Pictures!

Chris told me I need to write too.
First of all here are the pics from our ultrasound today....

It's a BOY!!!!

 Here are some of the pictures closer up. 

This one is of the face. His eyes are on the right side of the picture, mouth on the left. He kind of looks like an alien. haha. He had his mouth open. This is the very first shot we got of him.

The one below is the defining picture. Chris loved the fact that we had to spend so much time trying to get a picture of his face after the first one, because he kept covering his face with his hands. However, he wasn't very shy about showing us that he was a boy.

We had a good time at the doctors today. At first our little boy was very cooperative. I drank orange juice before we showed up but we ended up having to wait for about 20 min before we actually got the ultrasound so I think he was just starting to calm down from the orange juice by the time we got in. After the first couple pictures he raised his hands up and kept covering his face. After taking pictures of the rest of him our technician came back to try and get more pictures of the face. He would not cooperate. She spent what felt like ten minutes, poking and prodding me trying to get him to move. It was not very comfortable. Finally she said I needed some sugar to get him moving, so Chris went and got me an orange juice from the vending machine. I chugged the whole bottle and promptly felt very sick. (I'd been feeling sick from her prodding anyway). 10 minutes later she checked and he had started moving up again so we got a couple more pictures that she needed. 
One really cool thing about the ultra-sound was that we could see his heart beat (I keep almost writing the baby, instead of him or his. We are having a boy!) It was really neat to visually see the his heart pumping his blood.
Our little boy is one pound three ounces and he is right on track for his weight and size. He is about the size of a spaghetti squash. We also found out at our last doctors appointment that I'm right on track for size. Which is always nice to know. : ) 

By the time we were through I was ready for bed. I think we were in that dark room for about 30-40 min. Plus I was laying down most of the time not moving. My body was thinking, this is a great time for a nap. Chris had to work pretty hard to convince me to come to the library to blog before I went home to lay down. haha. 

I guess that brings you up to speed. Chris is much better at being detailed and telling a narrative. Sorry about that. : )
