it's a boy!

which everyone knows by now, but i haven't gotten to share all of my photos and info yet. ok, most of my photos...i am not posting ultrasound pics of his junk. i can't do that to him. lol.

the ultrasound lady told us that everything looks good. we looked at his heart, his stomach, his kidneys, his spine, his nasal bone, his arms, and his legs. she squished the thing around when she was trying to tell us if he was a boy or a girl for a long time, and she didn't say anything. i got worried that she couldn't see it. i said, "...it's a girl?" (not for any reason but to get her to respond.) she didn't reply.

she prodded around some more. she finally froze a photo and typed "baby boy." i couldn't believe it. justin was really in shock because for two weeks he had assured me that it is a girl. for the rest of the time we were in awe over everything we could see and how healthy he seemed to be. we watched his heart beat and saw its four chambers. we watched him yawn. our incredible little gift from God.

and now for some ultrasound fun:


here you can see his good little spine. his face is turned away.

facing the wand. yes, he does look like a skeleton monster, but that's because the ultrasound isn't a real photograph. lol.

just baby sam, hanging out, looking skeletal. :)

with his arm bent and elbow touching his knee. look at that little nose.

sweet little profile and hand under his chin - you can even see his four fingers and thumb.

so we are, of course, very, very excited. we are very, very blessed.
