Finding out the sex of the baby!

16 weeks...

Today we found out the sex of the baby! It wasn't easy though...Jon tried EVERYTHING to get the doctor to do a sonogram so we could find out the sex of the baby...asking, begging, pleading, finally he even jokingly busted out a $50 bill. Keep in mind, this is the same Jon who originally said that he didn't want to find out the sex of the baby until we actually had the baby! Ever since we found out I was pregnant, he has been NUTS about finding out the sex of the baby. Well we finally ended up having to pay a little extra to get a non-routine sonogram done today, but it was completely worth it. We asked the sonographer not to tell us during the actual sonogram, but to write it on a piece of paper instead & to put it in an envelope for us. We wanted to open it at home together later that night. But no...of course, Jon couldn't wait until the evening...he wanted to know right away. So we opened it today around lunch time, and saw this: (just a warning, if you click on the picture, it may appear very LARGE on your screen)

Needless to say, Jon was instantly jumping up and down with excitement (and actually still is). We are both so excited to have a little baby boy!! We can't wait...little footballs & toy trucks all over the place! At this point, he wil most likely will be named Reed Rymsza. Not certain yet though...

Jon is already talking about buying him Cubs hats, and playing football, and fishing...and all kinds of stuff! And as of today, everything that the sonographer could see looked very healthy - the heart, brain, kidneys, etc all looked great.

Thank you all for you continued prayers for a healthy growing Baby Reed Rymsza. He weighs 4 ounces as of today!
