Team BLUE!! I have to admit, we're in a bit of shock!! Just about everyone thought we were having a girl so when the tech pointed out his boy bits, we were quite surprised. The tech couldn't tell us much but I did ask if all looked okay and she said that she saw everything she needed to see but the radiologist will review it tomorrow (and yes, we had a scheduled u/s on a Sunday... odd, I know) and our OB will call us if there is anything unusual but she basically indicated he looked good.
We are now discussing names as we had only picked a girls name.
I'm having a son ... holy moley!

Re: We are ....
Congrats on team blue!! Boy names I think are much easier to figure out than girl names which probably means I'll be team pink but I LOVE James and Jackson for little boys.
