In SHOCK!!!

We had our 3D sonogram today. Mid-pregnancy we were told girl but today... we found out we are DEFINITELY having a BOY! I'm floored, shocked, excited and just shocked. After three princesses we're having our prince!

The technician said this is so rare for this to happen with our technology now and was just as excited as us! She kept grabbing my arm and grinning and laughing with us. My mother-in-law started jumping up and down and dancing. Everyone thinks we're trying to play a practical joke but we're not!

They were wrong at the first sono! Baby is a BOY! Eek!!!

I'm still in shock!

kitkat- no nursery ideas or names or anything. I'm still processing, LOL! But we'll get to it. Right now I can't do the nursery anyway until Zoë moves into a big girl bed and to a new room! I was going to paint the room a light blue anyway but now I'm not sure what I want to do. Ahhhh! Wasn't prepared for this but at least I found out before the birth.

wow -so happy for you - any healthy baby to a huge blessing but when you get exactly what you want it is just beautiful.  Your little girls will love him and in about 13 years time he will love all their friends lol. Hints for nursery - i did transport for my little man and he is 2.5 now and still loves his diggers, tractors, trains, firetrucks and choppers.  So many cute options out there so have fun deciding.  I have done one gender neutral for first as it was a surprise, one transport for little man as we found out the sex and with this one i have left it bare as we are having a surprise and if it is a girl i would love to be able to do the whole girly thing.  Good luck and great news.

Thank you all! I'm still in shock. I keep looking at the sonogram pictures! I just don't get how they missed it the first sonogram because he is definitely a boy. Ah well, at least we know now!!!

Oh and I must add that I was just as excited about having a girl when I thought he was a girl! A healthy baby is truly all I wanted. But I am thrilled for my husband especially because he has wanted a son since before we were even married. His dream is coming true! He was also excited when we thought baby was a girl but this will be the first baby to carry on his family's name; all his other brothers don't have babies yet (one does have a baby on the way and they'll find out what they're having next month) to carry on the name!

LACh - I haven't even begun to peruse baby boy nurseries! I'm going to do that now!!! Knowing Daniel he'll want footballs or sports or something. We'll see! I'll keep you all posted or you can follow my blog (first comment on this thread has the link)!

Ya know! When you posted awhile back for guesses on the sex of the baby.  I believe I said Boy :)  I guess I just had a feeling too!!!

Ooh I may do a rocker/skull themed nursery! I am not exactly a mainstream momma; I like alternative stuff. Then again rocker and skull stuff is becoming very trendy. My husband is a musician and singer (and absolutely amazing; find him here http://www.facebook.com/waitinghere - there's a music player as the most recent status update. It is a worship band.)

So anyway it might be footballs or music! We'll see what Daddy thinks!

Nope, no names yet. Well we want Isaac for the middle name but no first name. We have a few ideas but nothing concrete nor anything that just screams at us, "This is the name!!!" My head is still reeling! LOL!

Nickie - it IS strange because the other sonogram did look like a girl. But he had his ankles crossed and a sonogram technician said some boys "drop late". Not entirely sure why that would affect anything but who knows.
