If the Doc Says So and I Have a Name

Daddy called Mommy this morning and asked if she wanted him to go to the doctor's appointment with her. She said that he didn't need to because they were not suppose to find out until next month if I am an "Alicia Lynne" or a "Zachary Edward".

Well, both my biological parents were at the appointment today. Mommy instantly felt bad that she told Daddy he didn't need to come. My biological father was looking forward to seeing Daddy. Bad Mommy! In any event, the doctor was trying to listen to my heartbeat today but I wasn't being very cooperative. So he took a sonogram of me instead. As soon as the doctor said he could tell the sex, Mommy immediately knew that she was in BIG trouble! I AM A BOY!!! Yippie!!!! Mommy asked if we could just keep that secret until the next appointment and then act real surprised as if they didn't know. Mommy looked at the sonogram picture and figures the doctor is a professional and if he says I am a boy, I must be.

My biological father decided to call my Daddy from outside. He cracked me up, he was acting like he was some deadbeat debtor calling my Daddy. Mommy was afraid that Daddy was going to say something inappropriate but he didn't. Mommy then made my biological father tell Daddy that I was a boy. He didn't want to but then decided to go ahead and tell my Daddy that he was getting a son. Daddy thought he was joking at first. Afterall, my silly Mommy assured him that they wouldn't find out until August whether I was a boy or a girl. Daddy eventually came to realize that it was not joke. He is real excited about having me as a son (I don't blame him either, I am pretty amazing!)

Mommy came racing home to show Daddy the sonogram. He can't see how they could tell either but trusts that the doctor knows what he is saying. My cousin Jesse has been at my house for the summer. He thinks it is cool that I am a boy. He told my Mommy that he was going to teach me how to be a tough guy. I think Mommy and Daddy have other plans but aren't too worried about Jesse teaching me anything because he would only teach me cool guy sport stuff.

I officially have a name...Zachary Edward. My uncle Lenny loves initials, so he is already referring to me as "ZEV" (all of my initials). Auntie Lynne owes Mommy lunch because Mommy was right, I am a BOY! Hurray for boys!

Next appointment is August 3.
