"Snips and snails and puppy dog tails..."

Our ultrasound went well today...except for the fact that our SON likes to lay with his ankles crossed, knees together and all squinched up. That makes for a very difficult gender prediction! The ultrasound tech made me lay on my right side, flip to my left side, drink a bunch of orange juice, jump around a bit...then we finally got the shot. It was quite obvious, left no room for doubt and was crystal clear that this baby was a boy! Ben's so proud. :) We are so, so, so excited that we have a little boy on the way!!!

Baby's profile with his hand on his nose:Imagine the baby is sitting on a Xerox machine...that's what this shot is. Solid white circles on either side of the boy parts are his hip/pelvic bones:

"Boys are found everywhere. On top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is truth with dirt on its face, beauty with a cut on its finger, wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the hope of the future with a frog in its pocket."
