Snips and snails and puppy dog tails....

....That's what little BOYS are made of!!!

Yes, we are having a boy. Only 8 people were right! (I was not one of them). But we are soooo excited! It's just nice to know, and to know that he's healthy. They checked for cleft palate, club foot, likelihood of Down's syndrome, and he doesn't have any of them. His heart rate was good and he even waved! (Well, he looked like he was waving anyway). So yea for boys! My sister just had a boy, so they'll be about 5 months apart; Jeremy's cousin is due in January with a boy (3 months apart) and Jeremy's other cousin is due just a couple days before us! They're still trying to decide if they want to find out. You should Robert and Melarie!

So here's pictures of the little guy's first photo session:


Nice profile picture; you can see his little nose and mouth!
Yep, it's definitely a boy. He wanted to pose and make sure we knew so his mommy would stop calling him she. Oops!
Another picture of his boy-ness. (Jeremy's proud of his little boy...ridiculous...men).
And another side shot. You can see his arm there on the side.
So we are so happy! They gave me a CD with 28 pictures on it. Pretty cool! They also moved my due date up one day. So, April 17th it is. At first she said the 15th, (they do it based on measurements) but she said one was a bad measurement, so she threw it out. So Friday is my half-way mark. Crazy!

We're so grateful and are so happy to have this little boy inside me. :) Thanks for reading!

Yeah another BOY!! We are so excited for you guys, as I read your post and all the babies your families are having I read "cousin in Jan. is having a boy.." and my dumb pregnant brain was like "Who?" and then wait for my 2nd thought, "Mel and Rob are having a Boy too!!!" I am so darn slow. :) Anyway congrats on the new pictures of your little boy. They are the best and it makes it more real.
