Boy, Oh, Boy!

We are full of joy to be having a boy! We can't wait to welcome another son into our family in September. He was very stubborn during his first ultrasound. We went in for our appointment. My Dr. was running late, which is rare. The baby was kicking around like crazy for the hour in the waiting room. Once it was time to be on camera the baby decided it didn't want to move around much. It wanted its hands over the face (Jane did the same exact thing) and wanted those legs crossed or a foot in the way of a clear picture. My Dr. tried for awhile to figure out if it was a girl or boy. At first glance he said girl but then said he thought it was a boy. So we left with a it could be either and don't go buy anything for one or the other. We were a bit disappointed! We decided we would call around and see if we could get in for a 3d ultrasound somewhere (my Dr. doesn't do 3d.) We found once place the could see us on a Saturday at the end of May but it was in Paradise which meant an almost 2 hour drive one way. We then heard about one here in town that could get us in the following week.
Thursday finally arrived and we were ready to go in and see our baby and figure out what it was. I brought in the paperwork I was told I needed. The office said it was the wrong paper work and that they didn't know if they could do the ultrasound. I still have no idea what kind of paperwork they wanted. The ultrasound tech said she would go ahead and do the ultrasound. As we went back in she saw that I was only 21.5 weeks pregnant and said that she can't really do a 3d ultrasound until after 26weeks. I told her I had no idea but that whoever works there in the office said it was fine and scheduled it. I thought she'd change her mind and not do the ultrasound at that point. She did say she would attempt but that she wouldn't get a great picture. So as she was starting out we told her we didn't know what it was and that's why we were doing an ultrasound there. She immediate said she could tell what it was and showed/told us that it was definitely a boy. She then told us she would reschedule us to come back next month to get a better 3d ultrasound at no extra cost to us.
We left happy knowing that it was indeed a boy. I thought for sure it was a girl. I was also somewhat leaning towards wanting another girl because I have everything already for a girl and wanted Jane to have a sister close in age to her. So I was a bit bummed for a few seconds then realized that Dawson was going to be SO THRILLED. He wanted it to be a brother so badly. Brad and I decided we would drive to cub scouts to tell Dawson. He was SO happy and jumped up and down and then gave me a huge hug. It was a very sweet moment.
After telling Dawson and making a couple phone calls we met up with Brad's parents for dinner to tell them. They were both so excited and I thought they might cry a little. From dinner we went to Target because I wanted to buy something for a baby boy. Little boy stuff is NOT near as cute as little girl stuff so it was a little trickier. I did find some cute onesies. One said little brother, another said brand new, and I can't remember what the other 2 said. We also have been eying this double stroller we knew we'd have to get. We showed Brad's parents which one we had been thinking about and since they were still so excited about having another grandson they went ahead and bought it for us. We are very thankful for them!
I have 4 months to now prepare for this sweet baby boy. I have no idea where his stuff will go. I'm not ready to move Jane upstairs into a room yet or out of her crib. She can make it up the stairs pretty easily it's coming down that she isn't as good at. Maybe a summer project will be to get some of her stuff upstairs.
