The Big Reveal

That title makes me laugh because it seemed like a "big" reveal.  We went to the routine 20 week ultrasound with all five kids in tow.  I was nervous to take them all because it seems like these days you get a lot of looks and comments if you have more than 3 kids and I just wasn't in the mood for it.  Lucky for us (me) the waiting room was empty for most of our wait.  The ultrasound technician was nice and didn't mind one bit to have a grand audience.  The kids were well behaved.  There's usually a 50/50 chance that one or more will be squirrely so I considered myself pretty lucky.

The technician asked us if we wanted to know the gender.  Yes.  So she got started.  Well, about 5 seconds into it we all see "it", but no one says a word.  She checked the heart.  Then moved on.  It was pretty obvious.  No mistake about it and that's why the title makes me laugh. :)

Kaden and Tye wanted it to be a brother.  Rachel, Haley and I'm told Eliza wanted it to be a sister.  Nate guessed boy and I guessed boy (fully expecting it to be a girl).  I was completely surprised to be having another son.  Of course, I would have loved a girl, too.  To even the numbers just seemed really nice, but almost unrealistic.  Everyone is thrilled... even the girls.  We went out for ice cream afterward.  Those who guessed right got a slightly larger serving and dear old mom got some much needed french fries!

We are so excited to meet this little guy!  Now on to names.... I'm stumped.
