It's a Boy!!!!!!!

We are proud to announce that we are having a baby boy!! We went in today not knowing really what to expect and walked away with the great news that our first born will be a son. When the ultrasonagrapher told us it was a boy, Cameron asked "How sure are you?" She replied, smiling, "I'd bet my paycheck on it!" Andrew also saw the evidence and confirmed that he was pretty sure that he was a boy.

Andrew was really excited because he didn't expect to see an actual moving baby. The first ultrasound seemed almost like just a picture with no real movement or definite physical features. But this time the baby was moving his arms, shifting to and fro, flipping and looking around. Truly amazing!!! It was suggested to us that Cameron should drink a half a can of coke to make the baby move a bit. We give testimony that the baby did, indeed, feel the effects! :)

The first picture on set of ultrasound shots is a nice profile of him, with fingers and his foot. The second photo, you can see his fist moving towards his face, as if he is trying to suck his thumb. The final photo is him posing for a photo, looking right at us. To get a better look, click on the photo and it will open a larger version.

The ultrasonagrapher looked at all the organs and said that everything looked great and normal. One defining feature is the "Dye Cranium", which Andrew passed on to this lucky child. Cameron suggested that we could go shopping for hats together. Andrew thinks that it has Cameron's nose and mouth, but it's hard to tell for sure.

We can't stop looking at the photos and stand in awe of what an awesome God we have! We can't help but recall Psalm 139:13-14 which says, "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." There's no denying that the Lord has done this!!! A true miracle!

Now for our weight statistics:

Cameron: +7.5 lbs

Andrew: ....no real change....Boo!!!
