20 Week Ultrasound: Boy or Girl?

We had our twenty-week ultrasound a few days ago. The baby is healthy and well.
We also found out the baby is a

BOY! We're excited. We were surprised with Bailey but wanted to know the sex of the baby this time. I wanted to know mostly because I felt so strongly at the beginning of the pregnancy that the baby was a boy, and I didn't want to be totally thrown off if it ended up being a girl. Also, it'll be nice to have the room set up and clothes bought. The ultrasound went well. The baby was sucking on his (weird to say HIS!) hands almost the entire time. I would think that was a pretty common thing with babies, but the ultrasound technician kept laughing and saying that was the funniest thing. I guess he's a more dedicated hand-sucker than most.


We got to see him swallow a lot of fluid--it's crazy how you can see the tongue move. We got to see him kick a little (but he was pretty calm through the entire ultrasound). And we also got to see him deal with a bout of hiccups. The next pictures taken of this baby will be taken by us. We can't wait.

You look so tiny! Maybe because by comparison I look so huge...

Congrats on a boy! How fun!

This is the most amazing post ever. Little boy Lewis is the CUTEST thing in the world!! Bailey must be so excited to be a big sister (I crack up every time I think of when you told her she's getting a baby brother in the car and she started acting all hyper). You look AMAZING Berk!!! So, so gorgeous. You are such a cute preggo girl. We are SOOO excited for you guys and CAN'T WAIT TO see your little BOY! BOY! BOY!!!
