Week 20: It's a boy!

Yup that's right! It's a boy! And I'm sure as all of you probably know by now, we've decided on the name Noah Daniel Baily. We felt Noah was cute for a baby and will grow with him as he get's older. We think that's important.

We were ecstatic to find out that we were having a boy, not that we wouldn't be if we were having a girl, although now everyone can rest assure that the Baily family name will now go on another generation! Ha! The pressure is now off.

When the nurse was looking to see what the sex of the baby was she was having a hard time. His legs were crossed at the ankles and he had his legs closed tight. She laughed and said that he was being shy. But after me laughing a bit about that and her nudging him with the ultrasound wand thing, he eventually opened up a little to reveal his little secret. She asked us if we wanted to guess, and it wasn't all that clear on the ultrasound (as you can probably tell) but I thought I was seeing... 'stuff' there so I guessed it was a boy and she said "yup you sure are right!"

Daniel is very excited and happy to have a son. And I am too. Noah's cousin Carsten will be a year older than him, but we are hoping they will become best friends! And they should! I'm sure they will be getting into trouble together in no time!
