While we’re anxiously awaiting the ultrasound…

I thought you might like to see the contents of the nursery-to-be!

It’s a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our four-and-a-half-year-old cousin slowly tore open the envelope and showed everyone a BLUE ribbon; it was so dramatic! Ultrasound pictures and video to be posted when our new computer is setup, hopefully later this week.

Nineteen week update!  I feel the baby moving pretty much every day now.  The most prominently when I was 1) eating spicy salsa and 2) when I was in a room with really loud music.

Our ultrasound on Monday was amazing!  We got a good look at baby’s arms–complete with elbows, hands, and fingers.    Those little legs and feet have developed a lot since last time we peeked.  They were completely outstretched as if standing up!   And his or her lovely heartbeat is still beating strong.

We looked away while the technician checked for the sex, and baby cooperated so she got a good look. And then the results were sealed in an envelope for us to open on Sunday afternoon.  Surprisingly we haven’t been too tempted to open it up.  We’re afraid to watch the ultrasound video in case we accidently see something!

We’ll update again on Sunday…

Tomorrow is our ultrasound appointment where we can find out the sex of the baby.  Since our family has a get-together planned this coming weekend, we decided to be clever about the results.  We’re going to ask the doctor to put a blue or pink ribbon in a sealed envelope that we won’t open until the family is together.  We’ll be posting the results here on Sunday afternoon.  Fun!
