It was Monday morning, September 16th.
Jessica was waiting on her mom to pick her up to take her to her doctors appointment.
Jessica sat on her couch with her hands on her stomach. She took deep breaths and smiled.
"Okay, uterus.. you do your job and be a nice home for our baby, okay? He's gonna be in there really really soon! I keep saying He, I don't know why!
I just have a feeling I'll have a little boy. But of course I'll love a little girl as well! Whatever God has chosen to give me, I'll be happy with. I'm just praying all goes well."
Soon Dorothy arrived and they were off to the appointment.

Jessica laid down, silently praying all would go well.
She wanted this baby more than anything!
Two weeks later.
"Okay, let's do this." Jessica then placed her hand on her stomach and sighed.
"Please be in there, little baby. Please be in there."
She then picked the test up from the counter and smiled so big with tears pouring down her face.
"I'm pregnant! I'm going to be a mommy!
Oh my gosh! There's a baby in there!" Jessica giggled.
"I promise you I will be the best mommy ever!
All you'll need is me. I will give you the love of both parents, little guy."

Four months later.
"Are you ready to find out what the baby is, Jessie?" Ann asks. Today was Jessica's gender reveal party.
It was a small gathering at her parents house.
Most people were very judgmental, so Jessica chose to only invite her immediate family, and her best friend.
"I'm so ready! I feel like I know already, but I could be totally wrong!"
"I think you are! I definitely think it's a girl!" Her friend Sarah says.
"Maybe! Okay, let's do this! You guys, I'm popping it!"
Everyone took their cameras out and pointed them to Jessica.
*POP*
"Ahh! I knew it! I knew it! Even before I got pregnant, I knew it!" Jessica cries tears of happiness.
"Aunt Jessie, what are you being crazy for?" Her nephew asks.
"I'm having a baby boy, Bryce!"
Jessica then looked down and cradled her belly.
"I'm gonna have a little man! I'm taking him everywhere I go! I'm going to love him more than any other woman will ever love him!"
***
Nine months pregnant.
"Okay, Uncle George and grandpa set everything up. Grandma washed and Mommy folded and hung up all of your little clothes. We have bottles, a breast pump, a carrier, little baby toys and binkies.. mommy even got you some Gucci! Of course I had to spoil my little man!" Jessica rubs her belly then takes a deep breath.
"I think we're all ready for you, Nicholas! You can come out at any time!" Jessica pats her belly as her baby boy kicks to the sound of his mother's voice.
"My goodness, what a strong boy!
You're just ready to get out, huh? Well mommy is ready for you to get out too!" Jessica giggles.
"Okay, I need to sit down and rest. I'm a little tired." Jessica walks over to her rocker and takes a seat.
"Ooh! You're low, aren't you? Soon, baby.
Soon you'll be in mommy's arms and.. and everything will be perfect."
Jessica rocked gently as she tried to soothe her baby.
