Oh Boy!

Yes, we're having a boy!!!! We went to our ultrasound appointment yesterday and saw our sweet, adorable little baby for the first time. It was so cute. He was rolling and swimming and twisting like crazy, and I couldn't even feel most of it! I was surprised to see how much he must move without me knowing. The ultrasound guy had trouble getting certain views since the baby was moving so much, but he eventually showed us everything even though he had to skip around a lot. We saw his brain, heart, stomach, kidneys, bladder, lungs, and spinal cord. The baby looks healthy and normal. He weighs about a pound! Over and over again he proudly displayed the fact that he was indeed a boy, but he kept hiding his face by burrowing it towards my back. We did get a few cute glimpses of his nose and mouth, and a really neat profile view of him swallowing some fluid. From the beginning to the end of the session we saw that his little bladder gradually got a bit larger. This baby is so cute! I loved seeing his little feet and his little fingers waggling into a fist and open again. Here are just a few of the ultrasound pictures that we got to take home:

Here is one of the baby's side. The ultrasound guy kind of had a sense of humor. I do think the baby has great looking biceps though!

This one's a little hard to see at first. It's a front shot of the face, but it goes side to side. You can see the nose (more humor from this guy) and the upper lip. The baby's hands are covering the rest of his face. You can especially see the right hand.

A cute little leg and foot!

The gender shot looking from below. No questions here!

I was definitely surprised that it was a boy. For some reason I thought it would be more likely to be a girl (and so did most other people we talked to!), but Jordan and I both loved the idea of a boy. So it was a wonderful surprise. Now we can't even imagine who else it would be. I think I dreamed about him all night! We are even pretty sure about a name: Kimball Jordan Haug*. It's nice to put an identity with our baby. We feel even closer to him than before. We're so excited to welcome little Kimball into our family. He has so many relatives and friends who love him so much already. He is definitely a lucky little boy!

*For those who haven't heard the name for a while, the vowels in Haug sound like the vowels in mouse or house. I understand any confusion because I didn't even pronounce it correctly the first time I saw it!
