We are having a big, healthy, baby...

Today was the big day! I LOVE getting ultrasounds around this point in pregnancy, because the baby is fully formed but still small enough to fit on the whole screen. I might be a tiny bit biased, but isn't this baby cute?!

Yes, the baby has arms - you can see the hand up by the head.

The girls and Davis came with me to the appointment. Sophia was mesmerized and loved it, but Amelia was busy cramming the little rolling doctor's stool into everything in the room and then crashing and pulling it over on herself.

When the tech first took a look, she said she just couldn't tell whether we had a girl or boy. Then she measured the baby's head and belly and everything else before looking again. And that time, she saw it

We're having a BOY!! She looked a third time and said "yup, it's there!" I know that's a horrible picture - she got some better glimpses, but he was moving around so quickly, she couldn't get a good picture.

We'll check again in four weeks but both the tech and the doctor were pretty convinced.

We are over the moon excited! We are most happy that baby looks perfect and healthy, but also excited about adding a baby brother to our family.

Boys are alot of fun!! Congrats!!
I have a boy...after helping raise 2 granddaughters. Boys are so much different...a little onery-er! I'd always heard this, but I never believed it until I had Caleb! My grandduaghters were obstinate, stubborn, picky, messy, but I couldn't believe what a difference there could be!!

Congratulations on your little man, Vera! Now you will have to introduce some little boy toys into that house of yours. I have a feeling he will learn to play with dolls though. :)
