It's a...

Baby!

So we had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. Since we had Andrew with us, they wouldn't let Aaron come into the room until the last few minutes of the scan. The tech tried to tell me the gender before she even called him in, but I was patient and asked them to wait. And...

It's a boy! Andrew is going to have a little brother! We are so excited to add another little boy to our family.  (Poll results: 56% of you guessed correctly!)

We had a bit of a scare when the doctor called yesterday to tell us that the ultrasound had shown low levels of amniotic fluid and they wanted us to go to a specialist for another scan. Low fluid levels can mean a lot of scary things so we spent the evening worrying and googling. Fortunately the specialist was able to get us in today. And also fortunately, there is plenty of fluid around the baby. Copious amounts, actually. So all the worrying was for nothing- presumably the first sonographer just did a bad job. 

So anyway, our second little boy is looking healthy and we couldn't be happier!

What a terrible scare! I am sure it is a huge relief that everything is alright! Two boys is a lot of fun!!

Yay! I am so excited for you! I absolutely love having 2 little boys and wouldn't change it for anything. They are the best of buddies (of course with some competition.) It's going to be great having 2 boys!

So glad there wasn't anything to worry about. Scares are no fun!

Glad everything actually turned out ok! Too bad Aaron and Andrew couldn't sit in with you though! It is a fun thing to be able to do as a family, but at least he got those last few minutes of the scan.
