Oh boy, here we go ...

Thank you for all the kind and encouraging words.


And for the votes: we had an even 50/50 on guesses between girls and boys but we are pleased to announce that we are having a



BOY!



The doctor was pretty certain. We made sure :)

Mike and I are thrilled and nervous---how in the world do you raise a boy? It's like having a first child all over again in a way. Fun! and Crazy!  It's still sinking in for both of us and the girls think it's the best thing ever.

I will finally get to go use some of the tote of boy clothes I've been hoarding down in the basement!

And here are some first pictures of our handsome little man---cause I have no doubt he will be...

Be prepared for some amazing ultrasound shots--I was.

 profile 2D

 whole body shot 3D   head on left, arm bent with hand on cheek, legs curled up on right

3D of baby's face--you can see eyes, nose and mouth fairly clearly. Better on the actual picture though.


We are excited and hope the next half of pregnancy goes quickly--though I know it wont for my aching body :)

Thanks guys!
