It's a...

Boy!!

We couldn't be more excited! At the beginning we both wanted a girl but for the past few weeks I just sort of felt like Blob was a boy so I had been getting really excited for that. I think more than anything we're just excited to know a bit more about who this tiny human is! I hate suspense and now I am so relieved to know what we're having.

^^ Waiting at the doctor's office ^^

Everything looked super healthy with the baby- he's exactly on track with his growth, his noggin and heart look great and he has a really cute little face. Right at the end he was waving at us. I am pretty sure he wasn't actually meaning to wave but I will take his little dancing arms as a wave.

I think learning the gender of the baby makes the whole thing a lot more real, even more so than when I got a positive on the pregnancy test. Now I can start visualizing him in the nursery or running around the back yard. I am getting more and more excited every time I think about how much fun it will be to have a boy.

A few things we look forward to about a boy:

Teaching him about Star Wars (we've already purchased him some Darth Vader bedding)

Lining up little green army men in the street and watching them get run over by cars (a favorite of my brothers when they were little)

Helping him understand that Batman is way cooler than Spiderman

Teaching him how to be a priesthood holder

Motherboy! (if you don't know what this is then you need to watch more Arrested Development)

Teaching him what puns and jokes are (his dad will take full responsibility for this one)

Someday playing tennis with him and teaching him all sorts of sports and games

Thomas and I couldn't be more thrilled! Now it's even harder to wait to meet him!
