It's a........ :)

The long awaited day of the ultrasound has finally arrived! I was almost positive that there wouldn't be a baby in there, or that it would only have one arm or one leg due to my use of chemicals in the research lab... but our baby is just fine! Perfect heart, perfect head, perfect tummy, perfect bladder, perfect little face.... Speaking of faces, it was very fun watching Ryley's face as the image of the baby came up on the screen... I don't think he really believed there was a little baby in there either! Our baby held perfectly still for all of its pictures, but kept its arms and legs stubbornly crossed. We were worried we wouldn't be able to find out what it was, but right at the end, it flipped over and revealed to us that we were going to be the proud parents of a little.... BOY! We are still in a bit of shock over the fact that there is actually a human in there, but haven't had adequate time to recover due to tests, papers, and internships.. I'm sure it will hit us later tonight....So, congratulations.. you will either have a grandson or a nephew! :)

Here is the picture of when he finally turned and revealed to us that he was a he! The scanning made the picture a little blurry, but if you look at the little diamond shape in the middle, it is right on the edge of his little thing. :) This is my favorite picture. It is looking directly down at the baby, who is in a sitting position. On the far right is the top of the baby's head... then you can see his little arms stretched out in front of him with his hands crossed on top of eachother in his lap. If you look farther to the left, you can see the outline of his little left foot. :) This is a picture of the little guy's legs. He had them crossed almost the whole time. If you look at the big black thing in the middle, right in the middle you can see the little butt cheek with a leg and a foot coming off of it, all outlined in white.

This is a picture of the baby's little face. Turn it counter clockwise.. it looks slightly alien-like, but still cute. If you look under the face you can see the baby's two little lungs.
