Popsicle Kisses, and Big Bear Hugs....

Little red wagons, and jars full of bugs,
Grass stains, football games, lots of toys,
Oh the joy....WE'RE HAVING A BOY!

Our little guy decided to show off at the very beginning of our ultrasound today! Brian spotted the "goods" before the ultrasound tech even mentioned it. Her response was, "It is definitely NOT a girl!"

I already love that little nose!

Check out that mitt! :) One of the first things Brian said was, "I get to coach T-Ball!"

Brian's reaction to the news of the little guy! (I honestly think he would have been just as excited about a little girl.)





Apparently he is "very well endowed" according to the tech....he has a proud father. :)Look at those adorable little feet!

We couldn't be more excited and it was so fun to see his perfect little hands, feet and a beautiful little nose. His heart, brain, and everything else looks fantastic. He is weighing in at 12 oz. and is perfectly happy inside his current home.

The whole ultrasound that was supposed to take 30 minutes ended up taking an entire hour. Our little munchkin was very happy where he was and didn't feel like flipping around. I had to rotate all over the table and then sit up for a while to try to get him to move his head. Thus, when this picture was taken. I must say that I am proud because the tech said he probably wasn't responding to all the poking and proding because my stomach muscles are still "taut"....I'm proud! He finally did decide to cooperate and we got the pictures of the 4 chambers of his heart that we needed.

According to BabyCenter.com, at 20 weeks the baby is the length of a banana...head to toe, no longer bump to rump.

We are going out to eat to celebrate....Brian says this kid needs steak.

We found these at TJMaxx on our way home from our celebration dinner (we walked...Longhorn is close)! These are celebratory shoes!
