So now the naming begins. We were all prepared for a girl (and I even have girly diapers, thankfully they are fitteds so they can easily be covered by boyish covers), but I guess that name will have to wait.

The Exciting Ultrasound.
Yesterday I had that long awaited anatomy ultrasound. I think I will just get right down to it. I've mentioned it before, but seeing your child on that screen NEVER gets old. What an amazing joy. I could see the facial features, arms, legs, hands and feet. Oh and not to mention that bold image of the spine and detailed picture of the heart. The heart is what amazed me the most. The tech had enlarged the image and there we saw the perfectly formed heart with the four chambers and you could see the valves pumping and the blood flow. Truly amazing. Baby is said to be quite healthy. My dates are pretty much the same. By LMP my edd is June 7 and by ultrasound my edd is May 31st, so in my book, I will stick with my "early June" answer.
So now the long awaited answer. We are having another BOY! And let me tell you, there was no hiding it too! It was very obvious that we are having a boy. Many people already know, except for the oldest two kids. They want to be surprised, but I'm not sure it will be kept for the next 20 or so weeks. Did you also know that it is very difficult to explain to a 3 year old that the 2D images in the black and white picture is a little brother? She tried to set me straight that it was a girl, but I eventually convinced her with his picture.

DeleteYes, I am a bit over 26 weeks. I feel like 35 weeks to be honest. Thank you for sharing your excitement with me. We are all so pumped for the arrival of this little man. Oh, and yeah, I was totally bummed and shocked that it was a boy. I was so hoping to use our girl name, but that is not what God planned. So I will file it away and maybe next time!
