Our baby boy

First, the proof that he is indeed a boy! As you can see, he is not at all shy about this!

Now, for some more fun pics! It was tough to get some of these pics, he was having fun with somersaults and all sorts of other gymnastics! :-)

Is he sucking his thumb? :-)

Drum roll please...

Well, the people had spoken a resounding "girl". In fact, ~75% of those who participated said "girl" and only ~25% said "boy". And a few funny jokesters said we were having twins and quadruplets. So what did we find out?

It's a boy!!! The Bryn Mawr Hospital Radiology nurses performed a full ultrasound test, checking everything from head to toe. Our baby boy is well and healthy! He weighs close to 1 lb, is about 20 weeks along, and has very long arms and legs (maybe he will be tall, unlike his father!). He was very active today; Rebecca has been feeling him tumble around more often these days. Rebecca has been feeling better lately, and we are both so excited to start calling our baby "he" and not "it" :-).

We have plenty of ultrasound pictures that we will be putting up very soon. Come back soon for the pictures!!

Any guesses?

Rebecca is now in the 20th week! Although she's feeling better than she was during the first trimester, she's still waiting for this supposed second trimester burst of energy :-). One exciting piece of news is that for a couple of weeks now, she has been able to feel the baby move -- she says it feels like popcorn popping. Here are some recent pictures; the bump is more visible! Lot of people have been asking us whether we think the baby is a boy or a girl. Well, what do you think? Leave your vote as a comment on this blog, we'd love to hear what you guys think. If the baby cooperates, we will be finding out the gender on Friday (March 30th), so come back soon to find out!! Thanks so much for your continued prayers.
