Looks pretty good, doesn't it?
And this is the moment we went "ZOMG! THIS BABY HAS A..."
"... PENIS!"
ZOMG WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!!
PS: If we're friends on FB, please don't post anything on my wall yet. We've still got a few people we want to tell...
Farewell, nesticle, you will be missed

Re: Cake, anyone?
Thanks ladies, we are pretty stoked (though if I'm being 100% honest, I'm a little scared of the unknown that is having a boy - but hey, I'm sure I'll figure it out
). DH wouldn't admit it before, but he was hoping for a boy this time,.
Wash, I find it hard to compare staying Team Green vs finding out the sex at the a/s. I feel that finding out in the delivery room was such a special and intimate moment with my husband, whereas the way we did it today was more like an awesome party (only we kept it really intimate and only had immediate family there with us).
I loved being Team Green with the girls. I loved the wondering, the anticipation, that magic moment in the delivery room when they tell you "Congratulations, it's a girl!". Plus, being team green for the first two times meant I had to stick to more gender neutral things, in case I were ever to have a boy, which I am.
Finding out surrounded by family was also so very special. Everyone laughed and screamed and it was just such a happy moment and I am really thankful I was able to share it with my close ones. I don't think I would have gone that route if it had been my first, but DH and I already got to keep that moment (finding out the sex of our baby) to ourselves twice already, so we thought it'd be nice to include our family this time around.
Sorry this doesn't answer your question as to which I prefer, but I will say this: both (finding out or not) are totally worth it
Awww, that is really sweet!!
I wanted to be team green this time around but, I am already having a hard time with it haha!
I'm so freakin' happy for you I could cry. You have an amazing little family and you guys deserve all the wonder and trouble and magic that comes with another little one.
Congratulations Family Ha!!
Can't wait to see his birth story!!
Does he get a cool name like his sisters, or does the tradition differ with boys?
Yay!!! I love, love, love your expressions. Your H's especially!
I'm wondering the same as J&K does frere (sorry no accent) Ha get a name en Francais also??
I promise it's not that hard
With the girls, every time I'd go in for an u/s, I'd tell the tech as soon as we walked into the room and that was it. Once the words were out of my mouth, I would have felt silly going back on them, YKWIM?
I'm not even sure DD2 understands what's going on, so I doubt she really cares at this point. lol
I think DD1 would have been happy either way. When I'd ask her if she thought the baby was a boy or a girl, she'd go back and forth. I think she was just really excited to find out, regardless of what it was. I also think she now thinks that to find out the sex of a baby, all you have to do is eat cake. lol
Couldn't bold, but the TROUBLE part really made me laugh. Right now, I just feel sorry for the little dude. I can't imagine what it'll be like for him to grow up with TWO big sisters to torture him. lol
As for names, he's definitely going to get a French one and a Chinese one.
For the Chinese name, we will follow the tradition where kids of a generation all share the same part of their first name. That's the easy part because we already have a list of names that the family put together for us. I ask DH what each name means, then I pick out the ones I like, and he makes the final cut.
As for the French name, that's a whole 'nother story. By far one of the hardest thing pregnancy related for us. I have a feeling this baby shall remain nameless until he is born. lol
Hopefully, it'll be either one of the two following scenarios:
Everything happened so fast after the pitocin kicked in, this baby came flying out before I could even ask for the epidural
OR
The epidural ROCKED.
lol
Also, that latest ticker of yours has got me all excited!
I think my mom truly would have been happy either way, but my dad was really stoked to have a grandson - and so are DH's parents.
