It’s a BOY!! Baby Name Reveal

It’s a boy!! I’m so happy and excited to finally share with all of you that we are having a baby boy this April. From the start of this pregnancy things were totally different. My first pregnancy with my daughter Sky I had morning sickness from about 7 weeks all the way until 16 and this time it wasn’t anything like that. I felt a little nauseous in the evenings sometimes before bed but nothing in the morning or during the day. I had a similar amount of fatigue but that was expected, especially with a toddler. Overall I just felt different, it’s hard to explain but it was a feeling that I felt from the start. So with all of that I kept thinking it could be a boy and I also wanted it to be a boy so bad since we only plan on having two kids, I wanted one of each.

We went to an ultrasound office at 14 weeks to find out the sex but the baby was too small and wasn’t in a good position (which is what I figured but we went in anyways since if they didn’t find the sex our next appointment would be free) so we made another appointment to go back two weeks later. The next time we went I was 16 weeks, so we went in and the tech started looking around and baby boy was being very stubborn sitting with his legs crossed and hands behind his head like he was relaxing at the beach or something!

The tech kept trying different angles and having me lay in different positions and we still couldn’t get a good look so she had me get up and walk around and told me to do some exercise moves to hopefully get the baby in a better position. She left the room for a little and so I started jogging in place and dancing around with Sky who was looking at me like “what is going on here?” Luckily the office is super kid friendly and didn’t mind her walking around and they had toys there for her to play with. After about ten minutes the tech came back in and started looking again and as she kept taking a bunch of photos I felt like I kept seeing something…if you know what I mean, I started getting excited but I didn’t want to get to excited in case what I kept seeing wasn’t what I thought. But moments later she confirmed what I felt like I knew all along which was that we were having a boy!

Once we found out we were having a boy we immediately started talking about names. We had a list of boys names we liked from before we found out Sky was a girl so we went over those but we weren’t drawn to any of them like we were before…or at least I wasn’t. I through out a couple of new names that I liked but my husband basically shot all of them down. The one name we went back and forth on was Lux, which I fell in love with as soon as I saw it but my husband wasn’t a fan, I tried to convince him but we ended up dropping that name. After not being able to come up with anything else we liked we went back to our original list and decided to go with a name from there. It was actually the name we were most likely going to use if Sky was a boy. The name we decided on is

S T O R M   E M M A N U E L

We love how different the name Storm is and how well it goes with Sky’s name. We chose Emmanuel as the middle name because it’s my husbands middle name as well as his dads, so it’s been passed down for another time.

We can’t wait to have our son as a new addition to our family, he’s already so loved and I can’t wait to see him and Sky together, it’s going to melt my heart I’m sure.
