April 18th was the big day! We were so excited and couldn't WAIT to find out if we were having another girl or a boy. Heading into the ultrasound room I could tell that Johnathan couldn't be more nervous... although I knew he would have been thrilled if it was another girl, I knew deep down he had been dreaming about a little boy for a long time. We both thought it would be great to get the best of both worlds and have one of each.
Before the appointment I made these little signs for Anna Rae to hold up... one said, "I'm getting a little brother, it's a boy!" The other the same but for a girl. She took excellent pictures for the boy's sign... sat there and smiled pretty. The girl sign, on the other hand, was hilarious. She didn't want to hold it and crumpled it up so much that we decided if it was a girl we wouldn't let her do the announcing.
So the time came, after seeing his precious head, arms, legs, back belly, etc. for the big reveal. Legs wide open and yes, it's a boy!!! We were so excited!!!!!! I can't wait to meet my little precious boy!
For names, we had decided early on that we would stick with family names since Anna Rae was named after family. It he had been a girl we were going to name her Rachel (my first name). So for a boy, we went with Johnathan's middle name, Adam. The middle name is a little trickier, and we haven't settled on what that will be quite yet.
The rest of the appointment was not as eventful. We did learn that little Adam is not so little, and actually measuring a week ahead of his due date. We also found out that he is breech. I'm a little worried about that, but I know there is plently of time for him to move. Let's pray he doesn't get comfortable in that position!
At 19 weeks! (and the doggies)
