Right there at the start of the ultrasound the tech said "Did you want to know". We both said "YES!" then she said "Well if you wanna know the parts are right there" and my husband said "IT'S A BOY!!!" There he was in all of his glory, legs spread and the boy parts clear as day!
So it looks like we have a girl and now will add a boy to our little family. I'm shocked and thrilled at the same time. I can't believe my gut was right with Bella and now with this one. We're thinking we're going to name him Grayson Ryan but we're going to keep looking just in case... time will tell. Any ideas for boy nurseries? I found a paint color I love so I'm going to go with that, it's Behr Jamaica Bay and it's beautiful! I thought about a vintage surfboard theme but I can't find anything that has an example of that... We're going to buy an oak colored crib and move our dresser into baby boy's room and then get new furniture for our room.
The OB said my placenta was low lying and they'll re-scan in4 weeks to see if it's moved. It was low with Bella for awhile too... He said to "try to avoid sex for 4 weeks and we'll go from there"... They didn't have us do that with Bella, did anyone else have this happen? Also he said the nightmares are because of my hormones and they are fairly common so he wants me to take benadryl at night for a week and see if I get better sleep... if not we'll go from there.
Our date night was great! We went to dinner and then for ice cream then headed to BB&B and finally found a duvet cover that we both love. https://www.duvetcoversking.net/luella-duvet-cover-set/
We're thinking of painting one wall a deep purple but not too deep because our room is on the smaller side... any suggestions? I was thinking of behind the bed having a 16X20 canvas and putting a big Z on it for our last name and then putting a collage of pictures of our dating/marriage behind it... any suggestions on that? Would it be too "teenagish"? I feel like we have so many pictures I want to display and no where to display them... I want our room to be all about us!
So today we're picking out paint for our room then baby's room and Ryan will be painting them both this week or next week Then we're going to get Bella new shoes (her feet are growing like crazy), cleaning out the spare bedroom, organizing my craft projects and running a couple of errands. Busy day!
Re: We're team BLUE!! and Update
Congratulations!!! How exciting!!!
And I know that Jamaica Bay color...it is very pretty! I think a vintage surfboard theme is super cute idea.
Yay, congrats!!!!!!!!!! My gut is we are having a boy too, but we won't find out until tomorrow AM. That is great news girl!
I have been searching for primarily boy themed nurseries and have come accross some beachy themed ones that I was looking at doing. I was going to go for something like this if we had a boy:
I just love it. So bright and cheery and fun

Yay Sarah! So exciting...and I like the name you've chosen...I hope you keep it!
Love the idea of a surfer nursery...Pottery Barn Kids had a cute bedding set...maybe you can find pieces of it for cheap on eBay? Not sure if you do the whole bumpers + quilt, etc. but things like drapes, crib skirt, etc. can try the theme together without having to purchase a pricey set!
Here's an adorable step-stool that goes with your Big Kahuna theme:
