It's a Boy!

One of the key and huge things that happened in California is that we went for a second ultrasound. My first one through the doctor's office was interesting because the baby would not open his legs (little punk) so we couldn't see what we were having. We decided to look up the 3D and 4D ultrasound places and there was one in Rancho Cucamonga for a really awesome price. Well, when this girl was doing the ultrasound, we could tell right away that it was a boy.
So excited that we're having a boy. It makes figuring out his name a lot easier. Rick is a second, so we are naming our boy after Rick. Richard Evan Chappell III.... Yeah, but we're going to call him Evan. So I am really excited about our little Evan, and have started registering at places for him.

Besides the picture that told us the sex of the baby, she showed us a bunch of close ups of his face and body... it was totally weird seeing it in 3D. When she first showed me his face in 3D, I was like, "ewww.. he looks like an alien." She just laughed and said that they get more normal looking on the 3D screens at about 26 weeks or so. I was only about 21 weeks at the time, so I still have a ways to go. Anyways, you can see some humanoid features to the baby. AND he's a thumb sucker already! Had his thumb in his mouth almost the entire time!

ALIEN BABY! Look how huge his head is compared to the rest of his body. I am so glad that he will be getting cuter than this (hopefully) before he leaves Mommy.

Eyes, nose, mouth, face, ears. It kind of looks like he's smiling. I hope he's smiling... that or he has a wide mouth. Anyways, it seems like Evan is having a lot of fun. He is always moving and swimming around. He's all over the place! And he likes to kick! I love it when he kicks hard (right now at least) because it makes me proud of my boy. He's going to be a great soccer player! I am at 23 weeks now!!!! Less than 4 months is my due date. I know that it will be coming really quickly! It's kind of weird and exciting at the same time! Scariness isn't a biggie right now, but I am sure it will be in the upcoming months!
