It's a...

After an early morning ultrasound we have been informed that in October we will be welcoming a Baby Boy to the family! We are very excited!! The ultrasound tech did say that there is a little fluid in one of the kidneys but that it is common in boys and we will watch to make sure it clears. I am a little nervous about that because it can possibly be a marker for a genetic problem but most likely it is just because it's a boy. We are hoping that through prayer the fluid will no longer be there when they do the next ultrasound. So on to names which is a difficult process!! A big thanks to KR in Hawaii who happened to give me two big tubs of boy clothes before she moved! They were supposed to be given away but I decided to keep them... just in case!

The first one is obviously the profile of the nose, head, mouth, etc.

This one is the 3D. It picks up a lot of things that are in the womb so he appears kinda lumpy but he's not. This picture is him sucking on his hand.
