So "he" is actually a...

Can you guess?




Ok if you're having a hard time (believe me, me and DH were a little stumped at first....I mean, we dont know what we're looking at...so we tentatively asked, "A boy?" Dr. O chuckled and zoomed in and gave us this picture, which left no doubt.)



IT'S A BOY!

Needless to say, the ultra sound with the perinatologist, Dr. O, went well! We actually saw the doctor for a total of 10 minutes, but had to sit in the waiting room for about two hours!! (They had had a prior emergency). Doc was funny and tried to explain the quad results and whether we were going to decide to do the amnio as a comparison to playing black jack in Las Vegas. The explanation was actually a little confusing to me, but I'm glad he tried to put it in laymens terms. (Part of me wanted to just say, look doc, tell it to me straight, in technical terms. I've done so much research, that I'll probably understand that best. But of course I didn't).

Thanks be to God, our baby is completely healthy and normal! Doc even went on to say that our ultrasound was "boring!" That's awesome. We LOVE boring. So of course, we're not going to do an amnio. Dr. O is having us come back in a month to take a better look at the heart though, only becaust at 16 weeks, the baby is too young to really get a good look at it (but we did see the four chambers of the heart, which I read is normal). (I've also read previously that the heart is more fully developed, and easier to view, around 22 weeks, so no alarm there.) Hey, I get one more closer look at MY SON!! Holy moly, I cannot believe I just typed that. That was the first time I've ever referred to this baby as MY SON!

We are just so over the moon!

God is so glorious! Prayer and faith really works!!!!

Looks like we're not doing a gender reveal party. We're just too excited, we are bursting with the news.

Here's a parting photo of OUR SON!!! (Isn't he cute and handsome already? lol, such a proud mommy).
