The Big Reveal!
We went for our ultrasound today at 9:00 am. They measured the baby first (the head is about 3cm right now and baby is about 5 inches long!). This ultrasound is neat because the baby actually looks like a real person now! We were able to see all of the bones, including the spine, arm, and leg bones. The face was the best though!
After looking over the baby to make sure everything looked good, it was time to find out who was in there! It wasn't as easy at it sounds! Baby had it's legs crossed! It took a few minutes- a few coughs from Lindsay to startle it, and the doppler being bounced around on the belly with the hopes of making the baby squirm. But it was sound asleep with a hand up near the face (so peaceful!). The technician was quiet but persistent on getting a peak. She had been told that the baby's grandparents had just flown 800 miles for this moment! "Do I see a pee pee?!", asked Lindsay, who had been studying other ultrasound images over the last few months. "That's what I'm seeing." said the technician. She looked a few more times, and there it was! Definitely a baby BOY! "How sure are you?" asked Lindsay's dad. "Well, if I were you, I'd be going out and telling all my family members that we're having a boy!" We all shared some tears and hugs, and then went out to celebrate!
His name? We've kept it a secret up until this point, but we're ready to share... He will be called Owen Patrick. We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little boy!
