It's a...

BOY!

The best part of my 31st birthday (today) was having the hour-long look at our little baby boy, Sawyer. Truth be told, he wasn't very cooperative, even though Jacob had a good talk with him last night and asked that he would be. The first 45 minutes he kept his legs together so we couldn't get any glimpse, and with luck, the last few minutes he let us have a tiny peek. So we're 85% sure he's a boy and just going with that! If we have another ultrasound and it says differently, or if he shows up in person as a girl, we'll address that then! Luckily for me, I've been a nanny for 11 years and spent many days with girls and boys and I know that both are tons of fun (though each has differences that are especially fun!) Maybe eventually, we'll have both. But for now we are getting geared up for our baby boy, and SUPER excited about it!




P.S. Check out the super-cute bedding we ordered for him tonight!

Congratulations! I always think that everyone should have a boy first, since I was an oldest girl and I always wanted a big brother!

Hey, congratulations. This is really exciting. I originally wanted to have a girl first, but I am really glad that we had a boy. He is heaps of fun and I have also heard many others say that it is nice to give any future daughters a big brother, so that's a good bonus.

Unfortunately, Jacob, I have been trying those father to son heart-to-hearts since day one as well, but have had very little success. It's almost like he doesn't understand anything that I am saying. I hope yours is less unruly.

Congrats!!! And I love that name!

I am so freakin' excited for you guys! I can't wait to see your little baby. And Sawyer is such a cute name...I think it will forever remind me of "Lost", though. Hopefully your baby doesn't end up being a con artist who lands on an island used for social, electromagnetic and genetic experiments. I guess we'll see.
