It's A..... (boy/girl)?

Well, we are finally here.  Just the other day I had my ultrasound! 

It felt like I had to wait forever because according to my dates I should be two weeks farther along than I am but according to the baby's measurements I am just now at 21 weeks.  So it'll feel like 42 weeks of pregnancy to me (if baby arrives on time and not late!).

Thankfully, the doctor said that everything they could check on the baby came out healthy so that was wonderful which only left the mystery of the gender of my little blessing.

Going in to the ultrasound I thought that the little one was a boy, my husband thought it was a girl, and each of the kids thought it was the same sex that they were.

Two of us were right.

Drumroll please.
It's a .....


BOY!

We are all well-pleased except for little Maeva who still insists it is a girl.  Each time we ask her or talk about it she gets a pouty look on her face and says (and does the sign language sign for) girl.  She'll come around though.  She really just wants a baby regardless.

The problem is my husband and I already had a girl name picked out (isn't that how it always works?!) so now we need to figure out what we will name this little man!  But just as we did with the other two we do not plan on sharing his name until his birth - Sorry if you are anxious but we think keeping that little secret is so much fun!
