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!
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).
Congrats!! That is such exciting news! I have a 2 year old nephew and he’s much fun. Boys are so energetic!
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
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! 🙂
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!
Congrats, Linds!!!! So stoked for you guys!!
Congratulations!! 🙂
Congrats!
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!
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.
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. 🙂
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. 🙂
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!
SO happy for you guys! Little Baby Boy Bean is going to be quite the cross-fitter!
I think the look on your husband’s face says it perfectly!!! Congrats!
Yay – this is so exciting!! All babies are fantastic, but boys are just the JAM. They are so fun! Congrats!
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!
Oh this is SO exciting! Congrats!!! I literally cannot wait until we find out! Another 2 1/2 weeks and counting…
Congratulations! Boys are amazing! Just be prepared for lots of dirt, destruction and more hugs and kisses than you can ever imagine!
Congratulations so exciting!
So fun!! And I have zero advice having just one girl 🙂 Very excited to see your family growing 🙂
I am so excited for you! I love my boys! They love their moms! I wish I were there to help you with household stuff, and care for you. Congratulations! I can’t stop smiling.
Yay!! Congratulations! I am SO happy for you! I totally relate to an older brother to look out for younger siblings. In fact, I hope I get one too 🙂
Yay!!! That Coach clip is perfect!!! So happy for you both!
A boy, a boy!! So excited for you. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when your son looks you in the eye and smiles. It’s something you never forget <3
Our son is almost 10 months – we LOVE having a little boy!!! So inquisitive and social….fun all around. Congratulations!!
Congrats! 🙂 So happy for y’all!
Wow! Congratulations! I know the feeling, even though we had to wait for the third one to finally have the boy! 🙂
congratulations! such a fun time!
Congratulations… happy for you both 🙂
These photos are absolutely priceless. What a proud daddy! Thank you for sharing this joyful journey with us. I’m so happy for the two of you!
Congratulations! You are going to be an amazing mom! I’m so excited for you!
Majo congrats to you two!! 🙂

So exciting! Congrats on your SON!!
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!
Congratulations to you two! =)
aww yayyy!!! huge congrats! I LOVE these pics of the big reveal. so so cute 🙂
What a cute video. Congratulations!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Ahh congrats! That plaid outfit is so cute!
Hugs & congratulations!!! 🙂
Congrats!! So exciting 🙂
How exciting!
We have boy, girl, boy (in that order). Maybe you guys will follow suit 😉
Congrats! Is there anything cuter than baby boy polo shirts? So stinkin’ cute!
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!
Congrats!!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both.
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.
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.
So exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think hubby is glad it is a boy!
Woohoo! As someone who has a protective older brother, I agree. 🙂 SO SO thrilled for you both.
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)
