IT'S A BOY!!!!

Wednesday we went in for our 20 week sonogram (actually, it ended up being at 22 weeks). It's always so exciting to see our baby moving around and hearing his heartbeat! Let me start by saying this baby seems very active to me. But the only thing I have to compare the movements of this baby to is Jack, who was less active in the womb. During the ultrasound, the technichian kept saying, "be still....quit moving for a minute..." I told her this is how he is every time I lay down. About half way through the ultrasound, she said he had already flipped over at least twice!! So, I guess it's not just me and this really is one active baby boy! Hopefully Brady gets it out of his system now! hahaha! Or maybe it'll just make it easier for him to keep up with Jack!

Here's the profile of our little booger:

And the heartbeat (152 beats per minute):

And I just LOVE the 3D pictures!! I know he'll change a lot between now and when he's born, but Brady's lips look just like Jack's when he was newborn :)

We didn't find out if Jack was a boy or girl until he was born and we kept going back and forth about finding out this time. To find out in the doctor's office seemed kinda anti-climactic, so we decided to take the gender in a sealed envelope to Publix. They colored the icing that held the layers together either pink for a girl or blue for a boy. When we cut into the cake, we saw BLUE!!! This was a very exciting way to find out! And we got to share this experience with Luke's parents, Laura's mom, Uncle Nick, Aunt Liz, Uncle Zack, and Uncle Caleb!

Everyone's predictions before cutting the cake:

Cutting the cake!!!

I'll spare Brady the embarrassment in the future of having the "it's a boy!" sonogram picture posted online. But trust me, it's definitely a boy!!!
