Boy oh boy

So we had the big ultrasound on Thursday...turns out we're having another BOY!!! I was convinced that U2 was going to be a little girl. I actually said, "Are you SERIOUS?" when the nurse pointed out the 'parts' in the ultrasound! I am still in shock to be quite honest with you. I was all gung ho on having a girl and having her and Bella share a room in the new house, so now I'm totally thrown off. Don't get me wrong, of COURSE I am thrilled about the baby, and I am thankful that he looks healthy and everything is on track developmentally. That's a given though! I think every parent (well most of them anyway), given the choice, would choose to have one boy and one girl so they can experience both. Maybe I can convince Lenny we need to try onnnne last time for a girl in a couple years. If not, I'll just have to get my girly fix every other weekend when Bella is here! Hey Bellz, wanna fix our hair, put on some makeup, do manis and pedis, and go out and buy a bunch of cutesy girly clothes? Okaaaaaaaaay!

As I mentioned, baby boy is looking good. The heartbeep (as B calls it) was 136bpm. His heart, brain, kidneys, and everything else are right where they are supposed to be. He has two cute hands and two adorable feet, and nurse said it doesn't look like he has a cleft lip at all. They also said that when a baby has Downs Syndrome, they have a very short nasal bone and an extra thick neck, and it doesn't look like U2 has either of those. That is a relief to hear! I think that's always a one of the biggest worries for mothers-to-be, especially the older you get. Reassuring to hear that he looks good and everything is on track.

He's been kicking up a storm the past few days, and although Lenny has yet to feel it, I think that he probably could feel the kicks on the outside of my belly now. Maybe sometime this week!

Here are some u/s pics of baby boy #2. I wonder if he will look like Alex?

I can already tell he is gonna be cute :)
