As the tech was checking the gender to be extra sure before telling us, Chris and I both saw and figured it out, though we didn't say anything to anyone! Jacob definately takes after his daddy, no shyness there! This weekend I also got to go try on my bridesmaid's dress for my cousin's wedding. I ordered it back in October so, needless to say, it's going to need LOTS of alteration! We also had my little cousin's (OK, she's not exactly little but she'll always be bratty cousin Katie) bridal shower. At my wedding she made a toast with a poem wishing us a baby boy. I got her back by writing a poem wishing for twins! And, maybe most fun of all, Jacob has really started kicking this weekend! Last night I could feel him so I had my mom come feel my belly and she could feel him too! I'm so excited that everyone finally gets to experience part of what I'm feeling! It's kind of a let down that now I have to spend today cleaning and doing school work after such a great and fun time Friday and Saturday!

Originally Posted By LadyKluck OK, so LVBelle is having a boy and so is the girl I work with that is due the week before me - this means I've GOT to be having a girl, right?!?!? Not that I would be upset if it were a boy - but a girl would be better! Besides, I NEED to have a girl, that way if LVBelle gets girl stuff and I get boy stuff for gifts we can just trade! (BTW, I find out what mine is on April 12th.)
Originally Posted By LVBelle I can't wait for you to find out Klucky!!! I hope for your sake that it's a girl so you guys can stop fighting over names! I do have to admit that part of me did really want a girl, mostly so I could name her after my granny. But then I cheered up when I realized I wouldn't have to learn how to do hair and Chris would have to handle the birds and the bees talk! lol
Originally Posted By avromark I was just half expecting to see It's... Alive! But at least now you can firm up all your pre baby purchases, and let friends know so those who knit and crochet etc can now go out and buy the blue yarn. Whenever I have my first child, my first child already has a vast array of baby blankies, booties, sweaters etc.
Originally Posted By Ursula IT'S A BOY!!!!! YAY, toldyaso, I toldyaso, ha-ha-ha-ha-HA-ha!!!! I think I need to go to remedial LP, though. Now, I know LVbelle and I trust her when she says those scans are of an actual human baby...but I can't see it!
