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!

Carolynn you tell Baby "Wil" Loon that he can not come that soon. His uncle wants him to wait till the end of may. LOL Love the story btw and C'grats looking pregnant instead of fat. LOL I don't believe that Leehu just happened to see the sex. I think he forced the tech into telling her....or at least bribed her.

Hello Wil! I love the Skeletor reference because that's exactly what I thought when I saw the young lad!

I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!

Also I hope your little man is not as evil as Skeletor!!!!

I hope that he is as evil as skeletor -- think how cool it would be for him to have a talking cat and his own castle! Also Baby "Wil" loon can't wait -- mommy is getting to big to have to deal with that for too much longer than early May!! He is all ready 1 lb 4 ounces -- and btw that all has to come out somehow--- OUCH! And I agree that Leehu -- aka Mr. Diabolical --did threaten the lady to tell him under penalty of death!

Good point Momma Loon if Baby "Wil" Loon has a talking cat and a castle that would be primo! In addition I didn't want to admit this but Leehu broke my elbow the other day at lunch over something petty like not giving him the ketchup quick enough. I never seen such evil in a man's eyes before and therefore it would not surprise me if the Baby "Wil" Loon is as evil as skeletor!
