We're (Probably) Having A Boy!

We've left this blog unattended for longer than we ever meant to.  We had been pretty busy lately with work and Ada's getting to the point where she demands more and more time and energy.  So, we're letting you in on this more specific news a couple of months after the more general news.  But we're having another baby, and we're pretty sure it's a boy.

On Monday, we had a sonogram scheduled for our 15 week checkup.  We think it was ordered since we'd had the miscarriage in October and because earlier in this pregnancy Kim had a cyst they wanted to keep track of.  We had heard and read that this was too early to find out sex of the baby, and that's also what the technician reminded us of as she began her work. 

But after a few minutes of taking measurements and showing us the head, spine, hands and feet, etc... the technician asked "Will you two want to know the sex of this baby when it's time?"  We said yes, to which she followed up with "Because I have a pretty good guess right now."  We told her to go on.  She informed us again that we could't know for sure until next month's anatomy study, and that she hardly ever tells people this early.  "But," she said, "I'm about 80% sure that this is a boy."  We smiled at each other and I tried to refrain from laughing uncontrollably. She then went on to point out exactly what she had noticed that made her think that, and pretty quickly we agreed with her.  Then just to make sure, our little guy started doing what looked a lot like Elvis' famous Ed Sullivan dance.  At that point, the technician said "He's a proud one.  Now I think I'm 90% sure it's a boy."

So we'll be letting you know for sure in a few weeks, along with the name we're going with.  But right now we're so excited (and a little bit anxious since a boy will be quite a change for us) about this week's unexpected news.
