So here are some ultrasound photos of our Baby BOY!!!! He was happy to show off his "parts" but we were unable to get good face shots. The second picture is as close as we could get. He still looks skeletal, perhaps I ought to be eating more??!?
The debate turned into a compromise, if we find out the gender, I get to try cloth diapers. Not too hard to decide as it is win-win for the find out team. Now we know the gender of our baby and we will put less garbage into landfills and save money on expensive disposables. Plus, as I understand it, cloth diapered, breastfed babies have less diaper rash and potty train sooner. And how can you resist a diaper named Fuzzi Bunz?

So... now we have to name him.
Since discovering our baby was our son, I have started feeling him kick and move more. The ultrasound really brought the fact that I am pregnant into more of a reality. Not that my increasing size hasn't been an eye-opener, but I feel more motherly and less frumpy. I am also excited for the oportunity to mother a son as I think I have shown I am pretty good at mothering daughters.
I am going to look into adding some boy-specific items to my wish list. If you're interested here is the link. It is a work in progress as I haven't yet shared it with Dad... http://froogle.google.com/shoppinglist?a=SWL&id=67dff93f3d9c3964e6dee826affd0ff989f2c29
One thing to note about this wishlist is that none of the links in it work, so essentially it is just a list of items we want or need with pictures and suggested stores where google told me that item was sold for the least amount of money.
One neat item I couldn't get to load onto the wishlist was located at http://www.snappiescontainers.com
I think that after my son is born, this blog is going to turn into Jeanne's shopping recommendations for the new mom....

I can't see the "third leg"! I am looking forward to mom and dad finding out it is a boy! I won't tell them when I get them from the airport on Sunday... but you better let them know soon!
Congratulations, Jeanne! I think you will find that boys are much easier than girls, at least it was for me, and since you have the whole girl thing down...this one will be a breeze!
