We had been anticipating our 20 week appointment for so long! Most of my friends predicted that I was having a boy but I didn't really have a feeling either way. I really just wanted a healthy baby, and when the technician typed the words "It's a" on sonogram - and then we saw the letter "B" - we were overcome with emotion and tears of happiness. I can honestly say that it was one of the most exciting/surreal/happy moments in my life. We've obviously been excited about the pregnancy for 4+ months now, but at this moment, it all just became very real. Thinking about the future with our precious little boy is overwhelmingly amazing. 

Now we can officially start planning/decorating (and the extra bedroom/nursery is already painted blue - so one thing checked off the list)! So excited to meet our little man!!

Here is a short video where you can hear the heartbeat : )
