It's A Boy!

What are little boys made of?

"Snips and snails and puppy dog tails,
That's what little boys are made of!"

We went in for our elective sonogram on Saturday and they told us we are having a BOY! It was a pretty neat place in Redondo Beach. The room was large enough that we could have invited our entire families to come and find out the news with us and even watch the live sonogram on a flat screen tv on the wall. With there being a chance that we wouldn't find out and both of our families being from out of town, Dave and I went in by ourselves with the promises that we would call immediately with any news. The tech started looking around and figured it out pretty quickly, but our little guy was not completely cooperating for the picture taking process. He was hanging out pretty low and upside down! She asked us to walk around, have some lunch and drink some liquids and then come back. We came back with full bellies (and a very full bladder!) ready to take some good shots! She definitively said that we were having a boy and showed us some great views on the screen. We're still having a bit of hard time finding them again because it all just looks like blurry white blobs to us, but we just have to trust the professionals! We left with a handful of pictures in a bright blue bag and the knowledge that in five short months we'll be welcoming a little boy into our home.

I promise to post some more exciting things soon, but these pictures are just so amazing to us right now. This is not one of the ones with the view of our little guy's parts, but this is a cuter picture! He sure is getting big!
