It's a BOY!!
My husband and I were very excited to go to the 3D/4D ultrasound clinic to see baby, and to find out the gender-they won't tell you at the hospital here during your routine anatomical ultrasound, so doing the private clinic is the only way to find out. Here's Doug and I arriving at UC Baby:
My dad came with us, and the rest of the family got to tune in via live broadcast over the net, which was so neat! We have family all over the country, and it was really nice to have everyone involved! So, besides getting to see our adorable little one, we learned that we're having a baby BOY! We would be thrilled with either a boy or a girl, but it's so exciting to finally know, so we can start all the nursery and layette set planning! We also purchased a keepsake video of the ultrasound session, which I highly recommend adding to your package-it shows the whole ultrasound with your choice of music playing in the background (we chose some classic lullabies). We received lots of pics from the session as well-here are a couple:
Baby boy was 25 weeks during his ultrasound. So now, the real fun begins! Here are a few pics of the wall color + curtains in his nursery:
The room was already painted before we purchased the house a few years ago-the previous owner won the home in a hospital lottery, and the designers had already painted this room as a little boy's bedroom (lucky us!). I love the hockey stick detail as the curtain rod...so cute:)
So, now it's all about coordinating things to these colors. Anyone have any ideas in terms of themes/crib bedding ideas? I was thinking of keeping the sports theme going, and getting the crib bedding made in the same colors as the curtains, but also include some fun patterns like stripes, polka dots, etc. to create visual interest. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! I would like it to be a room he can grow into and still be relevant when he's a toddler.
Today we're off to shop for nursery furniture and strollers...I'll let you know how that goes in my next post!
