Drumroll, if you please

So, working our way from the top... the first picture is the stomach (the black dot). The next picture shows us... IT'S A BOY!!!! Thank you all for participating in our poll and I'm sorry if your guess was incorrect. We are so stinking excited!!!! We both wanted a boy. So the next two pictures, we think anyways, are our son's attempt at signing "I love you" and getting his guns up for Texas Tech. Lol. Actually, the second one looks more like number 1 than the guns up sign, but we'll take what we can get right now!







And these are the 3D ultrasound pics that they took at our doctor's office! We were stoked about these. We were actually planning a trip to a place downtown that would've put a bunch of these on a DVD with music for like $200, so we were really glad that they did them as a normal part of the ultrasound. The first 2 pics we refer to as the "Linus" pics. I can already tell we'll have a blanket-toting son. And the last two, I think anyways, show that he has my cheekbones and Brent's nose! Of course, we'll still have to wait to see if he gets Brent's brown eyes or my blue eyes.



Sorry for the long delay in posting! I was hoping to find the cords to the new camera we got for Christmas so that I could upload pics of me and not just the baby, lol. But alas, they're in a box somewhere. That, and the very proud Daddy of the baby has been showing off the pics at work. So I couldn't scan them until tonight.



I'm still doing great. The doctor keeps using that "perfect" word. He said the baby is in the 71st percentile for his size. I'm hoping he doesn't get any bigger for my sake, lol! Tax season is keeping me busy at the moment so I don't know when the next blog entry will be, but I'll try to update sooner next time. Oh, and one more pic for the road. This is the crib we've decided on:




We were having a difficult time finding a crib that would match the furniture that we already had from my childhood cause it's antique white. But this crib from Target was as near to perfect as we could get! I can't wait to set it up! We're still deciding on a theme for the nursery.

That's all for now!

Hurray!! No competition for those cute baby girl clothes!!

I must say, he looks a little pale in those pictures, but otherwise awfully cute.

How amazing that you can see so much detail!

I'm so excited about my first first cousin!!

FEEL GOOD!!!

yay!!! I knew you were having a boy!! Cute crib, cute baby, everything is looking great! Sounds like you are doing really well. Don't worry about size...the ultrasound measurements are FREQUENTLY off... by as much as a pound in either direction. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Hey, how did my daughter get on here before me?

She must have been TROLLING your site since the 15th, waiting for news!

I really wanna see your happy little pregnant self too, cuz. Just continue to be healthy, and do some healthy knocking on wood or something when the doctor keeps saying everything is perfect, alright?

Oh, and bless my daughter, she got it wrong. You and I are first cousins. You and Sarah Rochel are first cousins once removed. Baby Bean and SR will be second cousins. Whew!

Do you know who makes the crib you picked out. I bought it from a friend of mine and she can't remember... I'm hoping to find a toddler rail, but I think I need to know who makes it and the model. Also, do you know if it converts to a full size bed??? I would love if you could help me out.
Thanks,
Crystal

So sorry Crystal... just now saw your comment. This was a crib from Target. It converts to a toddler day bed or a full size bed (if you also have the conversion parts). I can't remember the brand name right now, but I can look it up. By the way... I know lots of Crystals... which one is this?
