When three become four

Yep, you read the heading correct - Noah is going to be a big brother!
As we are in week 18 and today we got the heads up at the ultrasound, it is time to announce that we are expecting a new family member. Finally!
Noah is the most excited of us, as he has longed for a sibling. As Shawn works late at night and we don´t see each other that much during the weeks, Noah was even my companion when I took the preganancy test and he got so happy when the result came out positive. Since that day, he speaks to the baby every day. He loves to cuddle the tummy and most of the time he even wants to hug the tummy before giving me a hug! The conversations with the baby is anything from "Hello baby, my name is Noah. I love you!" to what he has been up to during the day.
Noah strongly believes that it is going to be a little brother. He also has decided on a name; Abdul George. Well, we´ll see about that one :-).
Due to this strong belief that it is a boy, we decided to find out the sex of the baby today. However, we got stuck on the bridge in the tram due to bridge opening so we came in a little late and the doctor didn´t have too much time looking around. She could confirm that all looked well, which is the most important anyway and she gave us a qualified guess on the sex. She belived that it may be a girl :-). So no Abdul George in that case..
As I have a low placenta this time around again, I´ll do another scan in week 30 and then they will have a look one more time to try to find out the sex. That still allows for 10 weeks planning and shopping of possible pink :-).
