It's a...

Today Brant and I snuck out of work to go take a peak at the little monster inside my tummy. Our doctor wanted us to get an ultrasound in 1-2 weeks from Friday (the 16th), but we were too excited to know what our baby is to wait the recommended time. Plus I wanted to know by Thanksgiving and my birthday. So we scheduled our appointment as soon as we could get in (2 days later).

Although our baby was a little small to do all the necessary measurements they do at 18 weeks (I'm at about 17 weeks, 6 days), we were able to find out the gender. I'm proud to announce that we are going to be parents to a bouncing baby BOY!!!!!

We are both VERY excited at this news. We have been referring to our baby as a he for a couple of months now, so I guess it's a good thing that he is a boy. Or else he may have come out a bit confused. Hahaha!

The girl who did our ultrasound said she hadn't seen such a definitive "BOY" in a long time. I guess he really listened to his daddy when Brant told him that he needed to show his stuff to us so that we could know. That's a good sign! He's already obedient. :)

And, since he was a little small for the measurements, it means we get to go back next week and get another peak at our little boy! Yay!! I can't wait! I already can't get enough of this little man.
