BOY!!!! We had the 20 week appointment/ultrasound today and found out we have a little boy in our future! Just like with Mady, Nick called it before the ultrasound tech even said it. Of course I had no idea what I was looking at, so I looked to her for confirmation and sure enough, he was right. He had the biggest grin on his face, haha. I could see his brain filling with thoughts of baseball games, football watching, and a little golf buddy swirling around.
Mady came with us to the appointment, so she got to see a glimpse of her new baby brother too. She wasn't near as interested in him as she was in the fish in the aquarium in the waiting room. Her exact words were "That be very cool!!". During the ultrasound she got scared when she heard the baby's heartbeat and started crying. The tech said that reaction was a first for her, and she's been doing that for quite a while. Considering we were there for over an hour, she did really well, so we rewarded her (and mommy and daddy) and celebrated with a trip to DQ!
Little boy is doing great, and looks normal and healthy. I have been telling Nick for a couple of weeks now that this baby moves a lot! I am constantly feeling him move, and sure enough, during the ultrasound he did not stop moving. The tech could not get a good measurement of the spine because he was moving so much, so at the next appointment we need to have another ultrasound to get that measurement. Another chance to see him!
I cannot believe we are at the halfway mark. Nick and I were debating on whether to wait and let it be a surprise as to whether it was a boy or girl. The planner in me got hold and I just couldn't do it, but I'm ok with that. I now have 4 months to have fun planning for our new arrival!
