Boy Named Sue

About 30 seconds after we found out we were pregnant I started refering to the baby as "him." I still don't know why, but at first neither of us had a single doubt...it had to be a boy.

A few months in, the doctor told us "I think I see something. It might be a boy! But don't buy anything yet. My daughter had a thing at first, but it went away." So with that news we went home feeling pretty confident in our parental intuition.

The next two appointments were another story. After being mooned via ultrasound during one appointment and another appointment with all kinds of internal visual obstructions we were persuaded that maybe it was a girl.

A little behind schedule, we were set for the 4th try to see who exactly is in there. One appointment, a quick scoot down the hall covered in belly-jelly and two ultrasounds later...we finally had our answer. It's a BOY! Thank goodness for fancy medical equipment. I got to see my insides on a jumbo-tron and what is obviously a boy. Just think - we could have easily been one of those couples who brought a boy home in a pink dress. Can't wait to see him!!
