It's a boy!

We were so excited to go in for our first 3-d ultrasound on July 20.   It was absolutely the most amazing thing to see this little baby moving around and I would go every week if we didn't have to pay for it.   The ultrasound tech purposely waited until near the end to reveal that we are having a boy!   We would have been thrilled either way, but it was so much fun to know what we were having.   Here are a few of my favorite shots from the ultrasound.

I love this one because you can see so much of him.  As he grows, we will not be able to see this much of him in one shot.

I think he was getting tired of the pictures.  If you look closely, you can see his little fingers spread on the side of his face, as if he is pushing.

Silly little guy was blocking his face with his fist.   Even these 3 pictures show how much he was moving his arms around.
