We had our sonogram today and it's a boy! Courtney was upset at first because she wanted a sister. As we called family she sat in the backseat singing, "It's a gwirl, it's a gwirl, it's a gwiiiiirl!!" I had the 3D pics out and told Keith, "Now we need a name- what does he look like to you?" "A Gwirl!" Courtney chimed in from the backseat! She is feeling better about it being a boy now, especially since (thanks to Karen's advice) I said, "Now you'll have a little brother just like your cousin Leighton!"
The sonogram went wonderfully. Our little boy is completely healthy and measuring around 10" long. It was surreal to watch the baby move and feel it at the same time. We got about 2 minutes worth of a 4D sonogram just for fun- guess the sonographer was in a good mood today. (See pic below). It's so funny because with Courtney I felt like a pinball machine as she would ping from one side of my belly to the next. With this one it's more like a lava lamp. He seems easy-going, with very few sharp jabs. . . just easy, smooth movements.
We are really excited- now it's time to start planning for the nursery!
