Here's our little guy...

So... today is the day that we have been looking forward to for a very long time. We are really excited that we are having a boy! Kyle was WAY more excited than me... at first... only because I secretly have been wishing to play dress up with headbands and tu-tu's for the last 2 months- thanks a lot Molly and Meri. Now my head is filled with thoughts of 2 little crazy boys running around and I can't imagine anything better! Plus, I am really excited that I can use all of Deakon's clothes and they will be for the right seasons and everything. (they will be ~3 years and 12 days apart) I am excited and scared to have a little baby in the house again. I seriously can't wait until the new baby is 6 months old- my ALL-time favorite stage. Deakon couldn't have been any more of the cutest, most perfect, sleeping-through-the-night, giggly, smiley 6-month old. I can't wait! I think we have pretty much narrowed down a name, but I haven't gotten the a-ok from Kyle to go posting it so you will have to wait (unless you ask me... then chances are I will tell you!) So... on to our adventure of the morning. We got up too early and ended up waiting around for the time to leave (9:15). We got to the appointment and they called me back. After getting dressed, the ultrasound tech came to get me (10:00) and I told her that my hubby was waiting (they told me that I could bring family) and she was like, "Sounds good, I just want to get a few measurements and then I will grab him and show you guys the sex and we can make a little video for you to take home"
Well... Mr. Baby Gerrie was soooooooo excited for his video debut that he could not stop moving!!! After getting most of the measurements, she spent over 10 minutes trying to get some head measurements and he was all over the place. That, plus the fact that he wouldn't put his arms down, made for some very long waiting room time for Kyle and Deakon. Finally, she was able to get what she needed and ran to get them. (10:35) I got to go potty (thank goodness, drinking 4 glasses of water at 8:45 and holding it was a killer!) and by the time we all met up, the baby had decided that it didn't want to move hardly at all and wanted to stay curdled up in a little ball. Luckily, she moved him enough to get a few good glances at his little manhood and then when she started doing the video (3D video, didn't even know... a little weird) he just laid there looking sleepy. So, I got some still images from the video. Enjoy our skinny, alien baby boy!

This is my favorite. He is just hanging out with his hands kind of under his chin, his face is profile style (not sure what that weird thing on the left is...):
His face looks kind of weird, but this is of his hands in front of his face, right before he put them under his chin(above):

The last 2 are the same pic, the bottom one is just the video in full screen. He is on his tummy, with his hand behind his neck like he is getting ready to do some crunches. The left side of his head is the base of his skull, and the right shows a little bit of his profile. The bottom middle of the pic is his skinny little spine with some ribs showing through:
No 3D pics of the manhood... sorry... just take our word for it. ;)

It is going to be so much fun having 2 little boys at your house. The clothes thing is a huge benefit (though I totally understand the dreams of pink and bows and tights and bracelets). I am so excited for you guys! Plus, is the name you are planning on the one I'm thinking of? It's a great name! I just talked to your mom today and she said something about you leaving me a comment about the name and wondered if I was offended. Heck no! I don't even remember the comment, but I think we both have great taste in names!

CONGRATS!!! That is so exciting! He and Deakon will be the best of friends---and how nice to be able to use your clothes again!!

P.S. Spill on the name--(I'm asking :) and I can't wait to hear it. :)
