I had the big 20-week ultrasound this morning and confirmed a sneaking suspicion that we're going to wind up the family that just keeps having kids hoping for a girl. By that i mean of course that we're thrilled we're having a little boy and truly i wasn't surprised, but we did hold out a little hope that a girl was in the cards.
Of course the important thing is that he looks great, everything was the right size and in the right place. Also, now we can essentially use everything for the new baby that we bought for Henry as they're both going to be spring babies, so even the clothes should work out right. There are just a few things that we need for the new one, so i've updated the "registry" link on the right-hand side of the page if you're interested.
Now we just have to get Henry to clue into the fact that he's going to be a big brother. The Ped. recommended getting some books and babies and being a big brother and just trying to talk it up. She said he wouldn't ever really get it (until it's too late) but that you can get him excited and comfortable with the words, even if he doesn't really grasp their meaning.

Yeah! Another baby boy! I can highly recommend 2 boys! Love you all.
Congratulations to you, JT and Henry! Now he will get to be the big brother. Love, Gran
Congrats! I can't wait to see you this week-end!
Just start talking about the baby and get him used to the idea even if he does not respond. We got one book and read it every other day. By the time Helen came, Carys was happy to be a big sister. Also, you will set the stage when the new baby comes. As always it's an interesting learning experience.
