Excuse me?

At 20 weeks we went for the normal ultrasound and the technician (who was new and I had never seen before) told us she was pretty sure we were having a girl. I was unsure because it was difficult to tell but Court even felt confident.

Yesterday we went in for another ultrasound (number 5). They wanted to get a closer look at the baby's heartbeat because last time they were unable to get a good look because of the way it was laying.

Here are a couple of pictures (they didn't give me any last time - I am not so sure about that technician for more then one reason).

Here is the picture of the face. The funny thing is that it looks almost identical to the one that was taken of Izzy at her 20 week ultrasound.

Yup!, you guessed it we are really having a boy. Ok so the technician (the one we normally get and love) put this picture up on the screen and asked if we wanted to know the gender. I looked at it and said that is a boy right? It was so noticeable that even I couldn't miss it. I was speechless. Here we were planning for a girl even had a name picked out and everything.

Court was excited from the first moment. And I am coming around. It isn't that I didn't want a boy I just had so many plans (and much clothing) for another girl. Darn - I guess I will have to go shopping. Most importantly the baby is doing great and is very healthy. HOORAY!

Oh! You will LOVE a boy just as much as a girl.... they add a little "something special" to the family that only a little boy can do!
Congratulations you two!
