Wednesday...That's all I can say

Wednesday was an amazing day. We got some stuff done, and we got some news. But Wednesday was also a really bad day. It's never good when a whole country turns against you.

Ok, good stuff first. So if you don't want to read the bad stuff, you don't have to. We started out the day by making a trip to the Embassy. We had all the paperwork finally, and were able to get our marriage license. We walked over to the Ward Office and got "officially" married. All that entails is having the license stamped. Then we went back over to the Embassy to have it notarized, and the Consular Officer said "Congratulations, you are married." Yay!! It's official! It is so much easier to get legally married here than it is in the States. We still plan on having a ceremony and reception at some point when we get home.

Other good bit, we had a dr. appt. in the afternoon. It was the "body check." A much longer sonogram with a special sonographer. She took measurements of the brain and head, checked the heart, stomach, bladder, kidneys, and counted fingers and toes. We got to see lots of movement from the baby. We got to see something else too. An unmistakable something in between his legs. Yes, his. IT'S A BOY. Crazy. We were so sure it was a girl. Now we need to think of some names!! Any suggestions? We have a couple that we like, but are still very unsure. We are open to hear anyone's ideas. Thanks!

Ok, the bad stuff. I don't think I need to revisit that, actually. I think I'll just try to put all the bad from that day out of my memory. I'll just say that there was lots of going the wrong way on the subway, a preggo not getting the food she wants, and some yelling at a Korean man. We made it home safely, and that's all that matters. Really, what counts more than getting married and finding out the sex of your baby, all in one day?

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
