IT'S A BOY!!!

"And there is definitely his little penis. I didn't mean that condescendingly... but he is only 10 ounces..." says the Nurse after she breaks the news to us that we are expecting a boy. We were definitely happy to hear that. Even though we are just hoping for a happy, healthy baby...we wanted a boy first and then later a girl so BIG BROTHER can take care of his sister! (above picture is evidence of boy :), it is above the bright white horizontal line, pointing towards top left. ha)

Measurements of the head, leg and torso were taken. Checked for liver, stomach and heart development. The heart was pretty sweet...we could actually see the 4 chambers and how they would contract and expand. The nurse was trying to get us a good profile shot of the baby, but he was not cooperating. He had his back toward Lani's stomach...so we got some real good shots of his spine. 





We know HE will take after his dad...already shying away from the camera (His mom is such a ham that if he took after her, he would have struck a pose!) Picture is of babies hand cross in front of his face...sounds comfy..

Lolani writing now- I have already done a little shopping, are you surprised?!  My little stud will be styling from the moment he comes home from the hospital.  Getting to tell family and friends today was great, everyone was excited for us, especially my 3 year old niece Mia.  She is the tomboy in the family and was quite upset to hear her mom and Nina Bianca where both having baby girls.  Mia wanted to tell Rya (my older god daughter) the news when she got home from school.  Rya wants allll girls so she was not too thrilled with the boy result.  She tells Mia "It's ok, you won't see him that much anyway".  Mia's response "I don't care, I'm still happy!" --- I say that does it, it is time to move home.  The girls know that we are too far and using it against each other, not healthy. :)

Baby's First Cake

Grandma Lamoreaux is doing what grandmas do best and already spoiling our little nugget, she was kind enough to send us a little blanket cake a while back.  This was before we knew what we were having and with 2 grandsons already, Margo was channeling a baby girl.  The blanket is white with pink stitching...soooo cute.  She said either way she wanted us to have it because she really liked the blanket.  We will definitely have to save it for perhaps baby #2 now that we know for sure we are Team Blue.  There are little spoons as candles and in the middle was the bottle.  Inside the big blanket is little diapers and a receiving blanket (holding the diapers was very surreal to me when I thought about how they were for our baby)

Another Doctor Visit!!!!

So we had our 3rd doctor visit today and no matter how bad Lo wants to...we still didn't get to see our "little nugget" or find out the sex! They did tell us blood results came back clean and clear, Lo's weight and blood pressure were great; Everything is going as planned and everything is looking good! So appointments are pretty quick and easy...don't blink or sneeze, you might miss something...the highlight of the day was that we got to hear the heartbeat again! It definitely sounds like a train noise (Nana Venise says a girls sounds like a galloping horse and a boys sounds like a train)...we will see if that is right soon.

Big news since our late post...Lo can now feel our "little nugget" wiggle around in there! She will tell me that "the baby is moving", so I will try to put my hand on her stomach to feel for myself...she just continues to say "did you feel that!" The answer is always...I can't feel it. So she can feel the baby wiggle around (Good!), she can put her hand on her stomach and feel the baby bump and thump around (Great!) but...I can't (Awesome!). Must be too far inside there and she can feel it on the inside and know what to feel on the outside (This kid better hit the weights in there and get those kicks and punches to the surface for Dad)...At least our booger is kickin' and movin' around in there.

We have another scheduled appointment in 4 weeks, same stuff I would guess, body weight, pee cup, belly measurememt, heart beat...but in between we have an outside appointment at another location to get to see the baby and possible see WHAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE!!! It can't go by fast enough for Lo, she really is patient...not!

Hopefully our next appointment will have more great news and excitement to follow. We will definitely share any and all news with everyone.
