Doctor appt today!!!

.
Well today we went to another doctor appt today at 9;30 this morning. I get soo nervous before my doct appts that i feel like i need to use tha bathroom or i need to throw up. But this appt went really really good!! I had an ultrasound first and the baby was 3 times the size it was 2 weeks ago, its absolutely amazing what our female bodies can do. Anyways, they did all the measuring and she asked us if we wanted to know what the gender was and of course we said yes. We werent sure they would be able to tell because im only 16 weeks but the anatomy was there. There was definitely some junk in between the legs, which means.... its a boy!! we are so excited! Bryce went with us and got to see the baby on the screen and couldnt believe that was the baby in my tummy. But then we had to tell the dreaded news to Bailee who was very insistent on it being a girl. so we picked her up from school and had Bryce tell her, she of course didnt believe him and we had to tell her it was true. So her response was, " well, mommy when you have the next baby then that one can be a girl." So I guess she's not gonna give up on the idea of having a sister. We are gonna name him Lincoln so its fun to know and be able to call him his name and say he or him and not it or baby. Everything else in the ultrasound went great and theres no complications at this time. I go again in 3 weeks for my big ultrasound where they actually measure the legs and arms and check the face and head. we are extatic that everything is going so awesome, any prayers or thoughts that anyone has had for us is truly a blessing and we are very grateful

Welcome to the world of "boys and noise". You will see how they can be! K, I dont mean for this to be a poem.... really. Just congrats!!!!!

Congratualtions!! It shouldn't be a surprise it's a boy. I don't think Porter genes allow more than one girl. Maybe next time you can break the trend!! I like the name too, but was shocked it wasn't a name that started with a "B". Cute though.
