Ultrasound=Hunting, Hunting, Hunting!

We found out Wednesday that we are expecting a very active little BOY! We're so excited! The appointment went really well. Everything was as normal as she could tell. However, it was really hard to get pictures, measurments, or anything for that matter cuz he was ALL over the place. The ultrasound tech had to figorously tap my stomach with the wand a few times so we could get a picture. I don't know if that helped. It probably egged him on. We were able to get a DVD of the whole thing and there's evidence on there of what I've been feeling for about 6 weeks. . . kicking. Maybe I'm just a first time mom and don't know anything, but I swear he's going to come out running. I'm a little worried :)
After we found out that it was a boy, I'm pretty sure a blank stare went across Andrew's face as he was imagining all the future hunting trips and etc that they would go on together. He has lots of plans. What was really funny too is Andrew said to me " I don't want to make the baby's room a "baby room". I want to make it a "little man's room". I thought that was pretty cute. If it would have been a girl I don't think he would have been as actively involved in the decor of the room.
Now that we know what it is it's kind of a reality check. Names, furniture, and essentials come into place. My brother has lovingly named him Hank until we can come up with one. Thanks :) He along with Andrew has big plans for our "Hank" and Cade. They're going to be best buddies. Tiffany and I have already mad a pact. We're going to have to stick together for sure. We're just really glad that everything was normal and he's a healthy little guy.

20 weeks with his foot by his face. . . getting ready to kick I bet :)

BOY!! I am so excited for you. I think it's great having an active baby. They always let you know they're there I am wanting to see if have a belly of any type. . .? I bet you look stinkin cute.
Best of luck on the name thing. It's killin' us. We basically don't talk about it much anymore because we decided we'll just wait until we see him.
Cute ultrasound by the way.

Hooray!! Boys are so, so fun. And I'm sure he definitely will keep you busy! Good luck with names and decor. It's one of the most fun things about being pregnant but can sometimes be the most difficult too. =) Congrats!

A BOY!!! I'm so excited for you!! Now my baby has a friend in the future!! I'm glad everything went ok and that the baby is healthy and normal-that was my biggest worry! I always have a fear that he'll come out with like 6 fingers on one hand or something...so where are the prego pictures? I can't wait to see what you look like-you're probably not even showing yet! Congrats again!!

That is so fun. I am so excited for you. It definitely makes it all the more real when you are able to see your little guy and finally find out what the gender is. You are just going to love being mommy and you will be great too. Congrats again.
