It's a...

I went to the dr last wednesday and I had to have an ultrasound done to check on some cysts I had on my ovaries (which are gone by the way, so yay!) and the tech said that the baby is measuring big and they think I'm a couple weeks further than they originally thought and so she could tell what the gender was. She asked if I would want to know and I told her no because Rob wasn't with me and she said that she would take a picture of it and put it in an envelope for Rob and I to open later.
I called Rob to tell him what had happened and that we would be finding out today and of course he was so excited that he left work a little early.
When he got home we opened up the envelope together and had to look at the picture pretty hard to see what it was but there was a funny little arrow pointing at something tiny and under that it said...
IT'S A BOY!!!!!
Rob was jumping up and down and I just kept repeating ''it's a boy'' because I couldn't believe it. It is what we really wanted. We are so ecstatic to be adding a little boy to our happy family! It is going to be so fun to change gears completely and do the boy thing this time! I'm pretty nervous cuz I feel like I am pretty good at handling a girl but life is all about change and finding new things in life!
So now the great name debate begins... His first name will be Robert because Rob is Robert the third so we will carry on the tradition. He will go by his middle name though, if we ever decide what that will be. :) Any ideas?? I'm up for suggestions!

Yeah!!! SO SO SO excited for you guys! How many weeks along do you think you are then? Ah...boy names are so hard...I have about a million girl names but only a handful of boy names I like. What about Dayton? Dayton Peck. (sorry, I'm a nerd and have to tack on the last name so I can feel if it flows! ha!) or Grayson. or Luke. Good luck! I'm sure you'll find the perfect name!
