It's a Boy!!

The ultrasound went great!  The sonographer went through all the baby's major bones, organs, blood flow in and out of the heart, brain, umbilical cord, his cute little profile, and of course the defining picture that told us yes, as we suspected, it's a boy!  She said everything looked healthy, which is the best news!  He wiggled around the entire time, yawning, hiccuping, bringing his hand to his head, brining his knee to his head for the matter (which Julian then demonstrated he could do too)  and it was so fun to see what it looked like when I felt the kicks.  When she first told us the baby is a boy, my first image was Julian in the kitchen with him, both clad in aprons, with Julian teaching the ways of assembling a mirepoix, adequately seasoning a dish, and getting a good sear.  Of course that's a long way off, but don't tell Julian.

Cute profile

Waving "hi" with all 5 fingers

And showing off all 5 toes

And we hope it doesn't offend anyone to show the picture evidence... it's a boy.  If you get lost, we are looking up, and the sonographer put the cursor pointing towards "the proof."

Profile Progress- Month 5

Made it to 20 weeks- a big week! We're having the anatomy scan ultrasound done tomorrow and the baby will hopefully reveal to us the answer to the big question...girl or boy?  Last chance to take a guess!!  I can't wait a minute longer!

Here's an update on the bump.  Not too too much to show for 5 months of baby growing, but just enough that about 80% of my wardrobe is temporarily retired- kinda like Favre, minus the scandal.  The baby is supposedly the length of a banana or the size of a cantaloupe depending on which source you ask.
