At the sonogram appointment... We ensured the sonogram technician didn't tell us the gender during our appointment:
The three of us went to breakfast at OHOP, where we opened up the envelope of sonogram pictures that revealed it was a boy! The photos had "BOY" written on them, but it was very obvious from the photos that it was a boy. I cried from overwhelming excitement, which surprised me. I really thought I'd be excited either way, but my reaction was so strong and I realized how thrilled I was that we were having a boy. I knew J was leaning towards wanting a boy, so I'm so happy for him that he got his desire.
Oh, and the other great news is that the baby is (currently) not breech! Not during any of Julia's 5 sonograms did we hear that she was head down, so this was a first. At least we know now that my uterus isn't abnormally shaped in a way that would force the baby to be breech.
We told our family over dinner by having them open gender-neutral gift bags that contained "It's a Boy" cookies inside. Some were in the shape of baby carriages and others in the shape of onesies.
The cousins had blast together running up and down the sidewalk, playing in the car, and dancing like maniacs when we got back to our house. I have a 5 minute video of them all dancing and acting like fools, but it's too big to post. We're so thankful Julia has her cousins in town to play with. She (and we) absolutely adores them!!
YAY YAY YAY for a BOY!!!!!!! Oh I am so beyond thrilled for y'all!!!! That sono picture looks exactly like the one we got of Caleb when we found out he was a boy too! AWESOME!!! P.S. - Those cookies look divine!

What a treasured little boy you will be to all your relatives and to all us friends. I look forward to meeting you this fall. May God bless you with a calm & healthy gestation until it's time for your October BIRTHDAY :)
Yay! And you already have a great name possibility: Powell!! (haha, I am not giving up on that!) Not but really- I am so glad you are having a boy and getting to know the joy of both. He is loved so much already. And Julia looks so cute in the first picture!
