Another boy on its way!!

The minute I found out I was pregnant, I wanted to know if it was a boy or girl. Waiting 20 weeks to find out felt like a lifetime!
We had to have several ultrasounds the first trimester and beginning of our second because of some early on problems. My placenta detached from my cervix and caused lots of bleeding for weeks. We had the ultrasounds to make sure the placenta reattached and that the baby was safe. My last ultrasound I was 13 or 14 weeks, I asked the tech if she could see what the gender was...knowing it was very early I didn't think we would see anything. The minute I asked the baby spread its legs and showed off his business. Although it looked like a boy, she told me it was very early and girls swell during these weeks so it could still be a girl.
This just made me want to know even more, but I felt like it was a boy :) My pregnancy was just too similar to Jaden's, and I know that doesn't mean much and I don't think your body can tell or reacts to what you are having....but it was just how I felt! 
The Jump's have lots of boys which is another reason I figured it would be a boy. Jason's mom and our sister-in-law were convinced it was a girl!
The week finally came and we had our appointment set for a Friday morning. Tuesday I went to Target and went into the baby section which made me SO stinkin anxious that walking out to my car, I called the hospital to see if they had any openings the next morning, and they only had one so I grabbed it!
I hated the tech that did our ultrasound. She was not friendly and seemed like she hated her job. She said she wouldn't look for or tell us the gender until the very end. Of course, the entire time Jason and I both were looking at the screen and three times could see it is a boy. Even when I brought it up she said she won't pay any attention to it. Finally, 20 min later she finished her measurements and said she couldn't tell what it was...without looking. At this point I honestly wanted to punch her in the face. I told her she was killing me and asked if she could look another minute and try to get a picture. Sure enough the little guy spread his legs and was showing off his stuff. My boys aren't very modest, Jaden did the same thing :)
I knew Jason wanted a boy so I said with lots of excitement "did you hear?!! It's a boy Jase." He responded...ya..... He said he already saw it before she told us is why he reacted like that.
At first it was hard to even think of my body producing a girl, I felt like I could only have boys. Now that I know we are having a boy, I can't believe I will have 2 in a row! I know, I'm weird.
We have a long list of names and are very indecisive together so I think it may be a while until that is figured out. Until then we call him baby boy or baby brother.
