It's Another. . .

BOY!

And wow, was he comfortable in there. He had his legs spread wide open, so we were very sure of what we saw.

So sorry, all of you who predicted girl, but you're wrong! We are very excited. I knew it was a boy and I was hoping I was right. Next order of business: to find that small box of newborn boy clothes I know I have around here somewhere, but couldn't find for the life of me when I looked this morning. Where could it be? We only have so many places to put things around here.

We were able to get some good ultrasound images, including a nice profile. While we were waiting for the pictures to be printed, Joel and I talked to some nice women who work at the hospital. They gave us the ins and outs of the new hospital we're going to deliver in, and boy did they ooh and ah over those images once we finally got them. It was kind of fun to have someone besides me excited about the pictures, as grainy and alien-like as they are.

For those of you who like to see ultrasound pictures, here they are.

Nice profile picture.

The face pictures always look so skeletal, but this one isn't too bad.

The technician put two pictures together so we'd have a full profile. I thought it was nice of her, so I'm including it here.

Seeing the baby is always fun, especially now that I can plan for his arrival. I picked up a bouncer seat the other day because that is all we have room for, and I don't have one anyway. I could have gotten one with lights and sounds, but I thought about it and I just know the kids are going to go in and turn them all on while the baby is sleeping. I settled for simple vibration. The best part about this one is that it has a mesh screen that zips over the baby. It will be good for keeping Ashley out!
