We Found Out the Sex of the Baby (85% sure)

As I am typing this right now, I am also scanning out ultra sound images from August 24, 2011 and October 17, 2011. I really can't tell you what the images are saying from August. When the ultrasound was happening we could see a flickering. That was the heartbeat. That was still exciting. It was also just exciting to see the bit of mass on a screen.

This most recent ultrasound, the one we had yesterday, was especially exciting because we were able to find out the sex of the baby. My mom and dad were there and so were Lindsey's parents. They prepared Lindsey while Steve, my parents and I just chatted away in the lobby. Finally after 15 minutes or so they called us back. I walked in first and you could see on the screen images--of exactly what, I couldn't tell you. Then the nurse began to point things out to us and began to explain what she was looking for. It was amazing to see our little baby on that screen! He was moving like crazy. Yes, I said "he". The nurse was able to tell that it's a boy. At least she's 85% sure of that. We were all confused because at first she said it was a girl. Then, oh wait a minute. Yup, it's a boy. She was able to get a measurement of the baby's heartbeat, which is healthy, and we were able to tell the sex.

We sure are proud parents-to-be... To celebrate, we went to Sizzler after. It was fun to just hang out with all the parents and Lindsey. What a great night.

As promised, I finally got my scanner to work. Here are the images.
