It's a...



BOY!

Had the ultrasound yesterday, and its definatly a boy!

It was a pretty long ultrasound, the new doctor is very thorough. She checked to make sure he had a 4 chambered heart, that he had all parts of his brain, that his spine looked good...and of course we looked for all fingers and toes! She even looked at his diaphram and lungs. Everything looked good and normal. He was even measuring a little big, she said. This could mean he's going through a growth spurt right now, and doesn't mean he's going to be a big baby. In fact, up until this ultrasound, he'd been measuring smallish.

She did have some troubles getting images, especially when she was trying to look at the heart. He was head down, and sitting diagonally across my belly. The way he had his neck crooked, it looked painful! But she finally got what she needed, and he was generous enough to give us a good view of his "stuff". I was worried he'd be turned weird and it would be hidden!

Stephen was on the phone with me, and my parents came along. I think he was slightly disappointed at first, he wanted a girl, but I think that passed. It was a surprise, everyone was getting it in my head that it was going to be a girl! At first I really wanted a boy badly, then I warmed up to the idea of a girl, so it didn't matter either way to me, I was just glad to hear he was healthy.

Now the journey to find a name begins...
