Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

That's what little BOYS are made of!

We went to the doctor this week for our checkup and to make sure the baby had all the organs and everything was fine. The ultrasound tech asked us if we wanted to know the sex of the baby and of course we said yes! We were so excited to finally see our baby again. We hadn't seen it since our 8 week check up and that seemed like forever!! So as we are in the room, the lady looks at the head and the brain the heart and then finally she said, "Are you ready?" ummm.... YES PLEASE! ok first I have to tell you that everybody has been asking me what I think I am having, and I guess this is a question that most pregnant women are asked. So Blake asked me this as we were on our way to the hospital and this is how I put it to him... I told him that if they tell us it is a boy then I honestly wont be surprised, but if they said that we are having a girl, I will be shocked. Because I haven't felt like this was a girl once. All along I have been calling it a him and saying that we are having a boy. Been looking at boy bedding, already had a boy name. I know it will be a boy! And sure enough... call it mother's intuition but I was right! We are having a BOY... Cale Mason Allen is his name and I cannot wait to meet him in May. soooo back to the ultrasound... she finally went below the belt and said well it is definitely male! haha Blake was pretty excited about that! :) So everything is looking good for Cale! He did not want to show us his face a lot but we got some pictures, and that little boy did not want to roll over so we could see his spine. So since he didn't roll over we are going back on Dec. 27th to try again! Which Blake and I are pretty excited because we get to see our little man again! It's hard to believe that we are half way done with the pregnancy, and that we already know the sex of the baby. Today we ordered his nursery furniture through AAFES, which is the px, we had to order it early because it could take up to 12 weeks to get here! Well that is about it for now, cant wait until February to come home and see all the family, and eat all the good food! (can you tell I'm pregnant and craving stuff I cant get here in Germany?) :)
