Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails...

...IT'S A BOY!!! Friday Brian and I went in for the 20 week ultrasound. All measurements look great and everything seems to be healthy. At first Baby C's legs were crossed and I was so bummed because I thought we weren't going to get to find out the sex. After some gentle poking and prodding he flashed us and TA-DAH it's a boy!
The best part was I couldn't see the screen but I got to watch Brian's face the whole time. He went from confusion, because he didn't know what in the heck he was looking at, to questioning recognition, because he thought he may have seen something, to elation, because the ultrasound tech drew a perfectly placed arrow and wrote "Oh boy!" on the screen. As soon as I saw Brian's face I knew it was a boy, I didn't have to even wait for the ultrasound screen to be turned to me...his face said it all!
Truthfully we are just praying for a healthy baby (I know everyone says that, but that's all anyone wants anyways right?) and we didn't care if it was a boy a girl. But...I did know that Brian really did want a boy at some point and I know he was just so excited that we get one first!!! And I am too!
Knowing the sex makes it so real! We can finally call the baby 'him' instead of 'it' or 'the baby'. And now we can start picking out nursery colors and decor....let the shopping begin!!!
But mostly we can't wait to meet our little BOY!
