It's a...

BOY! Jason and I went to our ultrasound today. Of course I forgot the script for the procedure, so we had to wait extra long. It was worth the wait though! The sonogram tech was very nice. Although she did mess with our heads. She asked almost right away if we wanted to know what we were having. She then told us that she waits until the end to look and tell. About half was through she finally said that she would just tell us what the baby was early since it kept "popping up." She started to move down there, but of course the baby decided to do some flips, obscuring the view. I looked at her waiting for her to tell us anyway, but no, she had the chance to measure the legs, so she did that. At this point the suspense was killing me! I was saying things like, "well you did say that it was "popping up" so I think that means it's a boy." She only kept a little smirk on her face. You could tell she enjoyed torturing us! Finally she got to the goods. There it was, as plain as day, scrotum and penis. There was absolutely no doubt about it. He was spread eagle, letting the girl get a good look. The look on Jason's face was priceless. I could tell he was happy with that news.

So the real reason for the sonogram is to ensure that everything is fine. Everything is perfect! I asked her if the baby was ok size because I am not really showing all that much. She, and the doctor, ensured us that the baby was right on track. Yay! That makes me feel much better.

Here are some pictures that they took. I must admit, I think sonogram pictures are just a bit creepy, but very cool. The tech said that when the pictures of the face are taken, it's like the face is pushed against a piece of glass, so it's all smooshed. We also have a VHS tape of a little bit of the sonogram. Now the trick is getting the VHS tape converted to a DVD. Does anyone know how to do that?




My deepest apologies for not including Jess's name on the attendance list of the people who came to Idlewild with us. I am truly losing my mind slowly. Jess, it was very good to see you again!


This is a picture from Brian's wedding. Jason and Brian were chatting it up during some downtime during the ceremony. I LOVE this picture of Jason.


Jason is pickling a "peck" of cucumbers today...to make pickles. Here is the master at work. I asked Jason how he felt about the baby being a boy...look at the cheeser on his face.
