Chapter 13-Girl Meets Month 5
Today is the day Josh and I find out the sex of the child and thankfully I'm past the miscarriage stage of pregnancy and I'm fine, Josh and I agreed that we wanted to know the sex of the baby mostly because we want to be prepared and we can buy clothes for the baby and it's just nice to know. Everyone wanted to come with us to find out but everyone in a small room together not a good idea so we're meeting them at my apartment later on to tell them all, even Josh's parents came up because they wanted to know the sex of the baby, it's great how supportive everyone is. The bad thing about being five months pregnant is I look like a watermelon! Right now I'm in Josh's apartment trying to find something to wear that doesn't make me look massive, I have a few clothes here mostly because sometimes I stay over unexpected and because I am massive I'm very pick of what I wear so now I'm walking around Josh's room wearing leggings and my bra trying to find something to wear.
"Babe just choose something" Josh says as he's lied on the bed waiting for me to get ready "We'll be late" Josh says and I sigh.
"Kind of hard when you look like a watermelon Josh" I tell him, "Josh" I say and he looks at me as I pout "Can I wear your jumper?" I ask him, he chuckles and grabs his jumper from the wardrobe passing it to me and I put it on "Thank you" I kiss his cheek "I hate being this big" I whine and he chuckles.
"Just think it will all be worth it" Josh says kissing me "Ready to find out?" Josh asks, I nod and we make our way to the hospital. Josh and I are also supposed to be going shopping for the rest of the baby stuff so the pram and clothes, a cot and everything like that once we know if it's a boy or a girl, Josh and I have been keeping this jar called baby money so we're buying everything with that we put half our wages in we get from work and any tips as well.
"You two ready to find out?" Becky asks as we walk inside and we nod "Ok lie down Maya and lift up your jumper" Becky says, I lie down and lift up the jumper as Josh keeps holding my hand and kissing my head sweetly, after around 20 minutes finally I couldn't wait any longer "Congrats it looks like you two are having a girl" Becky says a girl?
"You're sure?" Josh asks Becky.
"We can only be eighty percent sure with these but they're mostly right as you can tell with the image now the baby has grown a lot more" Becky says as I sit up and pull my jumper back down and she hands us the ultrasound.
"Haha I get to choose the name of the baby" I tell Josh sticking my tongue out.
"Shame I wanted to name it Josh Jr" Josh says and I roll my eyes at him "Come on I've got like twenty texts from just Riles telling us to hurry up" Josh says and I chuckle, we thank Becky and make our way to my place "You happy?" Josh asks as he wraps his arm around my shoulder as I look at the ultrasound.
"Kinda hard not to be" I smile "She looks so cute" I say referring to the ultrasound and Josh kisses my head.
"I'm sure she'll be just like you" Josh whispers in my ear as we walk "And if so god help us" Josh says and I slap his chest as he laughs, arriving at my place we walk inside seeing everyone there and immediately Riley runs over taking the ultrasound out of my hand and they all gather around it.
"That looks like a girl" Riley says.
"No way it's a boy" Zay says as they all debate, I look at Josh who just laughs at how weird they all are.
"Well maybe if you ask we can tell you" I say and they all look at us.
"Sorry" Riley says handing it back to me and I roll my eyes "I get a little too excited sometimes" She says.
"Sometimes!" We all say and her jaw drops "Well?" They all ask.
"It's a girl" Josh says and they all cheer making us laugh and they come to hug us and congratulate us. After a lot of hugging and everyone talking about the baby and what she will be like, Josh and I headed out to go shopping for the baby to get everything and we did manage to get all the stuff for the baby and now we're just looking at clothes for her my mom said we need like a lot for when she's first born because of the weather and everything. The baby clothes are so cute! I continue looking whilst Josh pays for everything we bought and because they're in boxes that need putting together they're heavy so he's putting them in the car whilst I look for baby clothes.
"I'm taking you're having a girl" I hear and I see a woman standing next to me also shopping for things and she has a small bump.
"Yeah, we just found out today" I smile.
"Baby shopping for the first pregnancy is great, everything is so adorable" She says and I agree with her "How old are you?" She asks.
"Seventeen" I tell her and I feel self conscious now, mostly because I know how judgmental people can be.
"I was your age when I first got pregnant with my boyfriend" She says no way! "And now I'm older and onto baby number 2" She says.
"Was it hard? Raising a baby at this age?" I ask her a little worried.
"It was challenging of course especially with school and college but we made it work so I know it's doable, but it was worth it in the end" The woman says.
"Everyone keeps telling me that, was it hard dealing with people? Because people can be very judgemental" I sigh.
"It was for me I was always so paranoid and my boyfriend, well now husband always just told me to ignore them and how it was our lives" She says.
"Sounds a lot like my boyfriend" I chuckle.
"Mommy!" A little girl comes running over the woman and I smile.
"Like I said it's worth it" The woman says before walking off with her and I smile.
"Hey babe" Josh says walking to me kissing me "Who knew baby stuff was so heavy?" Josh asks.
"Maybe you should work out more then" I chuckle.
"Dealing with you is a work out" Josh says and I slap his chest "Kidding gorgeous" Josh kisses my temple "Find anything?" He asks and I hand him the basket "It is just one baby right?" He asks.
"Very funny" I chuckle looking around some more "Ok that's it for today my back is killing me I need a nap" I say and he chuckles, we walk to the register and pay for everything and then we head back to my place and nap together. It's getting closer and closer to the baby arriving but talking to that woman kind of assured me it would all be ok as long as I had Josh.
