This morning we had our 2nd ultrasound through the UNC study. As Jeff said, "We are having a little dude."

It was our first ultrasound where he looked like a real baby, and not just a bean. We could see everything...his head, body, legs, toes, fingers...and she also pointed out his heart, kidneys and stomach. The first thing she checked for was his hearbeat, which was 162. When she told us that we both thought it was a girl (I guess the ole' wives' tale isn't always right), but then she zoomed in on his little pee pee and we all three knew it was a boy!

The picture below is a view as if he is looking right at the camera. His head is on the left side of the screen and he has both arms above his head. His little body goes off to the right. You can't see his legs. For those who haven't seen an ultrasound (I had not), the eyes look like black holes in an ultrasound image.


This picture is of his little right hand...


And this is the picture of us exploiting the poor little guy. This is a view as if he were sitting on a glass chair and the picture was taken from underneath the chair. You can see his bottom sort of in the middle of the screen, and you can see that he's sitting with his legs apart....
