Baby boy!

The Ultrasound... finally we get to see you! The ultrasound was so neat to see you actually are in there and to see you move around! I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time - just overwhelmed. I also know why i can't feel you move as much as I thought I would - the placenta is out in front and cushioning all of your movements! Until you get bigger, I won't feel your acrobatics. To be honest... I can't wait! I also loved seeing your little heart beat - so small yet so perfect.





They kept trying to get a profile picture but you would not cooperate! Every time we tried to get a picture of your face, you would turn away. So... no great views of your profile or face :)



The best part - we finally know we are having a boy! You were shy to show your face but thankfully you opened your legs so we could see the gender! When we found out, it was very cool! I admit I was trying not to cry.... just so happy and excited! Your dad was holding my hand and squeezing it - very cool moment.



After the appointment, we called our parents and family! What fun news to share - everyone was so excited - especially the Backstroms to add a grandson to their two granddaughters.

So, these are the first pictures of you with many MANY more to come I'm sure! I have a feeling we will document your life well with the help of your grandparents!

19 weeks (hopefully!) until we get to hold you in our arms! Can't wait!
