It's a ........

Today was a big day at our house. We went to have an ultrasound of our newest addition. I am twenty weeks today.....already half way!! The kids and Memaw Linda went with us to find out if we were having a boy or girl. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound...

The arrow is pointing to the sex of the baby....it is a pretty definitive picture.
We are having a little BOY!!!!! We are just thrilled!!!!! Everybody was in agreement we needed to have another boy. Luke said, "It has to be a boy or I will be surrounded by girls."

Luke and Rachel enjoyed the ultrasound and really understood what they were looking at. They talked about the skeleton and spine. Rachel said "It looked like a real skeleton, and Luke said, "Of course it is a real skeleton because it is a real baby." They could see the heart, head, hands, and feet. They even listened to the heart beat. The baby measures about the length of my hand from head to bottom and weighs .8 pounds. Kate did not really have a clue about what was going on, but we were glad she was there to get the news.

We had waited to tell the kids about the baby until this Monday at dinner. Rachel has been on cloud nine since. The ultrasound tech said the baby measured 20weeks and 3 days. Rachel said, "Twenty weeks!! You just got it on Monday!!" I explained we had waited to tell them about the baby, but it had been growing for twenty weeks.
