It's a boy!

Oh boy!  We went for our anatomy ultrasound on Thursday and as soon as the doctor put the ultrasound wand on my gooped-up belly, the first thing we saw was what looked like the baby sitting on a piece of glass.  Dr. Read then said, "Well, that's positive for a Cape Canaveral, rocket ready to launch...it's a boy!"  My mom was with us and was so excited, she had to leave halfway through the ultrasound to tell my dad.  She was so excited to see the baby moving around since she said they didn't do ultrasounds much when she was pregnant with me and Bee.  We were all amazed at how much we could see -- we could measure long bones, look at the calyxes of the kidneys, see his little bladder with urine, look at his cerebellum and ventricles, and see all the chambers of his heart.  The good news is that all looks normal, so my Downs Syndrome ratio went down from 1:145 to 1:300.  He wants to do another US in a month to get a better view of the heart.
