Our son

We went to get our ultrasound today. The tech showed us pretty convincing proof that we are having a boy. I still wish we could hedge our bets, because I would hate to prepare everything for a boy and have the baby turn out to be a girl. However, I'm pretty convinced and so is Kylene.

On a different note, the 4D ultrasound is way cool. The techie in me wants to know how it works, the father in me is amazed by the results. The 2D ultrasounds were a neat connection to the baby, but this almost looks like a photograph. Well enough chatter, take a look for yourself.

Our anniversary present

Today Dave and I received an early anniversary present. We went to the doctor for what we thought would be a quick visit......"How are you feeling?"......"Do you have any questions?"........ "OK lean back and we'll listen to the heartbeat (160bpm) and measure you". As Dr. Knapp was measuring me we were asking about the elective 3D/4D ultrasound. Which he thought was a good idea since I'm not high risk and we know the baby is healthy. Well if any of you know how things usually turn out for Dave and I, you'll know something was bound to happen. As it turns out I was measuring about 2wks ahead of where I should be. So now instead of having an elective 3D ultrasound done we are getting to have one done that is covered by our insurance. But the funniest part of this little story is when it is to be done. Its is scheduled for our anniversary. I don't think we could have asked for a better way to spend the morning of our anniversary.

P.S. We also hope to have another gender check....Because there is no mistake seeing it in 3D....As long as baby Cleaver co-operates.

Gender Bender

An odd title I know, but I've been meaning to talk about this for a while now. For those who don't know at our first ultrasound the tech told us that she was fairly certain that we were having a girl. She certainly didn't see any parts to the contrary. Unlike the tech at our second ultrasound, who is very certain that we are having a boy. In neither case have Kylene and I seen anything that makes us feel certainty one way or the other.

But I'll tell you what, I don't think I care. I thought I did. I really thought that I wanted to know, but not knowing brings into perspective the important things. It's not about whether the baby is a boy or a girl. What's important is that our baby is healthy, and I can't wait to meet him or her.
