Baby Brother!

Well the Chinese are wrong, I'm having a boy! When we first started doing the ultrasound the doctor was looking at the top of the baby's head and Adelyn kept saying "Ball! Ball!" And we'd say "No, that's the baby's head." Then she moved it so you could see the baby's profile and Adelyn got really excited and said "Baby!!!!"
I know a lot of people don't put up the shot of the private parts to spare their children's embarrassment later, but my question is this...aren't parents supposed to embarrass their kids!? And we're also kind of proud of his little family jewels. When the doctor finally got to that part she immediately said "Well it's DEFINITELY a boy...no mistaking this one." That was an especially proud moment for Jared.

We don't have any names picked yet although Jared has suggested Thrasher...Thrash for short. FYI: Thrasher is Jared's video game alias (mine is Phoenix).
Also the doctor moved up the due date by about half a week. The new due date is September 30 which puts me at exactly 20 weeks tomorrow.
Hooray for little boys!

I'm so happy! The only upsetting thing is that we just aren't timing these babies right! I know my next one will be another boy, but once again he will be too young to be baby Griffin's playmate! (When we finally live in the same state someday). Ah well. Congrats!!

Oh fun! I'm starting to get anxious to find out what we're having... but we only have a few weeks left!

Thrasher was Jared's nickname from the football team. Have him tell you the story if he hasn't.

I am no good at Ultrasounds. I looked at those pictures and it just looks like an old Black and White movie scene about a man putting jam on his toast. Sorry for my insensetivity. Congratulations though!

I loved going to the ultrasound. It is so fun to see the baby move around so much! And plus, when it's moving you can actually tell what's what. I'm so excited for you!! Oh, and I can't wait to see how many times you get peed on or he atleast pees when his diaper is off. I think Zo has peed about 5 times in the last 24 hours without his diaper on. Today, it got him on the head. You should have seen the look on his face when he was getting sprayed by his own pee. Hysterical!

Missy said...

Yay! Congrats on your boy!! There's nothing like a baby boy in my book. Love you girl!

Mary said...

WOOT WOOT!

Kyrsten said...

How fun. Boys are a lot different than girls. Max is in to everything, but still as cute as ever.

Craig and Sarah Severinsen said...

First of all, I agree with Jared. A young man should be named after his father and Thrasher is a fine name. secondly, shouldn't you legally get Adelyn's name legally changed to Phoenix? It's the right thing to do.
