Oh BOY!

We had our ultrasound appointment on Tuesday, July 20th and she confirmed what we already suspected..
It's ANOTHER BOY!
Trevor and I both felt like it would be a boy, although during the last few weeks, he changed his mind and switched to a girl..which made me start to waver.  I should have never doubted! 
The tech who did the procedure was new and in training, so I am hoping her assessment was accurate.  There was a more experienced tech standing behind her and watching over the ultrasound and she sounded positive it was a boy.  The little guy had his legs all curled up and made it hard for us to take a peak. 
 Here is the only "boy part" picture we were given:
Which generally would make me a little nervous cause it doesn't seem like a very clear shot, but supervisor tech said she was sure so I guess I will believe her and prepare for a boy (which is really no preparation at all since the room & accessories are already blue and we have TONS of boy clothes, obviously!)

We haven't decided on names for sure, but so far we like Adam Trevor.  We'll see if another name finds it's way to us that we both like!

The boys were really excited, even Jacob who had originally requested a girl. I asked him what we should name our boy.  I was expecting some names of his friends or names that would actually be useful.  He came up with Kyva and Mocaba (characters on Yu-Gi-Oh).  I revoked his baby name suggestions privilege at once! 

I'm interested to see how Hunter handles a new baby. He acts excited but I don't think he really understands how much spotlight this baby is going to take over.   Jacob had a hard adjustment and it took me a few years and looking back at his behavior during that time to realize how much it affected him.  We heard from a family member that even after Hunter had turned 1 year old, Jacob told them, "I hate babies.  I want to kill them."  We were not in the room when it was said and were just told this recently when it happened 2 years ago.  Apparently he didn't take the new arrival as well as we thought.  So we'll try and be a little more sensitive of Hunter's needs during that crazy time!  Poor Jacob is always the one we learn (and make mistakes) on!!
