We're having a BOY!

Today was our 20 week appointment and sonogram. Although, I am actually 21 weeks and 2 days today. We found out we're having a little boy. We are so very excited about our news and can't wait to actually start planning for his arrival. It's so nice to be able to say "he" and not wonder if we should really being saying "she."

On top of that news, we also got to see how he's developing. The doctor said his head and abdominal section are growing at the right rate. We got to see his heart and the four chambers that have developed. It was a relief to see them all working together and properly formed. What a miracle! His heart rate was 162 which was a little up from our last couple of visits which were consistently at 160 each time. The doctor said that we should have expected to see the heart rate to go down this month, but since he was so sqirmy it was okay. Our little man is already in training I guess.

Also after reviewing his measurements, the doctor said that I am actually 22 weeks and 3 days instead of 21 weeks and 2 days. She said that we would still go off our due date of June 20th but that the computer could possibly read an earlier due date because boys grow a little faster than girls. But I just look at Tony and think well I am married to a big guy anyway so we might be making a big little guy too.

Here are some pictures of our day at the doctor.

This is certainly a picture that he won't appreciate us showing, but its where the proofs at that...IT'S A BOY!

He's looking right at the camera in this one. You can see his heart too. It's the black spot in the middle of his white chest.

Here's another picture of his face. We wish he would have turned on his side to show us his profile too, but again he was a little squirmy. We were just excited to see his little face.

This is a picture of the bottom of his feet. I guess he has 10 toes? We only hope!
