It's A Boy!

Nick and I went for an ultrasound today.  Nick took a whole day and I took a half day off work for the event. After much coaxing, our little guy finally cooperated.  The tech said everything looks very normal and right on track.  The baby is breech today, but they often flip several times before the home stretch.  Here are some pics of our little man.  For those of you that think ultrasound pictures look like those magic eye posters from the early 90s, I'll try to describe:

 This one is baby's head and side of face. She told us he has a cute little chin.  Evidently when you look at grainy black and white images all day, you know what a cute little chin looks like.

This one is harder to see.  He is looking right at us.  This picture is taken like we are looking directly down at him.  On the screen, we could see the eyes really big.  It's very light, but his left arm is up next to his hand and his fist kept waving to either say, "Hey, what's up?", or "I'm going to punch this chick that keeps pushing on me like that!"  She kept poking him to try to get him to open his mouth and yawn.  Instead he kept twirling his tongue around in his mouth like he was telling her off.

This one is supposedly the proof that we have a boy.  I don't see it either.  His bum was wedged way down in a crevice so she kept pushing to get him to bounce up.  When he finally did, he put the umbilical cord in the way.  Then he stuck his hand down there.  We should have known right then and there that it was a boy. She finally got good enough evidence.  I have no idea how she sees some of these things.

Our little guy was very active in there.  She had to retake pictures several times because he would not hold still or cooperate.  Let's hope he gets that out of his system now before I really start to feel him kicking.  Speaking of kicking, this kid has some serious long legs.  She was looking at the bones in his leg and then he shot it straight out and she had to move the wand way up to catch the end.  

After getting our pictures, we took a trip to the outlets to check out the baby stores.  We finally could walk  in and know which side of the store to go to.  Now that we know.....registry is comming soon.  Watch out Target registry gun...I'm back!

I still have an updated belly picture to post, but if I don't post this blog now, Grandma Linda will have a fit.
