It’s a Boy! If you follow me on social media, you already know…because we just couldn’t wait to spill the beans!
We had our appointment Monday morning and everything went well. We asked them to put the boy/girl pic in an envelope for us and when the appointment was over, we went out to breakfast and opened it.
Hubby has been saying boy since the beginning and he was thrilled. The look on his face when he opened the envelope was absolute joy. So priceless.
I’m happy as well. I would have been happy either way, but I’ve always thought if I was going to have a boy and a girl, I’d prefer to have the boy first – protective older brother for the win!
After breakfast we spent the morning shopping….I got some maternity clothes and we picked out a few outfits of baby as well!
We also totally randomly happened to watch an episode of Coach on Monday night that totally related to our day. This is pretty much exactly how hubby reacted to our news:
You should be able to click the embeded video above to hear it. So funny.
So there you have it! Let the name planning begin 🙂 We’ve actually started looking at names and have several boy names we both like…so I think it will just be a matter of narrowing it down.
That’s all for today! Moms of boys, feel free to leave your advice, recommendations, send clothes and toys (kidding!) We’d love to hear it!
Enjoy!

Wahooooo! Congratulations! I’ve found lots of cute boys’ clothes at Gymboree or Crazy 8 (Gymboree’s sister store, but a little cheaper). Carter’s has some cute stuff too, but I find it’s kinda hit or miss. Have FUN!
Mary @ Fit and Fed says
How fun! Here’s my mom of (grown) sons advice: try to enjoy the ride. And leave your son intact (not circ’ed). I’m sure he will appreciate it both when he’s a baby and when he’s a grown man. As a midwife in training the only time I almost fainted was when I saw that procedure for the first time with the infant strapped down and screaming helplessly in pain. Had to leave and put my head down. And the pain of recovery from that is not what a newborn needs as part of their introduction to life (nor do the parents need the extra fussiness).
Polly @ Tasty Food Project says
Congrats!! That is such exciting news! I have a 2 year old nephew and he’s much fun. Boys are so energetic!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
So happy for you! I was wrong with my prediction – being a boy mom is awesome! Baby William & baby bean can be baby dude friends now hehe
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes says
Wow congratulations! I’m due in September with my first baby and we found out that we were having a boy too. Such exciting times! 🙂
Linz @ Itz Linz says
Oh ya – in terms of cute boy clothes – rompers are the cutest! Sleeveless rompers are adorably cute but any rompers are fine! But I would get them starting at 3 months cuz we only did sleepers and onesies at newborn since he was so small he needed to stay snuggled and warm!
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
Congrats, Linds!!!! So stoked for you guys!!
Lisa @ Life as Lisa Knows It says

Danielle @ It's a Harleyyy Life says
Congrats!
debikayo says
Good morning and congratulations. I raised 3 boys and I just say hang on and enjoy the ride!! My boys did all sorts of things with us inside and out, they fixed things and did yard work, and they know how to do laundry and cook. There was a lot of messes and a LOT of joy. And my daughters in law thank me for raising such well rounded guys. 🙂
MOSTLY, do things that you think are right- listen to your gut and and your heart when it comes to raising a child. DON’T let other’s opinions sway you if you feel that something else is right. You know your child the best! Have a wonderful pregnancy – enjoy every step of the way. Take care!

you know i am so pumped! congrats!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Congrats Lindsay! So happy for you guys! As a girl with an older brother, having a protective older brother growing up did have his advantages, for sure.
Sally Kuzemchak says
Congratulations Lindsay! Honestly, having two boys has taught me so much–and not just about Star Wars! Boys really do approach the world differently. And though they may be louder and more active than many girls, my boys are also sweet, thoughtful, and sensitive. Also, boys love their moms something FIERCE, believe me. 🙂
Maryea {happy healthy mama} says
Congratulations! It’s so much fun to know the sex of the baby and start buying gender-specific things. Those little onsies are adorable 🙂 I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing. 🙂
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
Yay!!! I’m so excited for you!! Can’t say I know much about raising boys, but we all figure out this parenting thing as we go along. 🙂 Congrats again, Lindsay!

Nicole @ Pumps & Iron says
Congrats Lindsay!! I’m older than my brother and always wished the birth order had been reversed–definitely could have used a protective older brother keeping me in line throughout high school haha 🙂 Enjoy this exciting time–so happy for you and your husband!
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says
Oh this is SO exciting! Congrats!!! I literally cannot wait until we find out! Another 2 1/2 weeks and counting…

Congratulations! I’ll keep you updated on all things boy after my guy is born (hopefully within the next 12 days…come on little guy! COME MEET US!) My husband said he didn’t have a preference, but when he read the envelope that we were having a boy he was ECSTATIC. Lots of football naps this fall for sure!

Terita says
Congratulations on your BOY!! My first is a boy who is three now, and I have a girl due in October.
Here’s my little bit of advice: don’t listen to the stereotypes and blog posts about raising boys: your son will be an individual. You’ll have so much fun! Oh, and breastfeed on demand! Congrats!
Taylor @ LiftingRevolution says
Congrats!!
Danielle says
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both.
Lauren says
WOW, so glad I hopped over to your blog. I have 2 boys and a boy puppy and my husband is one of 6 boys (and 1 sister) so I’m biased but boys are the best. Let me know if I need to send any small hockey sticks/skates. Fun, fun. I LOVE that you found out when you were alone that weird doctors office moment was never my favorite. Enjoy, feel good and names fun fun.
Sue Alton says
My niece has four boys and today they poured a whole box of Cheerios on the floor and sucked them up with their mouth like a vacuum. Be ready for all kids of antic like that, congrats to both of you. You will be amazing parents! Can’t wait to see baby bean grow up.
Jody - Fit at 56 says
So exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think hubby is glad it is a boy!
Elle says
Woohoo! As someone who has a protective older brother, I agree. 🙂 SO SO thrilled for you both.
Amalia says
YAY! Congratulations! Boys are so fun! I didn’t have an older brother but I sure could have used one some days (although my little brother did a pretty good job at the protective thing)
