Boy or Girl?!

We are having a BOY!! YAY!! I am so stinkin' excited!! We would have been thrilled with either a boy or girl of course, but boys are just so new to me! I have a sister, had so many friends that were girls growing up and still do, and babysat a lot of girls when I was younger. Actually, I was so excited when I met Brad and learned he had brothers... and of course I have two of the best nephews ever!! But having one of my own will be so different!! I can't wait for boy toys and clothes!! Yes Jen, bring on the trucks and tractors!! :) :)

Anyway, we had our sonogram yesterday afternoon. Brad met me at the doctor's office from work.  Right away, the sonographer said, "I am not going to be able to tell you what this baby is in this position". I was like "oh great, of course that would be our luck... we have waited this long and now he/she isn't going to cooperate!" Anyway, I knew in the back of my mind that this baby has been sooooo active lately, so I told her that she/he will most likely move if we give him/her a few minutes. She agreed because she could already see him kicking and doing lots of moving around.

A few minutes went by as she looked at all of the important stuff she was supposed to look for. She kept listing a bunch of body parts she was finding on the screen, spine, brain, lungs, diaphragm, so I knew that could only be a good sign.

A few minutes later she said, "I think I have a pretty good idea of what this baby is but I am not going to say just yet." I almost said, just tell us!! But, we didn't have to wait much longer after that because Baby Z revealed HIMSELF to us! Both Brad and I saw it at the same time without her saying anything yet and then she caught on that we knew! Her first words were, "this is definitely a boy" and we knew she wasn't kidding!

We told her how Brad is from a family of all boys, has nephews, etc... so she got a chuckle out of that.

We did get a couple of new pictures. They show his face only but are in 4D, so are very, very real looking. So cool! The others we have gotten almost look more cartoon-ish, and haven't shown many features yet. At the time of this pictures he had his foot up by his mouth.

. "Yep, that's my foot! Watch out, I am only just getting this kicking thing down... give me a few weeks!"

The nurse even said she already feels sorry for me because in a few weeks his kicks are going to be painful!

Ahhh!! He is just the cutest little thing ever!! I love him already!
