It's a boy!

At our 20 week ultrasound we found out that our little flutterbug is definitely a boy! Here is the telltale image. We can't tell what it is supposed to be either, but the tech said "there's the penis and there's the scrotum." I was so sleep-deprived that I actually reacted to this news by saying "What do you mean?"


Rob wears a size 13 shoe and I wear a size 12. We got a nice shot of the baby's foot here... think he'll have big feet as well?

At 12 weeks

The 12 week ultrasound was fascinating. We were impressed by the detailed profile of someone who was, at that point, no bigger than a lime. I couldn't feel anything moving in my belly yet, but the little figure on the screen was in constant motion. The tech suspected the baby was a boy, but wasn't willing to put money on it at this point.



This was an interesting 3D shot from that visit.

Then there was you

Our first look would be a smudge on an ultrasound with a tiny heartbeat...

First there was mommy and daddy
