Think blue!

That's right people, we are having a boy! I had my ultrasound this morning at 7:30am, I had to get it early enough so that James could go with me before work. So we get to the doctor's office and had to fill out a bit of paperwork since our insurance had changed due to James' new employer but once that was done, the ultrasound tech called us back. She had me lay down on the table and put the goop on my belly then started right away. We first saw his little head and checked a few things out and then it was time for the butt check. :) She knew that we wanted to find out so when she went to the specific area she told us that we were looking at the underside of the baby's sitting position. You could make out his legs and right inbetween was a little buddy. She said, "Its a boy." James said "so is that his wiener?" and she said "yes, that is the penis." James and I were laughing about it later on what he had called it. We high-fived each other in the ultrasound room and continued to watch as she started measuring and checking out other things. He was shaking his little head and he flipped around at one point. It was so amazing to see and to compare the amazing growth spurt that he has had since the last ultrasound.

After she was done with all the measurements and picture taking, we went back to the waiting room to wait until we got called in to the exam room to speak with the doctor. As we were waiting we were talking about how awesome it was and how exciting it is that we are having a boy. James said that he almost started tearing up in the ultrasound room when he heard it was a boy. He really wanted to have a boy the first time around and it was sweet to see how strong his emotions were about it. He started talking about all the stuff they could do when he is older and how he will get to teach him things. Aww!

So we get called back into the exam room where I was weighed (I gained 6 lbs in 4 weeks, is that too much?) and the doctor comes in to explain the ultrasound pics. He went around showing us what was what and saying that everything looked normal and healthy at this point. Brain, kidneys, heart, and spine showed no abnormal defects so that was good to hear. The visit didn't last long since we didn't really have any questions and just wanted to get out of there so we could start making phone calls. :)

So, yes, its a boy! We have the name picked out already and our little boy will be named after my father-in-law (this is the first grandson for the Gregga side). So he will be called William Blake Gregga but will go by his middle name, Blake. Little Blakey, we are so excited to be your parents and can't wait for your big arrival in a few short months! Let the baby planning fun begin!



20 weeks- Little Blake safe inside





His head and body. There is a bright white line under his head, that is his arm curled around the side of his face.




His cute little foot.
