It's a... (drum roll)

We are halfway through this pregnancy-20 weeks to be exact and Today was the BIG Ultrasound at Dr Webb's office to find out whether we'd be getting a brother or sister. Anyone who has talked to me knows I am pretty confident we'd be having another girl. It's all so logical, everyone I knew and had talked to who'd found themselves in a similar situation as ourselves (with a surprise timing of their 3rd child) and let me tell you it's actually quite common-my grandma, my mother and a few friends all had a girl. At the beginning of my pregnancy I kept thinking it was a boy, but even science supports it's the lil girls that slip in there, the boy genes not being quite as strong (this does not include adopted children-:) sorry Tricksy). Personal Research also said this was the year my friends were having the opposite sex introduced into their family-meaning those with boy children were having their 1st girl and those with lil girls (Nat) were having their 1st boy. Logically this was the year to get pregnant...

We decided to take Tyler and McKenna with us since we didn't have a babysitter-and we wanted to try and make it more real to McKenna hoping she'll adjust a little smoother. We figured she was old enough to start understanding what was going on. When my name was called we escorted our circus into that little ultrasound room and as soon as I laid down and they started prepping my belly Tyler began to panic. This didn't slow the ultrasound tech down at all, no sooner had we settled Tyler down did she announce, "it's a boy". In shock I questioned her, "a boy?" and she responded with, "it's definitely a boy." Tyler then started chanting "boy, boy, boy" and John somehow recorded the 1st 2 minutes. It's all kind of crazy to me. I really don't know what to do with boys, and I'm even somewhat afraid of having a little boy. The best news of course is that this kid is very healthy, and everything was in perfect order. After my pregnancy with McKenna I will always be a little nervous, especially since it's only been the past couple of days when I'm laying down to sleep that I have felt this little fella moving.

Lil baby boy parts-It's a boy
So we are very excited to announce after Thanksgiving Day John will no longer be the only holder of Testosterone in our home. John was smiling quite a bit saying he was thrilled to be having a healthy baby, and although I know he'd be happy with a girl or boy, I think he's quite excited!
