Tickled Blue!

We are so excited to report that we are having a baby boy! He is simply perfect! Yesterday, we had an ultrasound and "boy" was he showing off! They actually called me back a few minutes early, as Baker was pulling into the parking lot. The tech went ahead and started the ultrasound as and said they would send Baker right back. She scanned over the baby but focused on his head. Just a few seconds later, Baker came in and the tech said "I am so glad you are here...I can't hide this anymore." His boy parts were popping straight up! He was showing it off! I thought Baker would jump out of his skin with excitement! He is a very, very active little boy! It took quite some time to get all the images and measurements we needed for this test as he would not be still (and I didn't drink anything with sugar in it:) He moves constantly and kicks my right side all day long. He is constantly doing sit-ups and his backside pokes my bladder! He is very strong! On the growth chart he went straight up the middle, he's not too big, not too small. He has very long legs and long feet like his Big Daddy and his Great Grandfather, CB. Everything looked wonderful! Do say a prayer for him, he has a small spot on his heart called an echogenic foci (small calcification on the left ventrical) which can, along with other markers that I DO NOT HAVE, be a marker for a chromosomal disorder such as Down's Syndrome. The doctor is not worried at all. He says these spots show up quite often on an ultrasound, and typically they disolve. I will go see the specialist tomorrow for a more detailed test just to be sure all is well. The doctor says that there would be a greater concern if there were other markers, such as brain growth problems, other organ malformation, etc and everything else about him is just perfect! A mother can't help but worry, however we will be much more at ease tomorrow. All of the other tests on him and with me were perfect! We are just so thrilled and so blessed! In the ultrasound photos, you can see him showing off his "manhood" and his long legs! We couldn't be happier! Now it's time to shop!!!
