It's a boy!!!
I actually must say I am a bit surprised by this. Although I have been telling myself in my mind all along that it's probably a boy, somewhere deep inside I truly felt like it was a girl. My intuition is officially wrong in this department because I have been wrong with each one of my kids.
This marks the beginning of chaos in the Hicks' household (as if we weren't really there already). Things on the ultrasound looked good and we are so thankful to have what looks like a healthy baby so far. Plus, we know how to do boys already, right?
My deep heart's desire is to still have a girl one day but we will take it one child at a time. Who knows, if we try again maybe we'll have boy #4! Our doctor told us about a family she worked with during her residency who had 3 boys and were going to try one more time for a girl. In God's great irony, they ended up having identical, triplet boys!!! Not only did they not get their girl, they doubled their boy population :).

Here are some pics of the little guy...his profile looks just like the other two boys in their ultrasound pics (but secretly I think almost all ultrasounds look alike). In the first picture he is waving (you can see his little hand). And sorry to be offensive, but you can see how "clearly" we knew that it was a boy. This was actually the first thing that popped up on the ultrasound screen!

YAY YAY YAY Congratulations!!
You guys and my brother and sister-in-law... She's due with her 4th soon, and I'm sure it's a boy (they don't find out ahead of time). They just don't make girls. :)
And happy birthday! I cannot believe it's been a year since we celebrated your birthday at your parent's house.
