This past week I went to the doctor for my 20-week anatomy scan. Aron came with me and we spent about an hour watching the baby kick about, flip over, and try to suck his thumb. Yep, his. It’s a boy! Aron thinks he caught the money-shot immediately, but it was another 30 minutes or so before there was another chance to sneak a peek.
It’s so nice to be able to talk about those kicks and flutters I’m starting to feel with an appropriate pronoun. And while there are some other cues (I’m definitely beginning to show, now), it feels a lot more real–for both of us–to think about meeting a little fella.

Yay! I have two boys myself, and they are great! You have tons of fun to look foreward to
That is so exciting!
Congrats for the baby boy!
Thank you!! We're looking so forward to meeting him.
congrats! and you look fabulous for being at the halfway point
COngrats! I have a daughter and a son…what a difference. Little boys are way more destructive, and they pee on you…haha. BUT they just totally melt your heart and they are soooo funny p.s you look lovely!
Oh my god! Amazing! Congratulations! A boy! Exclamation points!!! I'm so happy for you guys.
ooooh, so exciting!
Congratulations! It's wonderful finding out the sex – makes name choosing a lot less taxing. I think I went shopping after getting our scan and bought a tiny little baby outfit in pink! Yes we had girls.
Congratulation! Keep happy & healthy! Enjoy the upcoming spring days. Greetings from Prague, Veronika
Oh how very exciting – congratulations! Your readers can't wait to meet him either!

We have a couple we're tossing around! We were definitely glad to have the choices narrowed for us.
his little face is so perfect!
It's all wonderful. Congratulations. I am loving raising a boy. I had no idea what a boy would be like– I have four sisters– and it's so much fun. You look terrific, by the way. Just so you know, my boy is not at all destructive and he didn't pee all over me, so there's not really a need to expect those.
Love the pictures Ashley – of both you and the little guy! Again, so happy for you both…looking forward to seeing you in a little less than a month.
So exciting! Congrats on your baby boy!
Go Team BLUE!!!
