It's a....

So we all know by now that

 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!  

As soon as the doctor put the thing on my belly I could already tell it was a boy.  It was that instant!  As he moved the camera around more you could REALLY see the shape of the legs and yup...there is was, plain as day! Here is the picture he got, I still think its pretty obvious but it was even more apparent looking at the live picture.

If you can't tell, its looking at the underside of his bottom and his thighs are aimed to the right and there is it right in the middle!! 100% right??

Now, we truly weren't expecting to find out and we did feel like it was going to be a girl so that is why it took us a little longer to reveal the gender. First, we were a little shocked and then we had to come up with a way to announce it.   We had some ideas for a girl but didn't plan for the boy...guess he showed us!

Thanks again to my friend Brittin for the cute reveal idea!! It was fun taking the picture. I should have videoed James getting Cooper to smile the way he was...it was GREAT!  I will say, J was sad at first. He really wanted a sister but he's 4 and VERY EASY to persuade so he is pretty happy to have another brother on the way.

I must admit, first we were a little sad too that it wasn't a girl but quickly got over it and are now thankful to have a healthy little boy on the way.  Now, coming up with a name is going to be the toughest part! We had a heck of a time with Cooper and thats his name because it's the only one we could both agree on, lol.  Plus, James gave ALL his darn names to J, I gave my maiden name to Cooper so I want to have some family name for this baby too and that's going to be tough to agree on.  Good thing we have a while but know knowing us, we will search day and night until we come up with something we both agree on.

Finally, I took my 16 week picture and to me it looks almost just like the 12 week but I'm posting it anyway =) 

Good thing about having another boy is that we have all the clothes, and stuff for a boy. We will just need a few essentials in the beginning...and anymore new things that have come out that we can't live without =).  
Thanks for all the well wishes and I'll update again in about 4 weeks after my next checkup!!!
