Sugar and spice and everything nice...or....snipes and snails and puppy dog tails?

That's right...we found out what we're having today! I'm 16 weeks/4days today and had my OB appt today and then was able to schedule an appt with my friend (she just graduated from her Ultrasound Tech program) for an ultrasound! One of her friends needed some pics for her portfolio so I was happy to oblige in giving them a baby/tummy to use. :) So the gal got her pics and showed us the baby's parts and such, got the baby nice and irritated with being pushed around so much...and then showed us this!

Yup! As far as they could tell, it's a BOY! :) They did have one of their higher up techs or something come in at the end to check too but he had moved by then and was hard to get a good look but she said it looked like a boy to her too. So we're 95% sure it's a boy for now. I'll still have my 20 week ultrasound with my dr. when I get to NC so that'll give us a back-up to this but for now we're excited for a boy! Although I wasn't expecting that at all...I didn't feel either way that it was a boy or girl but I was kinda leaning for girl. I guess I'm just a bit nervous cuz we're used to all girl around here with Evelyn :)

 It'll be fun though! We're still praying for a nice calm baby, whatever it ended up being. :) So far so good though...I felt Evelyn SO early, moving around that is, and so far I've just had a very few flutters that makes me do a double check if it's the baby or not, but I'm pretty sure it is :) Other than that and a little prolonging in an upset tummy, the two pregnancies have been pretty similar! (not that I remember very well of Evelyn's but I did keep a good baby diary which I read a few weeks ago and so far, pretty similar!) And luckily I felt super good during our trip to Disney. Half the time I forget I'm prego, which for now is good cuz I've been pretty busy with getting ready for our move and I definitely want to feel good for our long drive this weekend... ugh. no fun there. But we're super excited about moving and super excited about our boy! Mark's already called him that...how's the boy doing? :) Oh goodness...it begins :) I'm excited though, hoping for another red head too! Red headed boys are so adorable. They always get the most gorgeous red hair too! :)

Anyway...I'm rambling and not paying attention to what I'm writing so here's some pics I took tonight for my "gender reveal"! I've been wanting to do this for awhile and was so excited to finally do it! And they turned out super cute too :)

My adorable big girl!

Yay for being a big sister!

Time to play in the sand! She's been wanting to go to the beach for forever and it's actually been hot enough lately to do it but I've been busy...poor thing :)
