last thursday we went for our final ultrasound and saw a healthy, moving baby… legs, hands, mouth and all. to see a healthy baby on that ultrasound is heaven. thank you god for that!!
and we’d decided we wanted to find out, so then it came that moment, “do you want to know the sex?” and of course it all looks like black and white extraterrestrial images to me so we said, “YES!”
BOY.
we’re thrilled.
we didn’t have strong feelings either way so it was welcome news.
he’s (weird, i can say he!) 8 oz. big.
i’m starting to feel “kicking” though it’s super light and i think i’ve been feeling it for the past 2.5 weeks. i’ve gained 13 lbs. so far and get excited everytime i get on the scale.
we’re not sure about names yet though we might let that out of the bag when he’s here.
suggestions?
i’m still pretty small, and i’ll snap a picture of myself soon.
in the meantime, thank you all so much for your congratulations.
we love reading them!
(sorry i’ve been MIA – we went away to a cabin with my family just after our appt.!)

I've been missing you!
And AH YOU'RE HAVING A BOY! I bet Steve is all "Yeah it's because I make boys, hear me roar."
I'm going to try to adopt your feelings about getting on the scale. I've never seen these numbers before and it's disturbing me.

Awww..what a fantastic news..Its a boy!!! I am so excited for you all:) Kisses and hugs, darling
Tucker says
yayyyy bridget and steve!!! Boys are so sweet.
My new nephew's name is Oliver. But then again, they live in London, so that's a very british name i guess.
or you could just name him Tucker (:
I'm sure whatever you pick will be so so cute.
I don't blame you for not telling anyone until you have him … everyone jumped down my sis throat for the names. people are opinionated. she didn't tell anyone until a few days after he was born.
ahhh so excited for you!!! congrats again!!

I'm not sure if you remember, but I emailed you earlier this year when I was thinking about starting my own blog and you gave me some great design tips (thank you again!). Unfortunately, I didn't get around to actually starting that blog until last week! I'm super excited to be rockin and rollin now. Anyway I still LOVE reading about your family and happenings around the Hunt household. Thanks for being so awesome! Looking forward to more baby updates 🙂

Congratulations, Bridget (and Steve)! Whenever my friends get pregnant, I always secretly hope for a boy because they are such fun. I'm really happy for you and can't wait to see more prego pics. And I'm glad you're back, I was beginning to get a bit worried since Ahnika isn't blogging anymore… what would I do if you stopped too???

Jenni Austria Germany says
i'm laughing at megan and sarah's comments. i agree with sarah – name him tucker. that way, when he asks where his name came from, you can say, "well, tucker, mommy named you after one of my favorite BLOGGERS!". exciting, right?
Alycia (Crowley Party) says
SO SO SO SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
Ahn says
you are already a pro with the boys (and clearly steve knows how to reproduce boys well) so i'm pleased. the red bonnet may not be super masculine, but i still want to see one picture of him wearing it.
