No more waiting...it's a.......

Our little boy is healthy and quite a show off. There isn't much doubt that he's a boy. The ultrasound was very detailed, taking measurements of his arms and legs, head, abdomen, etc. His heart was beating at 146 beats per minute and you could see all 4 chambers and the mitral and bicuspid valves. We saw his bladder, kidneys and umbilical cord. Everything was normal and functioning as expected. He was moving his arms and hands a lot. He is a big boy, measuring a week ahead. I don't believe it will change our due date but might indicate a bigger baby come August. Yes, this scares me. It was great to see our little baby...doing what he's supposed to be doing...growing and preparing for August.

Boy names...haha. We don't do well with boy names. Going to the hospital to deliver Lily we had about 5 boy names. Luckily we had a girl and used the one name we had decided on. Now we are in trouble. Hopefully something will come along that we will love like we love the name Lily Joy.

Hooray for boys!

Woohoo! Congrats! How fun to have one of each, huh?

I hear you with the names. We have a really hard time coming up with boy names. We've really only thought of one that we like, and we were hoping for that reason that we wouldn't have boy/boy twins! Thankfully we dodged the bullet on that one. :-)

Though I was tempted by one of the students I work with... Thorvaldur Thor Thorvaldsson. He's from Iceland. His name is Thor, for crying out loud! Love it.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. What a treat for Lily to have a baby brother. We will all have such fun playing with your sweet baby boy.

YAY!!!

It's about time...I was starting to wonder what chemicals at ARL were yielding all the girl babies. :) Can't wait to hear the potential boy baby names as they're generated.

Matt would vote for "Othar Trygvassen" if given the chance, but I'm pretty sure you'll shoot that one down.
