It's a Boy!

Well we went to the doctor this morning full of water and McDonald's Sweet Tea hoping Baby Reynolds would cooperate. At first he was not wanting to let us get a good look and the umbilical cord was between his legs so it was difficult to make a prediction but our fabulous ultrasound tech was determined that we weren't going to leave the office without finding out what we were having. She had me sit up to try to get him moving and I told her I had a Mountain Dew in my purse just in case this happened so she told me to start drinking it. I downed about half of it and we went back to looking. This time the baby was a wiggle worm and the cord had moved. After a few minutes she got a good look and said IT'S A BOY! We couldn't believe it but were so excited! Our little Marshall Abraham is a whooping 14 ounces which the doctor says is the 95th percentile for this stage! She was unable to get good measurements of organs and such today but will try again at 28 weeks. As soon as the appointment was over we headed to Cracker Barrel to meet both our families to reveal the gender. We had framed and wrapped an ultrasound picture for his mom and my mom with the baby's name on it.

Everyone was anxious to see what they were opening.



The Reynolds clan figured it out a little quicker than mine.



It took a little explaining for my mom. :)



Once she figured it out she was surprised!

My nephew Wyatt is SO excited that he is finally getting another boy in the family to play with...he is the only boy so far.



All in all it's been a great day and now we can start planning for our precious little Marshall!
