It's a... BOY!

I debated about whether or not to include an ultrasound photo, but I always think it's creepy to look at other people's ultrasound photos. Let's face it, they're pictures that only a mother (and father) can appreciate, not to mention that fact that most people can't tell what they're looking at anyway.

I couldn't handle the suspense any longer (patience is not one of my virtues) so I asked Tyler to call a local ultrasound clinic to see if they had any available appointments today. Sure enough, they had one at 6:30pm so we took it. It didn't take the tech long to get a good shot and she didn't have to say a word... Tyler and I both knew right away that it was definitely a boy!

This little baby hasn't moved around nearly as much as Olivia. I know it's still early to be feeling a lot, but I felt Olivia really early. She kicked and squirmed all the time, even at 14 & 15 weeks. But I haven't felt much with this one. Every once in a while I will feel a little bump, but usually only if I curl up while sleeping or sitting on the couch (I guess he likes his space?). Sure enough, he was just as still during the ultrasound. He moved his feet a little and gave a stretch during a big yawn, but overall he was really still and completely willing to give the tech a full view of his goods. Tyler was very proud of those "goods", by the way. Let me assure you that if I did post a picture you would definitely know what you were looking at! HA HA!

I am sure my brother is happy that another boy will finally be joining the family (Kyler is the only boy, with FOUR sisters, poor guy).

Tyler and I are both really excited. Tyler is getting Olivia in her pajamas right now and trying to teach her how to say "brother." Right now it sounds like "Ba-ba." The only problem is that I had plenty of girl names picked out, but I've never been able to come up with a good list of boy names. So, even though we have a couple that we like (which we're not sharing, yet) we're open to suggestions.
