We'll call this one a boy.

September 20, 2004

The day we have been looking forward to. Our first real look at this little creature swimming around in my belly. We have seen it twice now but it still looked pretty much like a tadpole and we're keeping our fingers crossed for a more human-like appearance this time around.

The ultrasound tech does her thing. Pointing things out as best she can. Pointless since it all looks the same to us. The baby isn't being terribly cooperative...lying on its belly and not letting us take a look at the important parts. And then it kicks and shifts.

"We'll call this one a boy", the tech says.

I can hardly believe my ears. I grew a boy. A son. My son.
