Fetal Fotos

We went to Fetal Fotos yesterday to see if Mini Martin is a girl or a boy. I checked Jax out of school early because I wanted both kids to be there.
I love going to Fetal Fotos because it's such a fun experience, much different from just the 20 week ultrasound you have at the doctor's office. They have a big TV up on the wall where you watch the ultrasound, plus, you get to find out 5 weeks earlier! The baby was curled up in a little a little ball, the ultrasound tech had to poke my stomach, have me lay on my side for a few minutes, and then poke my stomach some more just to get the little stinker to move so we could see if it was a boy or girl! Finally she got the "bum" shot she needed and we could clearly see that it's a baby BOY!!!!! After we got him to move, we saw several more "boy" shots! We saw his cute little profile, arms, legs, and a nice healthy heart beating! He held his hand up to show us he has all his fingers and even wiggled his toes for us! Pretty cute little toes too!
When she told us it was a boy, Jax stood up and said "YES!!!!!!" He was SO excited!! He said he would have been excited for another sister, but, he is especially excited for a baby brother! Nick and I are thrilled! We didn't have a preference, just a healthy baby, but I have had a feeling that it's a boy. We are going to name him Noah, not totally sure on the middle name yet, but he is definitely going to be a Noah! We can't wait for him to get here in June!
