It's a.....

I have so much to blog, however one thing trumps all other news for us right now! We had another ultrasound done yesterday and we were able to find out what we are having!

As of now, everything looks really good. The placenta is attached on the right side, but high and the baby is growing and moving around like crazy! Karsyn got to come with us and she wasn't sure what she thinks of this whole thing yet. Kaydree was so bummed that we didn't take her out of school for it and now I do regret that decision! It was the coolest most detailed ultrasound that I have ever had. Karsyn saw that I was crying and asked why. I was just so amazed at how this almost 3 inch baby could be seen so clearly. Kicking, moving, waving, rolling and looking at us! It was sooooo neat. To watch its little legs kicking and crossing and scrunching up was so unbelievable! We could see the individual chambers of the heart and could see little bubbles in its stomach and the technician said, "That is a sign that the baby is swallowing!"

The technician asked us if we wanted to find out the sex of the baby. Benjy said, "Yes. Well I guess I should ask you, Kristen, do you?" Ha Ha.... So she looked at the internal organs and said, "I wouldn't paint a room based off of this, but it looks like a boy." She went on to measure some other things and then came back down to the legs and just then the baby opened its legs and she said, "Oh boy, it's a BOY!" She froze the picture and put a square around two little round shaped items and said, "Those are definitely boy parts!" The heart rate had dropped to 144 so I was thinking it was a boy and this pregnancy has been sooooo different from the girls, so now everything makes sense! I am really excited, Kaydree is really excited, Benjy and Karsyn....well they are still getting use to the idea.

BABY BOY VILLARREAL!

I bought some little boy shoes from my cousin Sam a couple of years ago and I just couldn't part with them yet, so now I know why! I put a pair out on the front step for Kaydree to find when she got off the bus and then hung a pair from the door handle. It was so funny to watch her pick them up, turn them over and stand staring at them. Then when she went to open the door and she found another pair, she yelled out, "We're having a boy! Yay!" The girls get such a kick out of little boys and they make the girls laugh so much that Kaydree said, "I think there is going to be a lot of laughing in our house!"
