*Bryan was coming up with ridiculous boys' names the night before our ultrasound because he was so sure it wasn't a boy. Fozzie was inspired by Lucy's muppet bandaid and is now the boy's cool nickname until he joins us and we give him a real name.
-At our gender ultrasound, we were truly surprised and so excited to find out we're having a little boy. He was very uncooperative in getting profile pictures and kept moving around. He is measuring 2 days early and is in the 51st percentile in growth. He was only 12oz a that time and everything looked great! Here are a couple pictures from his 20 week visit:

I'm a boy! 
Our first boy purchase picked with Lucy's help right after the doctor's appointment.-I'm feeling him kick all throughout the day now. He's a mover and a flipper! Bryan finally felt a little bit of movement but it's still fairly weak feeling from the outside. At about 23 weeks, he is the size of a grapefruit and around 11 or 12 inches long now (depending on who's family he's going to take after of course.)
Lucy Update:
-Lucy's been settling in at preschool even more and we couldn't be happier. She's learning so much and has been telling us about: cutting/pin punching, magnetic and non magnetic, letter sounds, continents, east and west, and her math beads. She's absorbing so much and after having our first Parent-Teacher conference she confirmed what we've known all along--we have one smart girl! Ms. Robin told us she's doing work that she usually doesn't get out for the 3 year olds, and that she is making sure she finds lessons that keep Lucy challenged. It's so fascinating watching her learn and grow these days.

Lucy's world maps she pin punched, cut out, and arranged by herself!-Lucy got to be a flower girl in Aunt Blair's wedding at the end of September. She did a great job even if she got a little cold feet right before her big debut. We all had a blast celebrating Blair and Anthony, and Lucy felt right at home following (now) Uncle Anthony and Aunt Blair around the whole night trying to play with them (thanks Anthony and Blair for paying special attention to her even though you had a lot to do that night!).
Happy fall!
