IT'S A....

BOY!

On Tuesday April 8th I had my 20 week ultrasound.  Jared was able to leave work for part of the day and met me at the Dr. office just in time!  Gavin kept going back and forth between wanting a baby brother or a baby brother, so just before leaving I asked him what his final request was.  He told me he wanted a new baby brother, and that's what he's getting!  

Baby was acting shy during the ultrasound, and kept hiding his face behind his tiny little fists.  I don't remember Gavin moving around so much during his ultrasound, but that was a while ago!  Everything checks out and we are just glad he is a healthy growing baby!  Baby is measuring about a week smaller than my original due date, so we'll see when he decides to come.

After the ultrasound we picked Gavin up from our friend's and went out to lunch at Subway to celebrate.  Daddy got me pretty yellow tulips, and a blue "It's A Boy" balloon for Gavin.  (He may have been more excited about the balloon than the baby brother!)  Once Gavin and I got home from lunch he helped me make some sugar cookies with blue icing before I had to rush off to work.  I took some of the blue cookies to share at work, and everyone was excited to hear the news!

By the time I got a chance to take a picture of the balloon and cookies the next day, the cookies were mostly devoured and the balloon had popped!  But I guess this is a better illustration of what our busy life's been like lately!
