We're having a boy!

Yes, we had it confirmed yesterday when my other amnio results came back with the ALL CLEAR!!
I had guessed already, to be honest, because they didn't test for Turner Syndrome which only affects girls.
Absolutely thrilled to bits - Ellis will have a wee brother and, with any luck, I will be able to remain blissfully unaware of Disney Princesses and the latest Bratz fashion trends! Because I'm not planning on having any more - I don't think my decrepit old body could cope!
Now to think about names....we're thinking about Lucas or Eoin (pronounced Owen) but, as with Ellis, all that may change...(Ellis was very nearly Caleb, right up until the last minute)
Only the heartscan left to go now; but MW had me on the doppler yesterday and babs sounds fine - more serious conditions can usually be identified by a heart murmer, but all sounded great (and very emotional - I've not heard his heartbeat before, just seen it on the scan).
I think my parents are going to be a bit disappointed, they have 3 grandsons (soon to be 4) and no granddaughters, and were really hoping for a pink one; but to be honest that's their problem, not mine. After everything we've been through with this pregnancy, just knowing that the little chap seems healthy is wonderful news for us.
So go on, get your blue wool out, LOL!!

My little one is called Ash Lucas. I wanted Lucas for a first name but I have a cousin called Luke so thought it too similar (plus my mum kept saying it rhymed with mucas ...
