It's aaaaaa ......

Well last night we had a little scare.  I had some bleeding and today when the doctor's office called to give me the results to my tests and cultures (still no STD's - go figure!), I told them about it and the doctor wanted me to come in for a more complete ultrasound.  So, off we go to Mandeville again.  In the u/s we saw all of the cranial bones (awesome!), the feet and hands and tooth buds AND it's still early, but we saw a boy package!  I know it's not a fool-proof way of telling the gender, but our instincts were telling us it's a boy, so until a later u/s show's something different, we are having a son!  I will post the beautiful picture tomorrow.  I wish I had asked for a picture of the cranium.  When I took anatomy in school I was obsessed with the skull.  All you A&P'ers know what I mean!

(Left) The bright white spot on the left is the back of the baby's left heel. The next white spot below that one is the back of the right heel.  The right butt cheek is turned down and not seen very well.  So, the u/s tech was pretty certain the stuff in between is boy stuff.

(Below) Picture of baby facing face-down. The head is on the right.

I am glad things are well and congrats on a boy!


Thank you, God, for blessing us with a successful full term pregnancy and for helping me recognize and receive your guidance and healing power as our baby grows in my womb.  I know that we are being blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby, and I thank you for your loving presence in our lives.  Amen.
