Drum Roll please.............

It is a BOY!!!!

Confirmed by ultrasound and Draino we should be expecting a baby boy on May 19th (yes moved up a week cause he was all ready 14 ounces 3 weeks ago!).

The ultrasound was an interesting experience -- full bladders and pregnant bellies do not go hand in hand but I guess it helps them see -- though I expect it would be easy to differentiate between the bladder and the uterus what given that one should have a skeleton and one should not! -- hopefully at least!!

Well we asked the lady not to tell us the gender and instead to write it on a picture and put it in an envelope for us since we had not fully decided that we wanted to know. So she asks us to look away when she is looking for the 'parts' and we do. Then she says we are done and I go to the restroom while she prints images out. When I come back from the bathroom she says she need a few more images so I lay back down and this time I can see between the baby's legs -- and I think something is there.....

So when we leave I tell Leehu that I think it is a boy at which point he informs me what happened while I was in the bathroom. Apparently she started printing the images but forgot to tell Leehu to look away from the screen. So sure enough he is watching in excitement as a proud pappa should when he sees the picture that she labeled "It looks like I am a BOY" comes across the screen. She quickly realizes her mistake as she prints it and moves to the next screen but she is too late. She asks Leehu if he saw the screen and he admits that he did -- at which point she begs him not to tell me ---- so...... A BOY it is!

We will be posting images soon although I must warn that one of them is a bit too close and it looke like Skeletor (for all you He-Man fans) -- big eye and skull but no skin!!! Ahhhh -- hope he comes out better than that!

Belly pictures coming soon too!! I now officially look preggers not just fat! Woo Hoo!

We have another Ultrasound this thrusday to check out Skeletor's kidneys and ensure that they are developing ok. Otherwise all is well -- just trying to narrow down names!

Suggestions will be accepted but not guaranteed!
