Last Tuesday, we had an appointment in Havre for another ultrasound, with the hope that we would be able to find out the sex of the baby. Luckily, Sprog was not shy this time.
The first first shot we got was a butt shot. And it was pretty obvious there that we're having a little boy! Roland Mykle is the name we've decided on. It might change, but I think we're pretty set on it. Roland is an old German name meaning, 'Renowned Land.' And Mykle is pronounced Michael. It's the way one of our dear friends spells his name, and I've always loved this spelling of it. The more we talk about it, the more I love it.
It was pretty funny. My mom was with us and asked the tech, 'Are you SURE it's a boy??' (she had her heart set on a girl too.) It took us almost an hour to get all the shots we needed...and it was pretty clear that he was still a boy. He just kept flashing us! Guess he's gotten over his shyness?
Knowing that we are having a boy is a little scary, to be completely honest. I somehow convinced myself it was going to be a girl. Don't get me wrong...I'm thrilled to know that Roland is healthy. But boys are a lot scarier than girls, somehow. Despite that, I'm getting really excited...just knowing what we're having is a huge thing for me! It gives me something to look forward to until we actually get to meet the little guy.
He has been super active lately. It's crazy to feel him kicking and squirming. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but it's still a pretty amazing feeling. I gripe about it a lot, but secretly, I don't mind it at all. It reminds me that he's there and that he is healthy and safe. It's funny, sometimes when I'm bending forward he gets really cranky and starts kicking the crap out of me. Good to know who the boss in this relationship is...
And the exciting news from today? I'm 27 weeks! Every day takes us a little closer to S-Day (Sprog-Day) and I really can't wait. 13 more weeks and we'll have our beautiful baby boy!
Who wants to take bets on if I can get everything done by the time he shows up? ;)
Can't speak for anyone else, but if we're taking bets, I'm betting on you.

Boys are easy. I have 3 girls and each one is more difficult than the last. my Son isn't hard the toughest decision I had to make was the Circ. We went with it because Daddy is. So Enjoy your baby boy and if you need mommy helps I'm here for you.
