So we went for our BIG (official) ultrasound today. As you know we were told it's a female (but she said it was too blurry).

Naturally after finding out we went out to Babies R' Us to buy some girl eskimo coats for alaska, so the last thing we were expecting today was to see a 5th limb.

IT'S A BOY!!!

We saw several pictures, so she's positive this time that it's a boy. Ryan said he saw "the rocket" right away. I had no clue.

I'm so happy!!! Mr. Joah is going on and on about how his boy is going to be "Mr. Tough-guy." hahaha

These are TERRIBLE pics because we can't find my scanner (it's in an unopened box), so I had to take a picture of the sonogram we got.

"Jordan Ryan..." is sucking his thumb.

I didn't believe the tech doing the ultrasound and she could tell because she kept saying, "here.. let me get another picture so you can see for yourself." Laughing

WooHoo! That was exactly what I had predicted for you was a BOY!! Not that I was disappointed that you were having a girl, cause I wasn't, but I thought I had lost my baby predictor intuition!

I'm very happy for you and daddy, Jo! Smile

Yay! Trust the mother's instinct.

Um, you kept the receipts, I hope.

Jordan might feel a little silly in a pink eskimo coat. Very Happy

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thanks everyone. I can't stop looking at the picture. We called everyone and now they're not sure if they should buy anything because we may tell them something different again. haha

Well, I told myself not to buy any clothes that are more than $10, so a lot of the clothes I got was from Ross (each piece is like $3). I think I have the receipts for the Babies R' Us coats we got.

Husband wants to go and get an army uniform for baby boys. oh boy... lol

Onesies are unisex. Buy everything green and yellow, just to be sure.

Yep.

And red, we got a lot of red, works either way.

Blue too for that matter.

And orange.

OK, the only thing we avoided was pink. (Maybe THAT's why she's so fixated on it now...)

I definitely have heard many, many mistaken identity stories -- sozlet was ID'ed as a boy by one ultrasound, girl by another. I know people who were absolutely 100% sure about one or the other and then were shocked when the baby actually arrived.

Red's nice. :-) (I seem to give out red overalls with a white t-shirt to go underneath fairly often to indeterminate newborns-to-be...)

Yep, my daughter came home from the birth center in a red fleece outfit that had been her brother's. She still looks great in red.

We avoided pink too and just like the sozlet, ducklet loves it. Though she'll often accept red for a substitute.

I remember bitching non-stop about the limited pastel colors that seemed to be all that was available for babies. I don't know if that's changed or not.
