It's a BOY!!

Well, today we went in for our 20 week ultrasound. We almost didn't get it done due to my insurance not covering 20 week u/s anymore. However, I have hyperthyroid and because of that they wanted one.

We took all the kids. All the boys thought it would be a boy and the little girl thought it would be a girl. L was so cute, he said "I think it's a boy, but I want it to be a girl so she can grow up and have a baby in her tummy". He was also pretty cute at the u/s when he told me to drink some water so we could see it fall on the baby. The ultrasound tech got us great pictures. We were able to see 10 beautiful fingers and toes and of course the little boy parts. I saw them right away, but then it was a minute before she went back to confirm. The boys were thrilled, but kind of lost interest after they found out it was a boy. For a second I saw him flash the I love you sign and was so thrilled about it. He kept putting his arms up over his head just like a newborn. We were able to get pictures of his hands and one picture of him waving at us.

Our office has a big screen TV up in the corner of the room that makes it very easy for mom and family to view the u/s. It was so nice not to have to twist my neck around to see the screen.

I was almost in tears during the u/s, just being able to see what a wonder is growing in me.

I praise YOU for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
psalm 139:4

I couldn't stop hearing this verse in my head as I watched the wonder inside me!

After the u/s we took the kids to chuck e. cheese (L's birthday today) and went and did some shopping at carter's to get a couple of new things for the baby. My friend sent a TON of baby boy things to me a month or so ago so I thinkI'm set, but we wanted to go pick out a coming home outfit and let the kids pick out something so they'll feel included.

We are so excited and thrilled.
