IT'S A BOY!!! My busy week last week combined with the craziness of a very sick daughter this week had me procrastinating on this post. But we found out last Tuesday that we will in fact need to be changing the name of this blog. ;) And actually, on another note for another post, this blog may be going in an entirely different direction, or at least adding to the original idea of just posting stuff about the girls. So, we went for our elective ultrasound at The Ultrasound Zone in Glen Carbon last Tuesday morning. My sister went right before me. We saw each other in passing, but did not share the sexes of the babies. Just that we did in fact find out. :) On a side note, I would recommend The Ultrasound Zone to ANYONE pregnant or that may have another baby in the future. Andrew has always been against 3D/4D ultrasounds (the cost and the creepiness are his reasons). But we agreed to this one since it was just to find out the sex of our baby at the same time as my sister. And it was really fun finding out a month earlier than we normally would through the doctor's office. So, we went in and it was a huge room, she turned down the lights and started right in on looking at the baby: face, movements and finally sex. They had those rock lullaby songs playing and it was SO cool to see our baby moving all around on the big screen. When she kept looking to see what the baby was, Andrew and I both thought we saw something very different, but she kept saying the cord was in the way for a good shot (the baby was cuddling the cord. I have a cute picture of it.). But then she said it: "You're having a boy!" Andrew was so excited! As was I, though I had a feeling it was a boy the whole time. So, we gathered our pictures and were off to the party place to get some blue balloons for our reveal party that night. And the gathering with our families was so much fun. When we ripped open the bags holding the balloons, I was so shocked my sister was having a boy too! I thought with our luck we'd maybe get just one boy. But I am more than excited that our baby boys will be growing up together so close in age. They're gonna be the best of friends. I cannot wait!! :) Carter Michael Naylor, I am so in love with you already! Can't wait to meet you in November (October's okay too).
