It's.....

....a boy!

The Peanut had it's 20 week ultrasound today.  The lady took lots of measurements like length of limbs, heartbeat (145 bpm), head, etc.  We even saw the 4 chambers of the fetal heart, which is different than our heart b/c the baby doesn't use his lungs yet.  After the lady put all of the Peanut's info in, she figured he was 6 inches long head-to-butt and weighed 13 oz.  The due date moved a day early, to August 20th.  

Now we need to start seriously thinking about names.  My friend Anthony suggested the following if we're having a boy - Oliver Klause Hoff.  Just say it a little fast and you'll get it.  Emily also always liked that named Jack, but I guess that's out of the question now.  What funny names can you guys come up with?

We're trying to upload the pictures, but are having a little trouble.  Emily and I are going out to eat at Orzo to celebrate tonight  It's suppose  to be a nice Italian restaurant in town.

Hooray!! Little peanut has an identity. Now we can think more manly for the colors of diapers, sweaters, blankets etc. Although we won't find as cute clothing as if he were a girl. I always thought it would be nice to have an older brother. Well, keep up the good work.

Congrats, you guys!! So exciting. My principal in elementary school, Mr. Hoff, named his son Jack. No joke.
