Ultrasound Results and Pictures

Earlier this week I was able to go with Amy to the ultrasound appointment. First of all, we should say that everything seems great from what we saw and were told. Amy was hoping that the due date would be moved up, but every measurement that the tech took ended up matching perfectly the original due date Amy's doctor gave us at the first visit. Compared to the ultrasound appointment we had for Madeline, this one seemed to be much more thorough. It was probably twice as long, and she took probably three times as many pictures of the baby for measurements and for the doctor to examine.

As for the results, we are expecting a boy come 18 October. Two weeks ago Amy used wives tales to see what it predicted in terms of sex of the child. Her results were split, but from the beginning of the pregnancy she seemed to feel it would be a boy, and it was. We are really excited about the news, and can't wait to see him. Amy is especially excited because she wants to dress our boy "like a little man" since boy clothes are so much more like adult clothes.

Okay, no more writing. Here is our little man...



As you can see, they're pretty basic pictures. It took a while to get them because of the baby's position. For the first part of the ultrasound the baby was laying back with his hands behind his head...just relaxing.

So, we are not sure what we are going to name him; we have a couple ideas, and even an offer to pay his college tuition if he is named after a certain friend of Amy's. However, we are always looking for good --read: serious -- suggestions, so if you have one, we'd love to hear it.
