Baby Brother on the way!

We had a great time at the ultrasound this morning. The technician said she got some wonderful views and everything looks healthy. It is such a wonderful feeling to see that heart beating. I was getting so excited to know the gender but the legs were scrunched up so tight that we couldn't see. She kept jiggling the hand piece trying to get the baby to move but it wasn't working. She told me to use the bathroom, move around a bit, and hopefully we'd get a better view with the physician (in a few minutes). Luckily we did! It's definitely a boy, but I won't post those pictures here. For a while I was afraid the baby would be too modest. We're so excited for Nolan to have a brother to hang out with. And I'm already feeling excited for pulling out all the sweet baby boy clothes that Nolan used. Here are some videos of the ultrasound if you're interested (most people don't love these images, but I know Grandma Kathi will want to see for sure).



Here is Nolan's reaction to the news:

Congrats you two! Nolan will have so much fun being a big brother. I voted for a girl, but boys are so fun too.

Wow! How exciting! Those videos are so awesome! I bet it's so nice to have all the clothes and things you'll need for a baby boy!

That picture of Nolan is pricless. Congrats on the baby boy. My sister in law just found out they are having a boy too. You guys must be around the same timing. She's as tiny as you too where you probably have to tell people more than once that you're pregnant since the first time they don't believe you since you are unfairly little. Good luck on a name.

How exciting. YEAH!!!! I laughed so hard at that picture of Nolan...that is hillarious. It will be nice to be able to already have boy stuff and not have to start over again with some things. I'm excited for you. Glad the little guy is growing and is healthy too. How fun.

Yea!! Boys are awesome! Nolan may not be sure about it now, but soon they will be the best of buds! I'm glad now that we had 2 boys in a row too. Eventually, one of us is bound to get a girl, right?

I am excited that we will have our little boys together. I voted for a girl, but I have only been right twice in my life, so I should have known better.

Congratulations! It's so fun to find out the gender. I liked Nolan's reaction, I'm sure he'll get excited someday.

Great ultrasound videos...mine were never that clear. I'm so excited for you guys. Boys are fun!!!!!
I've told you this before...boy teenagers are easier than girl teenagers...less drama (that's just my opinion).
