baby turtle.

(20 week sono pic- profile looks very similar to Matthan's at that time)

So yesterday we went for our 20 week ultrasound- for all the anatomy measurements and confirmation on the sex of the baby. As they were scanning, the baby was moving all around, all 13 ounces of the little one. As she measured the legs, arms- etc...we suddenly saw what appeared to be a baby turtle on the screen- I quietly gasped- followed by her announcement looks like you are having a BOY! A boy? A boy. Yep its a boy! She asked if that's what we were told last month- we told her no. She said- thats the problem with those early guesses. So just like that- I went from seeing "all things pink" to "blue".

Needless to say, we were shocked, especially me. However, we are very excited to be welcoming another little boy into our lives and we know Matthan will be so blessed to have a baby brother only 13 months younger than he will be.

(This is a picture of the cake we brought home to Mark's mom and Erika-as they were watching Matthan during our appt. It took a moment to notice that it says "It's a BOY" instead of "Girl" since we got it written in pink letters! They were shocked to say the least! )

Other exciting news is that the same day my sister in law-Crystal had her 20 wk sonogram and she who has twin boys (who will be 2 in October), will also be having another boy. We are due only a week apart from each other. So- come January we will have 5 boys under the age of 2 1/2. Crazy! Our own basketball team.

The baby looks good- already measuring a week ahead of our due date, so this might be another Big Boy! We'll see.
