boy, oh boy!

yes, we are very happy to share that we are going to have a boy this june! he is very active and very healthy. out of consideration for him i will not be posting the money shot of his boy parts. lets just say that the tech assured us there was no doubt about him being a boy. and even without any training, i could clearly see that this baby was a boy - we got a great profile view too.

madelyn didn't really care too much (there was a large basket of toys in the room) until the end when she stood on the chair next to me and pointed at the "baby" saying that "yes" she could see him moving. she kept looking back and forth from my belly to the screen so i think she was a little confused about what was going on. she did give me a lot of hugs during it though.

for some reason i was much more emotional this time than i was with madelyn. i think that i was just so happy for matt - he really wanted a boy this time. he was even looking at the boy bedding at babies-r-us this weekend.
mostly, i am just happy that he (the baby - not matt) is healthy and all his measurements are right where they should be. i could feel every kick that i saw on the screen and he was moving around the entire time. apparently he favors his belly. the tech had a really difficult time getting him to roll over for the heart pictures. unfortunately they switched machines and we were not able to get a video like we did with madelyn. oh well.

so there is our news (with pictures). now i need to finish up my packing and get to the airport. love.

Congrats! Happy you'll have a complete 'set' now :) I bet Matt's happy to have only one wedding on his hands- for now.
Thanks for getting the news out today- I was thinking about it all afternoon and was chomping at the bit as I put the girls down- wanting to get to my computer to check.

Congratulations! Chalk it up to toddler intuition I guess.
