I had my 20-week ultrasound today and was shocked to find out I am having a boy! At first, he made it difficult for us to see with his legs crossed (just like big sis, Liz) but after some wiggles and shakes to my belly, he showed us! I'm so excited, but a little scared too. I feel so unprepared for this....
I come from a family of 4 girls and after I had Elizabeth, I thought for sure I was going to have all girls too. This really came as a BIG surprise and I am glad I didn't wait to be surprised at the birth because now I have time to prepare!!
It was really fun because we had Lizzie with us so she was able to see the baby and hear his little heartbeat. After we told her it was a boy, she kept saying, "I got boy!" We told her she is having a little brother and whether she gets that or not, she smiled and that made me happy. I held her as we walked to the car and said, "Lizzie, we're having a boy! What are we gonna do?" She shrugged her shoulders and in her cute little voice said, "I dunno!" Then, during the drive home she was waving her fist in the air chanting, "Brother! Brother! Brother!" It was so sweet. She totally melted my heart today : )
Here are some sonogram pics and I think Todd took a video of Liz, so I'll try and get that up soon too. By the way....almost everyone I have told has had the same reaction which is, "Todd must be so happy/excited." In reality, he could not care less. He seemed indifferent to the whole thing. As I recall, he had a huge smile and lots of excitement when we found out we were having a girl with Liz.....Oh well, he already has his daddy's girl, right? My turn!! Yay! So excited!
