After 3 dd's, were finally getting our BOY. I cried so hard when the tech said BOY and said she was positive. I did have a total of 4 ultrasounds all at different places to make sure. After 3 girls I wanted to be sure.. So many ladies have helped me here and I love them.. I owe this all to TAMARA and MAUREEN AND THE LADIES THAT SHARED WHAT THEY DID, GAVE ME ADVICE AND WAS JUST SUPPORTIVE WHEN I NEEDED IT. XOXO
