Today we had our big ultrasound and with a couple phone calls and some finagling of the Doc's schedule he was able to "run" the six blocks or so from his clinic to the hospital so he could be there for the big news.The U/S tech began scanning and right away we saw a very healthy heartbeat (145bpm). We saw that he was facing down and I thought for sure I was going to leave without finding out. After about 20 minutes of measurements we took a break and the Doc suggested that maybe if I peed it would free up some space for the little bugger to move around.
I came back and jumped up and down a couple times (I figured - what the heck). She started the scan again and still he was in the wrong position. She had me lay on my left side to see if that would shift him around (which meant I couldn't see the screen anymore) when I heard the Doc say "Is that...oh..." I knew right away that it was a boy.
Today is 18.5 weeks (19 on Saturday) and everything looked great with the baby, we saw hands and legs and even got to see fingers and toes - something I didn't remember getting to see very clearly with David. Check out this really neat hand shot:

Things are going so well with this pregnancy that if it were not for the big GIANT belly I now have (as you see from the above shot) and the constant peeing I really wouldn't believe it! Now I just have to wait 20 or so more weeks (preferably not more than 20) to finally meet this little guy in person. We have chosen a name for the little guy and so let me introduce you to Shaun Scott - check out his first profile shot!
