it's a...goofball!

Yes, it's true. We went for our 21.5 week ultrasound last Wednesday and are now ready to share the official "flavor" of our baby-in-waiting...let's just say it ain't no Cracker Jill! How do we know for sure? Well, as you can see from the these (slightly squished) sonogram images, the evidence is quite clear. Once the ultrasound tech had located telltale signs of testosterone, she used her handy arrow cursor to point out the somewhat obvious peninsula shape that kept finding its way into the shot. Here we have a good, clear image that could be equated to the angle one might see if the fetus had plopped himself on top of a copy machine for a nice "shot from below."




Poor little guy isn't even out of the womb and we already have some embarrassing photos ready to show during his teenage years. If you squint a bit at the other two images, you can see him: 1. sucking on his thumb (in profile); and 2. facing the camera (starting to look a bit like his dad here). Gavin even provided some helpful tracings to aid with visualization. Needless to say, despite (or maybe because of) all the giggling, we are very excited to meet this little guy...only 4 months left to go!

Did I say a boy, or did I say a boy?? (I actually don't remember if I said a boy.) Congrats you two! Travis will be so proud to have a baby named after him.
