Baby News!!!


We had our "big" ultrasound today and the verdict was very clear..... (drum roll please)
It's A BOY!
Yes! We're having a baby boy...and I'm so excited and still slightly in shock.
Below is a sampling from the 10 ultrasound photos we were given.

Here's a great view from under the baby looking up. Legs spread apart (see chubby thighs). You'll see the umbilical chord up high, and then a very obvious (to me at least!) "boy part" right there in the middle where it belongs. Clearly a boy. We were lucky to get so many great shots of his manly parts. =)

Here's another similar view/angle with his left leg (on your right) bent. Still a very clear and obvious boy part right there...plain as can see (well, once the doctor showed us!) What a cute little bum!


These are 2 "head shot" photos where the baby is lying on his side. Head is on the right and you can see where his eyes and chin are. In this one it looks like his head is floating above his body, but our doctor assured us that he has a very healthy, intact spinal chord.

She kept saying what a "cute little boy" he is. Well, that made mommy and daddy feel great...especially when to us it looked a bit like Skelator from the face shots. But all is well. He's healthy and developing perfectly. And we're all THRILLED for this new adventure. I'm in my 19th week, so almost halfway thru this pregnancy already. I can't believe it. Thank you Jesus for another miracle!
