right side. An overwhelming emotion took over me I felt it from head to toe, I brought my hands to my mouth and creeped closer to the screen for I was still not 100% sure that I was looking at what I thought I was looking at. Then the lady proceeded to say this is a leg and that's the other leg......As soon as she said that I knew!! I clinched my hands over my mouth to prevent the emotional outburst that I was dying to release, my eyes became full with tears as she blurted out the words I was hoping to hear....."And that's a penis!!" I was overwhelmed with emotion and it took every ounce of strength for me to hold back from having an extreme emotional outburst. I looked over at Jen who didn't have quite the vantage position that I had. Our eyes met and it was bliss! It's a boy and Maximus was the first thing that went through my head. I am an emotional and demonstrative person, but this was a feeling that I have never felt before. I wanted to run, jump do push ups, climb to the top of a mountain and scream at the top of my lungs!! But no here I was stuck in this tiny, sterile, cricket sounding closet and all I could do was rejoyce within myself. Shortly after the doctor came in and she started with the same little pinche machine belly roller, digging around looking at stuff. All the while I am thinking, enough with that crap let me out of here!! So finally we get to leave and once we stepped out of the treatment area into the waiting room I could hold back no more. There was a nice little couple sitting there patiently waiting their turn. They looked at us walking out I looked at them and said in a loud and proud piercing voice "It's a boy!!" 2 seconds after exiting the examination area it had begun, I'm having a son. We ran in to some other people in the parking lot and of course I had to share my news. I was off that day and had a tee time (golf) later that day. Usually that consumes me with excitement it is something I absolutely love to do, it didn't matter. I could think of nothing else but having a golfing, wrestling, bowling, baseball playing, football tossing, hooping, pool sharking, little buddy to hang out with for the rest of my life! I immediately got on my phone, took a pic of the sex-identifying ultrasound and began shooting it to all the folks that I could think of. And although I am a lot calmer today, I am still overwhelmed with joy with wha'ts ahead. It consumes my every thought and I truly understand the old cliche, "I cant wait." Jen went out and bought him a bunch of athletic Nike clothes and a baseball outfit and a tiny little baseball glove!! Yes his first glove!! Its the cutest thing I have ever seen. I immediately put it under the couch to break it in correctly. I also have his first tiny golf club. A real club not any of that dumb ass plastic crap. The sports room is coming soon!! Yaaaahooo one last time "ITS A BOY!!" And I couldn't be happier.
