Definitely a Boy!!

Graham's ultrasound was very obvious that he was a boy and this one was no different. We went into our appointment with the hope of a girl, but the first thing the technician told us was "wow, this is a boy for sure!" He was spread eagle, ready for us to see exactly what he was. The technician didn't even have to move the wand around to find out. It was the first picture we got of our little guy.

Our baby boy is very healthy, as far as they can tell, and growing just right. His head is big like Graham's was so hopefully delivery will work out this time and I won't end up with another C-Section. His brain has developed well so maybe he'll be a genius like Graham. That would be nice. It's been too easy with Graham. He already knows more than the average 2 1/2 year old. Spine development and organs look great and heart is pumping well. He has all of his limbs and and is LONG!! His little profile reminded me of the first time we saw Graham on the ultrasound. They will definitely be brothers.

The baby was kicking and moving around so much that the technician took over 30mins to complete the ultrasound. At one point, she had to start poking my belly to try and get him to turn so she could measure his spine. He wasn't cooperating very well so I'm hoping that isn't a sign of how he'll be when born. They ask you to come in with a full bladder for a better look at the baby. He kept kicking it every time she tried to get a good look at him so I was very relieved when the ultrasound was over.

We can't wait until our little guy is here and we can snuggle up with him. Graham is already such an angel with babies that I know he is going to be a great big brother. He is always kissing and hugging any baby he sees (yes, even strangers in stores or restaurants) and is constantly saying, in a high squeaky voice, "Oh! That baby is SO cute!!!" He loves when someone lets him hold their baby and never wants to let them go. He tells me he is going to teach his brother how to say "mama" and "dada" and that he is going to help me make him burp. He loves kissing and hugging my belly and saying, "I love you little baby." It makes me tear up every time. It took us forever to get pregnant with this baby but I think he is coming at just the right time. We cannot wait for Christmas!!!!!
